The levitation system of the high-speed maglev train is a complex system that must quickly adjust after disturbances to minimize their impact on the train's movements. This paper presents a type of non-singular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) finite-time control approach for the levitation gap tracking of the high-speed maglev train. First, we analyze the levitation system's dynamic characteristics w...Show More
In light of the cumulative impact of the stochastic track irregularity, ensuring optimal performance of the electromagnetic levitation system requires not only achieving robust operating performances but also sustaining high reliability over extended service periods. This paper conducts comprehensive research of the structural safety of the levitation unit within a Maglev train's levitation system...Show More
Large-scale high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets usually have tens of double/single pancake coil units. The structural optimization and manufacture of the magnet assembly result in varying axial gaps between adjacent pancakes. This brings additional difficulties for inserting the superconducting joints and dealing with the welding factors such as the gap, welding angle and overlapped len...Show More
Knowledge of the impact of uncertain inputs is valuable, especially in power systems with large amounts of stochastic renewable generations. A global sensitivity analysis (GSA) can determine the impact of input uncertainties on the output quantity of interest in a certain physical or mathematical model. The GSA has not been widely employed in power systems due to the prohibitively computational bu...Show More
This paper introduces the basis-adaptive sparse polynomial chaos (BASPC) expansion to perform the probabilistic power flow (PPF) analysis in power systems. The proposed method takes advantage of three state-of-the-art uncertainty quantification methodologies reasonably: the hyperbolic scheme to truncate the infinite polynomial chaos (PC) series; the least angle regression (LARS) technique to selec...Show More

This paper presents a method for measurement of the harmonic impedance of an aggregated distribution network using multiple Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) with the additional capability of synchronized voltage and current spectrum measurement. The perturbations of the harmonic voltages which originate from the higher voltage levels are distinguished based on the measurements from multiple busbars...Show More
In this paper, the authors apply a surrogate model-based method for probabilistic power flow (PPF) in the power system subject to truncated random variables. Due to a growing number of uncertainty sources are being brought into the modern power system, the traditional deterministic power flow analysis lacks its ability to recognize the realistic states of power systems, and thus turns to PPF for h...Show More
In distribution networks, the data redundancy is usually assumed to be an inevitable bottleneck of traditional grid control and operation. Recently, the availability of smart meter data in distribution systems has provided an opportunity to improve the observability. As for the medium-voltage (MV) distribution system, there is an increasing interest to use the spatially aggregated smart meter data...Show More
In this paper, the authors firstly present the theoretical foundation of a state-of-the-art uncertainty quantification method, the dimension-adaptive sparse grid interpolation (DASGI), for introducing it into the applications of probabilistic power flow (PPF), specifically as discussed herein. It is well-known that numerous sources of uncertainty are being brought into the present-day electrical g...Show More
Simulation tools play a critical role in the design and test of power systems. In particular, real time simulation is now reliable and constitutes the basis for Hardware in the Loop and Power hardware in the Loop testing techniques. The application of real time simulation and related techniques to power systems is made particularly challenging as it should cover the analysis of stochastic behavior...Show More
Pursuing 2020 and 2050 energy and emission goals also the large-scale research facilities must reduce energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, as well as behaving like good citizens of the smart grid. These new requirements are currently being integrated in the design process of these facilities. Hence, extensive verifications and tests must be carried out before a fac...Show More
This paper proposes a modified Taylor-Kalman filter (TKF) for instantaneous phasor estimation based on an improved dynamic model describing the complex trajectory of dynamic phasors. The improved dynamic model is obtained thanks to a revised state transition equation of the rotating phasor and its derivatives. The proposed approach is assessed with dynamic compliance tests defined in the synchroph...Show More
This paper investigates the possibility of measuring fundamental and harmonic synchrophasors as well as the signal frequency using a modified Taylor Kalman filter (TKF). In a previous paper, a modified TKF was proposed to track the complex trajectory of dynamic phasors of the fundamental frequency component based on an improved dynamic model under non-steady state conditions. In this paper, we ext...Show More
