Optimizing Automatic Voltage Control Collaborative Responses in Chain-Structured Cascade Hydroelectric Power Plants Using Sensitivity Analysis by Li Zhang, Jie Yang, Jun Wang, Lening Wang, Haiming Niu, Xiaobing Liu, Simon X. Yang, Kun Yang

“…Southwestern China has abundant hydropower networks, wherein neighboring cascade hydropower stations within the same river basin are typically connected to the power system in a chain-structured configuration. However, when such chain-structured cascade hydroelectric power plants (CC-HPPs) participate in automatic voltage control (AVC), problems such as reactive power interactions among stations and unreasonable voltage gradients frequently arise. …”

Deep learning of structural morphology imaged by scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy by Aileen Luo, Tao Zhou, Martin V. Holt, Andrej Singer, Mathew J. Cherukara

“…Abstract Scanning X-ray nanodiffraction microscopy is a powerful technique for spatially resolving nanoscale structural morphologies by diffraction contrast. One of the critical challenges in experimental nanodiffraction data analysis is posed by the convergence angle of nanoscale focusing optics which creates simultaneous dependency of the far-field scattering data on three independent components of the local strain tensor—corresponding to dilation and two potential rigid body rotations of the unit cell. …”
