Short-circuit problems in unbalanced radial distribution networks have become more common as a result of distributed generation connectivity and smart grid advancements. An accurate and effective strategy for assessing these faults due to short circuits is presented in this study. In contrast to traditional methods, this approach uses relationship matrices that are created expressly to take use of distribution network's radial characteristics. Through the examination of variations in bus voltages, bus current injections, and branch currents during fault conditions, the suggested method formulates the analysis of various fault types. The accuracy of developed method has been validated on IEEE-123 bus modified test network by comparing the obtained results with PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results.

This article proposes a massively-parallel approach for solving the difficult problem matching high-altitude image pairs from different domains, e.g., Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and visible light imagery (EO). The through-weather measurement capability of SAR allows this technology to yield vehicle position fixes in inclement weather and during either night or daytime for image-aided navigation. This work focuses on developing capabilities to match across a large range of variations in the unknown parameters of the homography that brings these image pairs into correspondence. This is a problem that is not well-solved by any existing approaches and is important in practice as cross-domain imagery from aerial platforms often exhibits large variations in scale, keystone, rotation and translation effects that can be different in the x and y axes. Our approach for cross-modal image matching uses a mutual information loss function and applies a massively-parallel search procedure in CUDA to detect and explore the loss function to find satisfactory homographies to match the image pairs. Experiments are performed using simulated image telemetry obtained by flying a fixed wing aircraft in a virtual environment with image data derived from Google Maps and RADARSAT Google Earth Engine image databases. Results show a comparison rate of 12.79 Gpixel/sec and has a search rate of 1.8M matches/sec allowing for exhaustive search solutions. Our approach is found to yield accurate homography values according to our normalized corner error metric for 68% of the image database pairs.

An important challenge for smart grid security is designing a secure and robust smart grid communications architecture to protect against cyber-threats, such as Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, that can adversely impact the operation of the power grid. Researchers have proposed using Software Defined Network frameworks to enhance cybersecurity of the smart grid, but there is a lack of benchmarking and comparative analyses among the many techniques. In this work, a distributed three-controller software-defined networking (D3-SDN) architecture, benchmarking, and comparative analysis with other techniques is presented. The selected distributed flat SDN architecture divides the network horizontally into multiple areas or clusters, where each cluster is handled by a single Open Network Operating System (ONOS) controller. A case study using the IEEE 118-bus system is provided to compare the performance of the presented ONOS-managed D3-SDN, against the POX controller. In addition, the proposed architecture outperforms a single SDN controller framework by a tenfold increase in throughput; a reduction in latency of > 20%; and an increase in throughput of approximately 11% during the DoS attack scenarios.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems emit pulses of (Radio Frequency) RF energy from an antenna into the environment over short intervals in time. Reflected RF energy is received coherently by a receiving antenna and signal processing focusing algorithms process the received signals using one of many potential focusing algorithms to form 2D images of the scene. Formation of these images requires highly accurate knowledge of the antenna state, e.g., the position, orientation and their velocities, when transmitting and receiving RF signals. This information is typically obtained using a combination of a high-quality Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and a highly-accurate Inertial Navigation System (INS). SAR dependence on GPS and INS data prohibit SAR image formation in GPS-denied contexts which limit the application of this technology. This work investigates approaches for focusing SAR images when GPS is unavailable.

Bus-clamping Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is an effective method to reduce the switching loss in a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI). In bus-clamping PWM scheme, the phase legs are switched using high frequency PWM signals for two-third of the line cycle, while for the remaining duration of cycle, the pole voltage is clamped to either positive or negative rail of the DC bus. In PWM operation of a half bridge, a dead-time is applied between the gate signals of complementary switches to ensure safe and reliable operation. However, introduction of dead-time leads to poor power quality, increased Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and variation in actual voltage compared to the intended pole voltage. Moreover, when the bus-clamping technique is used, the PWM has both high frequency switching region and clamped region in a line cycle, and consequently, the undesired effects of dead-time are further aggravated. Therefore, in order to enhance the quality of output voltage, this paper presents a dead-time compensation strategy for a VSI operating with bus-clamping PWM. The proposed method calculates the required compensation term to be added on the modulation signal considering wide range of operating conditions. Additionally, the compensation includes a new strategy for low current conditions near zero-crossing to avoid distortion. The proposed method is verified by simulation and experiments in a three-phase VSI with a switching frequency of 100 kHz and a fundamental frequency of 60Hz.

In this work, a low-complexity hybrid scheme is presented for a wireless network assisted by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), where channel estimation is required for only a subset of the elements. Specifically, in order to reduce the channel training overhead and boost the performance of the RIS-aided network, the RIS is partitioned in two sub-surfaces, which are sequentially activated to assist the communication. The elements of the first sub-surface align their phase shifts, based on the acquired channel state information (CSI) from a channel training period, whereas the elements of the second sub-surface randomly rotate the phase of the incident signals. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated under the effect of imperfect CSI acquisition at the RIS. Analytical expressions for the outage probability are derived and useful insights on the optimal configuration of the RIS are provided. We show that, by optimizing the number of elements that need to be estimated, the proposed scheme provides significant performance gains and overcomes the limitations caused by the imperfect CSI acquisition.

Experimental investigations of spin-charge interconversion in magnetic bilayers comprising a ferromagnet adjacent to a topological insulator have reported scattered results on the spin-charge and charge-spin conversion efficiency. Attempting to reconcile these contradicting experimental results, we develop a phenomenological theory of spin-charge interconversion accounting for both interfacial interconversion through the spin galvanic effect, also called the Rashba-Edelstein effect, as well as bulk interconversion via the spin Hall effect. We find that the spin current leakage into the nonmagnetic metal plays a central role during the spin-to-charge and charge-to-spin conversion, leading to dissymmetric interconversion processes. In particular, spin-to-charge conversion is much less sensitive to the spin current absorption in the nonmagnetic metal than charge-to-spin conversion. This suggests that spin pumping is a more trustable technique to extract the interfacial Rashba parameter than spin-orbit torque.
