MIMO Control Architectures for Secondary Voltage Regulation in Electrically Coupled Transmission Grids: Design and Dynamic Performance by Andrea Vicenzutti, Fabio Marzolla, Massimiliano Chiandone, Salvatore Tessitore, Cosimo Pisani, Giorgio M. Giannuzzi, Giorgio Sulligoi

“…Moreover, limitations due to technology obsolescence of the existing architecture and the greatly increased capabilities of modern Phase Measurement Units (PMU) contribute to requiring a revision of the voltage control architecture, which should also provide robustness to parameter variation and be adaptive in nature. To this end, in this work the applicability of different multiple input multiple output control methods to the transmission system secondary voltage regulation is investigated. …”

Gas Generation in Lithium-Ion Batteries: Mechanisms, Failure Pathways, and Thermal Safety Implications by Tianyu Gong, Xuzhi Duan, Yan Shan, Lang Huang

“…Distinct from prior modular analyses, we emphasize that: (1) emerging systems exhibit fundamentally different gas evolution thermodynamics compared to conventional materials, exemplified by sulfide solid electrolytes releasing H₂S/SO₂ via unique anionic redox pathways; (2) gas crosstalk between components creates compounding risks—retained gases induce electrolyte dry-out and ion transport barriers during cycling, while combustible gas–O₂ mixtures accelerate thermal runaway through chain reactions. …”
