The most important issue for PTSS controller design is how to eliminate the influence of extra torque. Using backstepping technique, adaptive fuzzy torque control （AFTC） algorithm is proposed for PTSS in this paper, which reflects the essential characteristics of PTSS and guarantees transient tracking performance as well as final tracking accuracy. Takagi-Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy logic system is utilized to compensate parametric uncertainties and unstructured uncertainties. The output velocity of actuator identified model is introduced into AFTC aiming to eliminate extra torque. The closed-loop stability is studied using small gain theorem and the control system is proved to be semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. The proposed AFTC algorithm is applied to an electric load simulator （ELS）, and the comparative experimental results indicate that AFTC controller is effective for PTSS.展开更多

These overhead power lines (L-213, L-214) connect the 220/110/35 kV “Songino” substation with the “Mandal” substation and form system networks. This paper presents the challenges encountered when implementing single-phase automatic reclosing (SPAR) devices and compares the changes in power system parameters before and after SPAR deployment for a long 220 kV line. Simulations and analyses were carried out using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software, focusing on rotor angle stability, and the overall impact on the power system during short-circuit faults. The evaluation also utilized measurement data from the Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS) to compare system behavior pre- and post-implementation of SPAR. The findings reveal that SPAR significantly enhances system reliability and stability, effectively mitigating the risk of oscillations and stability loss triggered by short circuits. This improvement contributes to a more resilient power system, reducing the potential for disturbances caused by faults.展开更多

Traditional approaches, such as Density Functional Theory (DFT), are accurate but computationally expensive and unsuitable for high-throughput screening. This study introduces a machine learning (ML) framework trained on high-dimensional data from the Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD) to predict formation energy, a key stability metric. Among the evaluated models, deep learning outperformed Gradient Boosting Machines and Random Forest, achieving up to 0.88 R2 prediction accuracy. Feature importance analysis identified thermodynamic, electronic, and structural properties as the primary drivers of stability, offering interpretable insights into material behavior. Compared to DFT, the proposed ML framework significantly reduces computational costs, enabling the rapid screening of thousands of compounds. These results highlight ML’s transformative potential in materials discovery, with direct applications in energy storage, semiconductors, and catalysis.展开更多

It is expected that the innovations in this method will make the design, construction, and operation of open-pit iron mines safer and more economical.展开更多
