A power grid partitioning method based on complex network coupling matrices by XIONG Jun, TANG Fan, CHEN Zeming, WANG Yimiao, MEI Tao

“…First， a complex network coupling matrix is constructed using grid power flow and reactive power-voltage sensitivity to represent active operation and voltage control features for dual-weight quantification of active and reactive power. Next， quality evaluation metrics for grid partitioning are developed to quantify partition structure strength， source-load matching， and voltage regulation effects， forming a structural and functional evaluation framework for grid partitioning. …”

Characteristics of Interference Fluctuation of Different Types of Stray Currents on Pipelines by XU Chengwei, CHEN Ruirui, ZHANG Rong, XIA Liang, LAN Wei, BI Wuxi

“…AC/DC stray current interference corrosion has become one of the main causes of pipeline failure and damage， which seriously threatens the safety of pipeline operation.In order to understand the characteristics of different AC-DC stray current interference sources and their influence on the cathodic protection parameters of pipelines， the coupon method was used to monitor the interference sources of different types in a gas pipeline for a long time.Based on the test results， the typical interference characteristics of 7 types of interference types， including AC and DC static interference， dynamic interference and statically dynamic complex interference， were analyzed and summarized.Meanwhile， for complex AC and DC mixed interference， the corresponding evaluation indexes， threshold ranges， criteria and recommended methods were proposed for personal safety， AC and DC mixed interference and valve chamber insulation facilities.The research results provide a basis for pipeline operators to quickly identify the types of stray current interference sources， formulate corresponding protective measures， and reduce the risk of pipeline corrosion caused by complex stray current interference.…”

Texture-preserving and information loss minimization method for infrared and visible image fusion by Qiyuan He, Yongdong Huang

“…To address these challenges, we propose TPFusion, a texture-preserving and information loss minimization method for infrared and visible image fusion. TPFusion consists of the following key components: a multi-scale feature extraction module for enhancing the capability of capturing features; a texture enhancement module and contrast enhancement module, which helps to preserve fine-grained textures and extract salient contours and contrast information; a dual-attention fusion module for fusing the features extracted from the source images; an information content based loss function minimizing the feature discrepancy between the fused images and the source images and effectively reducing the information loss. …”
