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. …”

Leveraging Deep Learning for Robust Structural Damage Detection and Classification: A Transfer Learning Approach via CNN by Burak Duran, Saeed Eftekhar Azam, Masoud Sanayei

“…Different levels of damage states were introduced at the midspans of these models, and Gaussian-based load time histories were applied at mid-span for dynamic time-history analysis to calculate acceleration data. Then, this acceleration time-history series was transformed into grayscale images, serving as inputs for a Convolutional Neural Network developed to detect and classify structural damage states. …”
