Abstract

Low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) forces a grid-following inverter to allocate finite converter current between active- and reactive-current objectives. This paper uses a PSCAD electromagnetic-transient (EMT) representation of an aggregated battery energy storage system (BESS) to quantify how short-circuit ratio (SCR) and grid impedance X/R ratio alter that tradeoff. Active-current priority and reactive-current priority are compared for five paired grid conditions under the same 150-ms balanced three-phase fault, with pre-fault active power approximately 0.84 pu, POI reactive-power exchange near 0 pu, and a 1.0-pu dq-current limit. Fundamental positive-sequence voltage and power are reconstructed from 100-$μ$s three-phase EMT outputs. Across the fixed-fault SCR sweep, the Q-priority late-fault voltage advantage increases from 0.046 pu in the strongest tested grid to 0.129 pu in the weakest; the weakest P-priority case also shows active-power reversal and a pronounced controller-frequency excursion. At fixed SCR, changing X/R produces a smaller increase from 0.092 to 0.112 pu, mainly through reduced P-priority voltage support. Because the common physical fault also deepens the passive retained-voltage condition as SCR decreases, the SCR result is interpreted as a fixed-fault grid-strength sensitivity rather than a constant-sag comparison. Grid strength is the larger sensitivity in the tested matrix, while X/R remains an additional modifier under the studied fault conditions.

Reinforcement Learning based Traffic Signal Control for Queue Minimization: From Lane-based to Laneless Traffic

Efficient traffic signal control (TSC) is essential for reducing congestion and delays. Traditional TSC methods struggle to capture the dynamics of laneless, heterogeneous traffic. We propose a reinforcement learning (RL) based adaptive TSC framework whose reward depends only on approach-level queue length, motivated by the difficulty of obtaining per-vehicle measurements in laneless traffic, and evaluate it using SUMO on a conventional lane-based, homogeneous (LBHO) intersection and on a non-orthogonal laneless, heterogeneous (LLHE) intersection. On the LBHO site, the lowest mean configuration has about 23\% lower mean queue length than a Dynamic Webster baseline, and the unselected Full-State configuration about 15\% lower. On the LLHE site, all RL configurations have 66-73\% lower mean queue length than a Dynamic Webster baseline under nominal demand, and 63--74\% lower under two higher-demand scenarios evaluated without retraining. Our algorithm also outperforms actuated control and a RESCO-DQN baseline on mean queue length. We additionally release a laneless, heterogeneous-vehicle SUMO framework integrated with RL based signal control, to our knowledge the first such open implementation on a current SUMO version.

A Deep State-Space Model Compression Method using Upper Bound on Output Error

We study deep state-space models (Deep SSMs) that contain linear quadratic-output (LQO) systems as internal blocks and present a compression method with a provable output error guarantee. We first derive an upper bound on the output error between two Deep SSMs and show that the bound can be expressed in terms of the $h^2$-error norms between the layerwise LQO systems. In particular, we show that reducing the $h^2$ approximation errors of the LQO systems placed in shallow layers is effective in reducing the derived upper bound on the output error. Next, we formulate an optimization problem for the derived upper bound and develop a gradient-based MOR method. In the numerical experiments, using the IMDb task from the LRA benchmark, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed upper-bound-based compression method. In particular, we show that the number of trainable parameters can be reduced by approximately 60\% without retraining while maintaining the performance of the original model.

Safe Navigation in Cluttered Environments Via Spline-Based Harmonic Potential Fields

We provide a motion-planning framework for target reaching and obstacle avoidance in cluttered environments. Given a polyhedral decomposition of the feasible space, the agent is guided through a prescribed sequence of cells by a suitable control policy. For each cell, we construct a potential induced by a harmonic function on the unit disk whose Dirichlet boundary condition is represented by a cardinal B-spline curve. A detailed analysis of the curve periodicity, support, and control-point selection provides an explicit analytical construction of these potentials and the associated vector fields. We further characterize inter-cell control continuity and forward invariance of non-exit facets, and introduce a smoothed control law ensuring continuous switching between independently constructed neighboring cells. Numerical results illustrate that the resulting framework safely guides the agent along the prescribed cell sequence from the initial point to the target.
