Revisiting the Effect of Grid-Following Converter on Frequency Dynamics -- Part I: Center of Inertia
Understanding the impact of grid-following (GFL) converters on system frequency dynamics is crucial, from both the center of inertia (COI) and frequency spatial variation perspectives. Part I of this series clarifies the mechanisms by which GFLs influence COI frequency dynamics. A multi-generator model of the power system with GFLs is developed, incorporating the local dynamics of GFLs and their interaction with synchronous generators via virtual tie lines. By aggregating the multi-generator mo…

Feeling like moving this account to a GTS instance, would delete my Bsky and bridge it there and make it a one-for-all, but I want something like WP to tweak not GTS. It'd be cool if @… would consider a 10 buck a month plan for something like ClassicPress w/ ActivityPub, I imagine that's pretty light.

Mind and Motion Aligned: A Joint Evaluation IsaacSim Benchmark for Task Planning and Low-Level Policies in Mobile Manipulation
Benchmarks are crucial for evaluating progress in robotics and embodied AI. However, a significant gap exists between benchmarks designed for high-level language instruction following, which often assume perfect low-level execution, and those for low-level robot control, which rely on simple, one-step commands. This disconnect prevents a comprehensive evaluation of integrated systems where both task planning and physical execution are critical. To address this, we propose Kitchen-R, a novel ben…

3 out of 7 recommended news stories are about Trump failing.
I would be happier about it if it did not imply Putin was winning. This is bad for everyone, but especially Ukraine.
Trump’s ego, fealty, and idiocy is going to destroy the world if Europe, the Global South, and other democratic nations don’t take the reins from the USA.

Revisiting the Effect of Grid-Following Converter on Frequency Dynamics -- Part II: Spatial Variation
Besides the center of inertia (COI) frequency dynamics addressed in Part I, the spatial frequency variation in power systems with grid-following (GFL) converters is also crucial. Part II revisits the effect of GFLs on frequency spatial variation. Leveraging the interfacing state variables and equivalent frequency defined in Part I, an extended frequency divider (FD) formula is proposed. The linearized mapping relationship between network node frequency and synchronous generator (SG) rotor frequ…

Probing HZZ Interactions through Single Production of Higgs Boson at FCC-ee
The associated production of a Higgs boson with a Z boson in the collisions of electron and positron beams at Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) have been studied. Here, the Z boson decays into dileptons, while the Higgs boson decays to all possible channels, mostly to the b\bar{b}. The collisions provides a clean and powerful channel to probe the (HZZ) coupling at future lepton colliders. Following the event generation, the analysis is performed using the recoil mass method, which allows model-…

Maybe it wasn’t a waste of time after all.
““We were able to win the following concession: That the United States could offer Article 5-like protection, which is one of the real reasons why Ukraine wants to be in NATO,” Witkoff told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
But the question is, what about the territory?
