This paper aims to explore the significance of accurately defining the geometry of needle electrodes in gas discharge plasma finite-element simulations and evaluate the sensitivity and responsiveness of simulation outputs to different needle electrode shapes. Using a hydrodynamic (drift-diffusion) model and COMSOL Multiphysics software, a comprehensive numerical analysis is performed to investigate the influence of six needle geometries (hyperbolic, elliptic, and circle-with-tangents) with an equal radius of curvature on negative air discharge plasma characteristics. The study aims to establish a comparative understanding of how the defined geometries relate to the behavior of the discharge plasma. Various aspects, including the properties of Trichel pulses, the spatiotemporal evolution of charged species, and the electrical field distribution, are explored.

This paper presents a 17-bus 500 kV test system for transmission expansion planning (TEP) studies. An actual 500 kV transmission line geometry was used for the overhead lines of this system. Although many test systems have been introduced for different types of power system analysis, those especially for TEP studies at a transmission voltage level, not distribution voltage level, are few. To the best of our knowledge, the introduced test systems for TEP studies, either those combined with electricity market problems or those used to connect a new load or generation to an existing power grid, consider the studies under only normal condition. However, for TEP studies it is needed that a test system meets voltage drop and line loading limits criteria under normal condition as well as all single contingencies, and in this regard, addressing the latter, all single contingencies, is challenging. This paper addresses this technical gap, introducing a 17-bus test system at a transmission voltage level, 500 kV, that meets requirements under normal condition as well as all single contingencies. In addition to presenting all details of this new test system, load flow results under normal condition as well as the worst single contigency are presented. For studies on the TEP, this test system can be an invaluable resource.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of positive streamers in a liquid-solid composite dielectric system, specifically in the context of wet-mate DC connectors. The study focuses on the influence of different materials and relative permittivity values of the solid dielectric on streamer behavior. The study employs a non-dimensionalized electric field-dependent molecular ionization streamer model to describe the initiation and propagation of streamers within a needle-sphere electrode system. A 2D-axisymmetric COMSOL model is utilized, where a solid tube-like dielectric is placed near the needle tip in an electrode system filled with transformer oil. The effects of varying relative permittivity values on the electric field distribution, streamer propagation velocity, ionization and attachment rates, and spatiotemporal evolution of charged species (electrons, positive ions, and negative ions) are studied. By analyzing these aspects, the paper aims to enhance the understanding of streamer dynamics and provide valuable information for optimizing the design and performance of equipment utilizing liquid-solid composite dielectric systems.

Low-resolution images inherently contain less information, making effective feature extraction more challenging and posing difficulties for training neural networks. However, if neural networks can be trained successfully on low-resolution images, this could significantly reduce memory storage requirements and computational costs. In this study, we address the limitations of low-resolution brain MRI images by enhancing the available information through wavelet transform techniques. Specifically, we leverage the high-frequency coefficients obtained from wavelet transforms and the Hurst exponent to improve feature representation and optimize model training for convolutional neural networks (CNN), which is referred to as the wavelet CNN (WCNN). We demonstrate that WCNN outperforms standard CNNs in multi-class classification tasks, distinguishing among four categories of brain MRI images such as normal, glioma, meningioma, and pituitary tumor images. This approach highlights the potential to achieve high classification accuracy even with low-resolution data, ultimately reducing the memory and computational resources required for data processing and model training.

The electric field intensity on subconductors is the most important parameter to consider when electrically designing (extra) high voltage, (E)HV, transmission lines. In this regard, it is not possible to use existing formulae for calculating electric field intensity on subconductors, which are for subconductors placed symmetrically on bundle circles, for recently introduced unconventional high power density lines where subconductors can be located in unsymmetrical or at any location in the space. Further, in existing formulas, nearby (other phases) and image conductors are ignored, and a uniform field is assumed despite the fact that electric fields are distorted in the presence of other subconductors in a bundle. None of the mentioned assumptions are valid for unconventional high power density lines, so it is necessary to develop an innovative method for calculating electric field on subconductors on these new lines. In our method, $n_{m}$ line charges for each subconductor are employed to set the electric potentials of $n_{m}$ points at the periphery of that subconductor equal to the applied voltage. The line charges are uniformly distributed around a hypothetical cylinder with a radius of $r/2$ , where $r$ is the radius of that subconductor. The challenge is choosing a proper $n_{m}$ , leading to an accurate result.

Transmission expansion planning (TEP) is crucial for maintaining the reliable and efficient operation of the power systems, particularly in the face of increasing electricity demand and the integration of renewable energy sources. This paper aims to investigate the application of unconventional high surge impedance loading (HSIL) lines in TEP and presents a comparative analysis of their outcomes against conventional line-based TEP approaches. Starting with a 17-bus 500 kV test system, which can operate well under normal operating condition as well as all single contingency conditions, the objective is to connect a new load located in a new bus, bus #18, to the existing test system via two approaches: using conventional lines and incorporating unconventional HSIL lines. By comparing the number of lines required for the conventional and unconventional approaches, maintaining identical conductor weight per circuit, the effectiveness of unconventional HSIL lines in TEP is evaluated where using only two unconventional HSIL lines is sufficient to connect 1250 MW load demand at bus 18 while three transmission lines are required when using the conventional line. Finally, a thorough economic analysis has been conducted on both TEP scenarios, revealing that implementing unconventional HSIL lines leads to remarkable cost savings and thus can be considered a promising option for TEP studies.

Among various sensors for assisted and autonomous driving systems, automotive radar has been considered as a robust and low-cost solution even in adverse weather or lighting conditions. With the recent development of radar technologies and open-sourced annotated data sets, semantic segmentation with radar signals has become very promising. However, existing methods are either computationally expensive or discard significant amounts of valuable information from raw 3D radar signals by reducing them to 2D planes via averaging. In this work, we introduce ERASE-Net, an Efficient RAdar SEgmentation Network to segment the raw radar signals semantically. The core of our approach is the novel detect-then-segment method for raw radar signals. It first detects the center point of each object, then extracts a compact radar signal representation, and finally performs semantic segmentation. We show that our method can achieve superior performance on radar semantic segmentation task compared to the state-of-the-art (SOTA) technique. Furthermore, our approach requires up to 20×less computational resources. Finally, we show that the proposed ERASE-Net can be compressed by 40% without significant loss in performance, significantly more than the SOTA network, which makes it a more promising candidate for practical automotive applications.
