Seamless Integration of Grid-Forming and Grid-Following Capabilities in a Single VSI Within a Unified Hybrid Control Framework Under Islanded Conditions by Iman Lorzadeh, Omid Lorzadeh, Dimitar V. Bozalakov, Luc Dupre, Lieven Vandevelde

“…The control structure requires tuning of only three control parameters (two PR controller parameters and one active damping term), while the other parameters represent physical system values. Under the tested islanded operating conditions, VSIs equipped with the UHC scheme demonstrate the ability to mimic virtual inertia, contributing to voltage and frequency stability during sudden load changes, reference power variations, line outages, and short-circuit fault scenarios with appropriate dynamic and transient responses, addressing the specific challenges of islanded microgrid stability and control. …”

Prediction of mortality and prioritisation to tertiary care using the 'OUR-ARCad' risk score gleaned from the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic-A retrospective cohort study from Sou... by Narendran Gopalan, Vinod Kumar Viswanathan, Vignes Anand Srinivasalu, Saranya Arumugam, Adhin Bhaskar, Tamizhselvan Manoharan, Santosh Kishor Chandrasekar, Divya Bujagaruban, Ramya Arumugham, Gopi Jagadeeswaran, Saravanan Madurai Pandian, Arunalatha Ponniah, Thirumaran Senguttuvan, Ponnuraja Chinnaiyan, Baskaran Dhanraj, Vineet Kumar Chadha, Balaji Purushotham, Manoj Vasanth Murhekar

“…<h4>Methods</h4>De-identified data of COVID-19 confirmed patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital in South India, between April 1, 2021 and July 31, 2021, corresponding to the peak of COVID-19 second wave, were analysed after segregating into 'survivors' or 'non-survivors' to evaluate the risk factors for COVID-19 mortality at admission and formulate a risk score with easily obtainable but clinically relevant parameters for accurate patient triaging. The predictive ability was ascertained by the area under the receiver operator characteristics (AUROC) and the goodness of fit by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and validated using the bootstrap method.…”
