Critical States Identiffcation in Power System via Lattice Partition and Its Application in Reliability Assessment
With the increasing complexity of power systems,accurately identifying critical states (the states corresponding to minimal cut sets) and assessing system reliability have become crucial tasks. In this paper, a mathematical lattice structure is employed to represent and partition the state space of power system. Based on this structure, a novel recursive method is proposed to efffciently identify critical states by leveraging lattice partitioning and Optimal Power Flow(OPF) calculations. This m…

Voltage Synchronization and Proportional Current Sharing of Grid-Forming Inverters
Most previously proposed controllers are analyzed in the small-signal/quasi-steady regime rather than large-signal or transient stability for grid-forming inverters (GFMI). Additionally, methods that presume system-wide data--global measurements and complete grid-model knowledge--are challenging to realize in practice and unsuitable for large-scale operation. Moreover, proportional current sharing is rarely embedded into them. The whole system is a high-order, nonlinear differential system, mak…

Universal Graph Learning for Power System Reconfigurations: Transfer Across Topology Variations
This work addresses a fundamental challenge in applying deep learning to power systems: developing neural network models that transfer across significant system changes, including networks with entirely different topologies and dimensionalities, without requiring training data from unseen reconfigurations. Despite extensive research, most ML-based approaches remain system-specific, limiting real-world deployment. This limitation stems from a dual barrier. First, topology changes shift feature d…

Efficient High-Order Participation Factor Computation via Batch-Structured Tensor Contraction
Participation factors (PFs) quantify the interaction between system modes and state variables, and they play a crucial role in various applications such as modal analysis, model reduction, and control design. With increasing system complexity, especially due to power electronic devices and renewable integration, the need for scalable and high-order nonlinear PF (NPF) computation has become more critical. This paper presents an efficient tensor-based method for calculating NPFs up to an arbitrar…

Taming Spontaneous Stop-and-Go Traffic Waves: A Computational Mechanism Design Perspective
It is well known that stop-and-go waves can be generated spontaneously in traffic even without bottlenecks. Can such undesirable traffic patterns, induced by intrinsic human driving behaviors, be tamed effectively and inexpensively? Taking advantage of emerging connectivity and autonomy technologies, we envision a simple yet realistic traffic control system to achieve this goal. To prove the concept, we design such a system to suppress these waves while maximizing traffic throughput in the Tada…

How can a geothermal storage system be optimally integrated into a local district? A case study
Achieving net-zero targets requires the phase-out of fossil-based heating. A major challenge is the seasonal mismatch between renewable heat supply and demand. District heating networks often dispose of excess heat in summer and rely on fossil backups in winter. Large-scale thermal energy storage offers a solution by storing surplus summer heat for use during winter, thus reducing the need for fossil fuels. This study investigates the feasibility of a large-scale thermal storage system at a pow…

Nonlinear System Identification for Model-Based Control of Waked Wind Turbines
This work presents a nonlinear system identification framework for modeling the power extraction dynamics of wind turbines, including both freestream and waked conditions. The approach models turbine dynamics using data-driven power coefficient maps expressed as combinations of compact radial basis functions and polynomial bases, parameterized in terms of tip-speed ratio and upstream conditions. These surrogate models are embedded in a first-order dynamic system suitable for model-based control…

An Analogy of Frequency Droop Control for Grid-forming Sources
In this paper, we present an analogy for a power system dominated by grid-forming (GFM) sources that proves to be a powerful visualization tool for analyses of power flow, frequency regulation, and power dispatch. Frequency droop characteristics of a typical GFM source are exactly reflected by an ordinary model of water vessels. The frequency is represented by visible water levels while the droop slope is reified by the vessel sizes. This proposed analogy allows us to use the intuitive water-fl…

Underground power distribution systems (PDSs) are increasingly deployed in urban areas. The integration of smart devices including smart switchgears, pad-mounted distribution transformers and inverter-based resources (IBRs) enhance system resilience, however simultaneously introducing unique challenges. The challenges include inrush currents caused by trapped charges in underground cables, ferroresonance in distribution transformers during energization, and three-phase load imbalance resulting …

Pinching-Antenna Systems (PASS)-based Indoor Positioning
Pinching antenna (PA), a flexible waveguide integrated with dielectric particles, intelligently reconstructs line-of-sight channels. Utilizing its geometric deterministic model and meter-level reconstruction, PA systems (PASS) are applied to uplink indoor positioning. In this paper, the uplink positioning system model for PASS is firstly proposed. A PASS-based received signal strength indication (RSSI) method is proposed to measure the distance from the users to each PA, which is efficient and …

Collaborative Computing Strategy Based SINS Prediction for Emergency UAVs Network
In emergency scenarios, the dynamic and harsh conditions necessitate timely trajectory adjustments for drones, leading to highly dynamic network topologies and potential task failures. To address these challenges, a collaborative computing strategy based strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) prediction for emergency UAVs network (EUN) is proposed, where a two-step weighted time expanded graph (WTEG) is constructed to deal with dynamic network topology changes. Furthermore, the task schedu…

A Multi-Model Probabilistic Framework for Seismic Risk Assessment and Retrofit Planning of Electric Power Networks
Electric power networks are critical lifelines, and their disruption during earthquakes can lead to severe cascading failures and significantly hinder post-disaster recovery. Enhancing their seismic resilience requires identifying and strengthening vulnerable components in a cost-effective and system-aware manner. However, existing studies often overlook the systemic behavior of power networks under seismic loading. Common limitations include isolated component analyses that neglect network-wid…

Robust Integrated Priority and Speed Control based on Hierarchical Stochastic Optimization to Promote Bus Schedule Adherence along Signalized Arterial
In intelligent transportation systems (ITS), adaptive transit signal priority (TSP) and dynamic bus control systems have been independently developed to maintain efficient and reliable urban bus services. However, those two systems could potentially lead to conflicting decisions due to the lack of coordination. Although some studies explore the integrated control strategies along the arterial, they merely rely on signal replanning to address system uncertainties. Therefore, their performance se…
