Abstract: For systems subject to unbalanced faults, analytical model building for stability assessment is a challenging task. This application presents a straightforward modeling approach. A generalized dynamic circuit representation is achieved by use of the Laplace transform variables. The voltage and current relationship at the fault location is translated into the relationship of three subsystems. The final circuit model is an interconnected sequence network with impedances in the Laplace domain. This circuit can be directly converted from a steady-state sequence network.

Abstract: In certain examples, methods, apparatuses and semiconductor-related structures are directed to nighttime-like electrical power generation by use of a spectro-angular selective emitter as an optimal radiative cooler and a thermoelectric power generator (TEG) having a hot side and a cold side. The cold side may be coupled to the spectro-angular selective emitter which is directed to or facing an atmosphere characterized by an absence of solar light. Power may be generated via the TEG based on energy directed from the spectro-angular selective emitter and by controlling or limiting ability of the spectro-angular selective emitter to absorb heat power at frequencies and/or angles where emission of the atmosphere is dominant.

Abstract: A system and method for obtaining frequency-domain admittance/impedance using a few sets of time-series data. Utilizing an Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (ERA) or a dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), the input/output frequency-domain model reflecting voltage/current relationship is identified, and admittance/impedance identification is demonstrated for a grid-connected inverter-based resource (IBR) system. The proposed approach provides a powerful tool to replace the state-of-the-art harmonic injection methodology.
