As the utilization of supercapacitors in power system applications continues to increase, it is important to observe their behavior under transient and long-term operations in order to understand their impact on power grids. A real-time reconfigurable hardware testbed (HTB) is a power network emulator that provides flexibility to study various power system scenarios. This paper presents an emulation of a supercapacitor for a photovoltaic (PV) system on the HTB platform such that its dynamic behavior during power system scenarios can be observed. The developed emulator on the HTB is verified by comparing the emulation results with the model developed in MATLAB/Simulink. The experimental results of the emulator are consistent with the simulation results under the grid support scenarios. This supercapacitor emulator can be potentially used for various power system scenarios in addition to the PV applications presented in this paper.

This paper studies a class of strongly monotone games involving non-cooperative agents that optimize their own time-varying cost functions. We assume that the agents can observe other agents' historical actions and choose actions that best respond to other agents' previous actions; we call this a best response scheme. We start by analyzing the convergence rate of this best response scheme for standard time-invariant games. Specifically, we provide a sufficient condition on the strong monotonicity parameter of the time-invariant games under which the proposed best response algorithm achieves exponential convergence to the static Nash equilibrium. We further illustrate that this best response algorithm may oscillate when the proposed sufficient condition fails to hold, which indicates that this condition is tight. Next, we analyze this best response algorithm for time-varying games where the cost functions of each agent change over time. Under similar conditions as for time-invariant games, we show that the proposed best response algorithm stays asymptotically close to the evolving equilibrium. We do so by analyzing both the equilibrium tracking error and the dynamic regret. Numerical experiments on economic market problems are presented to validate our analysis.

A recently proposed fully passive quantum key distribution (QKD) removes all source modulator side channels. In this work, we combine fully passive sources with measurement-device-independent (MDI) QKD to simultaneously remove side channels from source modulators and detectors. We show a numerical simulation of passive MDI QKD, and we obtain an acceptable key rate while achieving much better implementation security, as well as ease of implementation, compared with a recently proposed fully passive twin-field QKD, paving the way towards more secure and practical QKD systems. We prove that a fully passive protocol is compatible with MDI QKD and we propose a novel idea that can improve the sifting efficiency.

This paper proposes a method for designing human-robot collaboration tasks and generating corresponding trajectories. The method uses high-level specifications, expressed as a Signal Temporal Logic (STL) formula, to automatically synthesize task assignments and trajectories. To illustrate the approach, we focus on a specific task: a multi-rotor aerial vehicle performing object handovers in a power line setting. The motion planner considers limitations, such as payload capacity and recharging constraints, while ensuring that the trajectories are feasible. Additionally, the method enables users to specify robot behaviors that take into account human comfort (e.g., ergonomics, preferences) while using high-level goals and constraints. The approach is validated through numerical analyzes in MATLAB and realistic Gazebo simulations using a mock-up scenario.

The article presents a study on classifying wind turbine defects using the SqueezeNet neural network. Wind turbines are critical for renewable energy, but defects such as corrosion, erosion, and cracks can significantly reduce their efficiency. The study proposes using image classification techniques with neural networks, particularly SqueezeNet, to automate defect detection. The compact nature of SqueezeNet makes it suitable for real-time applications with limited computing resources. Through training and testing, the network achieved an accuracy of 89%, demonstrating its potential to improve wind turbine maintenance and reduce operational costs.

This paper presents a state of charge (SOC) management strategy to ensure low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) services of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) with a supercapacitor (SC) energy storage system (PVSS). A concept of SOC reservation for LVRT operations is introduced to guarantee that the PV grid-connected system can provide LVRT services complying with grid code requirements. SOC management is derived by considering SC limitations, the current rating of the converters, and grid conditions. Therefore, safe operation of the power system and PVSS can be achieved. The study also adopts an electrothermal model of the SC to adjust the current set points during SOC management by considering the temperature-dependent SC parameters; thus, both safety and full utilization of the SC can be achieved. Consequently, SOC management can rapidly be accomplished, thereby increasing the certainty of providing LVRT services to the system.
