Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
With the continuous increase in the penetration rate of distributed photovoltaics (PV) in the distribution network, the impact of power electronic equipment represented by grid-connected inverters on the power grid is increasing, and the risk of wide-band oscillation in the power grid is intensifying. However, few existing studies have proposed wide-band oscillation stability criteria to meet the safe operation of grid-connected distributed PV with a high penetration rate, so that effective suppression measures cannot be taken. In view of this, an analysis method for wide-band oscillation under grid-connected distributed PV with a high penetration rate based on the equivalent model …

Firstly, the calculation formula of induced electricity of the double-circuit line on the same tower is deduced theoretically. The working principle of the series resonant grounding device with arc suppression function is analyzed, …
Voltage Balancing Method For Single Energy Storage System In Bipolar Dc Microgrid, Laixin Guo, Zhi Li, Lei Xie, Penghui Han
Voltage Balancing Method For Single Energy Storage System In Bipolar Dc Microgrid, Laixin Guo, Zhi Li, Lei Xie, Penghui Han
Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
The development of distributed energy resources brings significant advantages to bipolar DC microgrids. Due to load asymmetry, voltage imbalance may occur between the positive and negative poles of a bipolar DC microgrid. Voltage balancers have therefore been introduced and are generally classified into centralized and distributed configurations. A centralized voltage balancer cannot address voltage imbalance caused by long-distance power lines or terminal loads, while a distributed voltage balancer increases system cost due to the construction of additional facilities. To overcome these drawbacks, energy storage systems can be integrated into bipolar DC microgrids. However, this approach requires separate installation at each …

Evaluation Of Impact Of High-Energy-Consuming Industries On Carbon Emissions And Carbon Market Based On Neural Ode-Cge Model, Chengjun Huo, Xueting Cheng, Jinkui Liu, Peng Zou, Jun Wan, Jia Wu
Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
High-energy-consuming industries represent the primary source of carbon emissions in China, which makes the reduction of their carbon emissions a critical priority for the country's carbon emission reduction efforts. However, due to the lack of robust carbon emission constraint mechanisms targeting these industries, their motivation for emission reduction remains significantly insufficient. To address this issue, this paper proposes a simulation method that integrates neural ordinary differential equations (Neural ODE) with a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. Using input-output data from 2022 at the national and provincial levels, this method constructs a baseline scenario and three emission reduction scenarios to assess …

Anomaly Sound Detection Of High-Voltage Shunt Reactors Based On Soft-Constrained Latent Regularized Adversarial Learning, Zhihong Wang, Fuqiang Xiong, Jiawen Zuo, Mingzhu Tang, Jianjun Zhang, Xingyu Tang
Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
With the widespread application of high-voltage shunt reactors in power systems, abnormal phenomena arising during their operation have attracted increasing attention. In existing latent regularization adversarial anomaly detection (LRAAD) methods, the hyperparameter M imposes a hard constraint on the upper bound of the KL divergence of generator-produced spectrograms, which hampers the model's ability to effectively distinguish normal from abnormal data in the latent space, leading to training instability and degraded anomaly detection performance. To address this issue, this paper proposes a soft-constrained latent regularization adversarial anomaly detection (Soft-LRAAD) method. The proposed method introduces a soft constraint loss to replace the …

Improving Ground Cover Crop Fractional Vegetation Mapping Via Causality-Based Deep Representation Learning, Atif Latif, Masoumeh Hashemi, Matt Yost, Somayeh Esmaeili, Xiaojun Qi
Computer Science Student Research
Semantic segmentation and deep learning methods have rarely been applied to fractional vegetation cover (FVC) segmentation tasks due to the lack of publicly available datasets for training deep learning models. FVC is a key indicator for assessing vegetation distribution, crop density, and crop responses to water availability and fertilizer application, yet conventional field-based measurement methods are time consuming, costly, labor intensive, and may lack the accuracy required for critical applications such as drought stress evaluation and water productivity. In this paper, we introduced causality-based deep learning techniques for FVC segmentation on a publicly available RGB dataset that consists of four …
Improved Unet++-Based Approach For Multi-State Appliance Load Disaggregation, Gui Gu, Jiangliang Jin, Liangliang Hao, Qisheng Huang
Improved Unet++-Based Approach For Multi-State Appliance Load Disaggregation, Gui Gu, Jiangliang Jin, Liangliang Hao, Qisheng Huang
Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
Nowadays, non-intrusive load disaggregation techniques face two major challenges. First, it is difficult to effectively extract the power characteristics of multi-state appliances in low-power states. Second, the generalization capability of disaggregation models is insufficient. To address these two challenges, an improved Unet++-based approach for multi-state appliance load disaggregation is proposed. First, within the encoder-decoder framework, a parallel-structured encoder is adopted to enhance the parsing capability of complex power signals, while skip connections ensure that the decoder can accurately reconstruct the original signal, thus improving the refinement of the disaggregation. Second, a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) module is introduced to …

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
Computer vision-based methods for insulator defect detection from aerial images are widely used in power inspection. To address missed and false detections caused by complex backgrounds and small target scales, a YOLO-insulator defect detection model is proposed to improve detection accuracy. First, the reparameterized convolution based on channel shuffle-one-shot aggregation (RCS-OSA) is introduced to replace the traditional two-dimensional convolution C2f, thus enhancing the network's feature extraction capability. In the neck network, the RCS-OSA module is used to replace some of the C2f convolutions, and the squeeze-and-excitation network (SENet) is introduced to enhance the model's ability to capture inter-channel relationships and …

Evaluating Partisan Registrations Amid The Electronic Registration Information Center Controversy, Jared Mcdonald, Alauna Safarpour, Michael Hanmer, Lisa Bryant
Political Science Faculty Publications
Election integrity is paramount to democratic health. The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) is a multistate collaboration that facilitates essential election administration functions, whereby members share administrative data to ensure clean voter registration lists and to encourage individuals who are eligible but unregistered (EBUs) to register to vote. Despite ERIC’s primary focus on maintaining the accuracy of voter rolls, in 2022, some conservatives accused it of being a tool for partisan electioneering, prompting nine Republican-led states to leave ERIC. To assess the validity of a central criticism made against ERIC, the authors leverage field experiments conducted by member states during …
From Presumed Intent To Programmed Performance: Smart Contracts And The Future Of Contract Law, Amir Bushansky
From Presumed Intent To Programmed Performance: Smart Contracts And The Future Of Contract Law, Amir Bushansky
Cleveland State Law Review
Smart contracts—self-executing agreements operating on decentralized blockchain networks—challenge the fundamental assumptions underlying traditional contract law. This Article challenges the prevailing scholarly approach that seeks to reshape smart contracts to fit existing doctrinal frameworks. Instead, it argues for adapting contract law itself to better accommodate smart contracts, given their unique advantages in cyberspace. Building on two complementary premises—that contract law primarily operates as “mimicking law,” reflecting the presumed expectations and preferences of contracting parties, and that default rules function as behavioral reference points that shape party behavior—the Article develops a positive theory predicting the expectations and preferences of parties entering into …
