Abstract

Modeling of multiple-scattering channels in atmospheric turbulence is essential for the performance analysis of long-distance non-line-of-sight (NLOS) ultraviolet (UV) communications. Existing works on the turbulent channel modeling for NLOS UV communications either focused on single-scattering cases or estimate the turbulent fluctuation effect in an unreliable way based on Monte-Carlo simulation (MCS) approach. In this paper, we establish a comprehensive turbulent multiple-scattering channel model by using a more efficient Monte-Carlo integration (MCI) approach for NLOS UV communications, where both the scattering, absorption, and turbulence effects are considered. Compared with the MCS approach, the MCI approach is more interpretable for estimating the turbulent fluctuation. To achieve this, we first introduce the scattering, absorption, and turbulence effects for NLOS UV communications in turbulent channels. Then we propose the estimation methods based on MCI approach for estimating both the turbulent fluctuation and the distribution of turbulent fading coefficient. Numerical results demonstrate that the turbulence-induced scattering effect can always be ignored for typical UV communication scenarios. Besides, the turbulent fluctuation will increase as either the communication distance increases or the zenith angle decreases, which is compatible with existing experimental results and also with our experimental results. Moreover, we demonstrate numerically that the distribution of the turbulent fading coefficient for UV multiple-scattering channels under all turbulent conditions can be approximated as log-normal distribution; and we also demonstrate both numerically and experimentally that the turbulent fading can be approximated as a Gaussian distribution under weak turbulence.

Observability and parameter estimation of a generic model for aggregated distributed energy resources

We propose a novel framework for estimating the parameters of an aggregated distributed energy resources (DER A) model. First, we introduce a rigorous method to determine whether all model parameters are estimable. When they are not, our approach identifies the subset of parameters that can be estimated. The proposed framework offers new insights into the number and specific parameters that can be reliably estimated based on commonly available measurements. It also highlights the limitations of calibrating such models. Second, we introduce a Kalman filtering method to calibrate the DER A model. Since we account for nonlinear effects such as saturation and deadbands, we develop a specific mechanism to handle smoothing functions within the Kalman filter. Specifically, we consider the extended and the unscented Kalman filter. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on a modified IEEE 34-node distribution feeder with inverter- based resources. Our findings align with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation's parameterization guideline and underscore the importance of model calibration in accurately capturing the collective dynamics of distributed energy resources installed on distribution systems.

Salted Fisher Information for Hybrid Systems

Discrete events change how parameter-influence propagates in hybrid systems. Prevailing Fisher information for- mulations assume that sensitivities evolve smoothly according to continuous-time variational equations and therefore neglect the sensitivity updates induced by discrete events. This paper derives a Fisher information matrix formulation compatible with hybrid systems. To do so, we use the saltation matrix, which encodes the first-order transformation of sensitivities induced by discrete events. We call the resulting formulation the salted Fisher information matrix (SFIM). The proposed framework unifies continuous information accumulation during flows with discrete updates at event times. We also show that hybrid persistence of excitation is sufficient for the SFIM to be positive definite

Min-Max Grassmannian Optimization for Online Subspace Tracking

We propose GeRoST (Geometrically Robust Subspace Tracking), an online subspace tracking algorithm that models uncertainty in a subspace using a Grassmannian ball. We derive an exact scalar dual for the worst-case subspace problem, establish conditions for a unique worst-case subspace and a Riemannian gradient, and characterize the minimum radius needed to cover a dimensional extension of the target subspace. Each update uses either a spectral direction computed in a reduced subspace or the gradient of the window reconstruction loss. Our numerical experiments show that GeRoST achieves lower mean post-fault prediction error than GREAT in system identification. In video separation, it achieves higher precision and a better precision--recall balance, as measured by the F$_1$ score, than both GREAT and GRASTA at the reported thresholds, with lower recall and longer runtime.
