Title: Invertibility Conditions for the Admittance Matrices of Balanced Power Systems
The admittance matrix encodes the network topology and electrical parameters of a power system in order to relate the current injection and voltage phasors. Since admittance matrices are central to many power engineering analyses, their characteristics are important subjects of theoretical studies. This paper focuses on the key characteristic of invertibility. Previous literature has presented an invertibility condition for admittance matrices. This paper first identifies and fixes a technical issue in the proof of this previously presented invertibility condition. This paper then extends this previous work by deriving new conditions that are applicable to a broader class of systems with lossless branches and transformers with off-nominal tap ratios.  more » « less

  1. In this paper we show the invertibility of the geodesic X-ray transform on one forms and 2-tensors on asymptotically conic manifolds, up to the natural obstruction, allowing existence of certain kinds of conjugate points. We use the 1-cusp pseudodifferential operator algebra and its semiclassical foliation version introduced and used by Vasy and Zachos, who showed the same type invertibility on functions. The complication of the invertibility of the tensorial X-ray transform, compared with X-ray transform on functions, is caused by the natural kernel of the transform consisting of ‘potential tensors’. We overcome this by arranging a modified solenoidal gauge condition, under which we have the invertibility of the X-ray transform.

  2. In this paper, we demonstrate methods to extract dq admittance for a solar photovoltaic (PV) farm from its black-box model used for electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation. Each dq admittance corresponds to a certain operating condition. Based on the dq admittance, analysis is carried out to evaluate how grid strength and solar irradiance may influence stability. Two types of stability analysis methods (open-loop system based and closed-loop system based) are examined and both can deal with dq admittance's frequency-domain measurements directly and produce graphics for stability analysis. The findings based on dq admittance-based analysis are shown to corroborate EMT simulation results.

    We prove the correctness of invertibility conditions for the theory of fixed-width bit-vectors—used to solve quantified bit-vector formulas in the Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solver cvc5— in the Coq proof assistant. Previous work proved many of these in a completely automatic fashion for arbitrary bit-width; however, some were only proved for bit-widths up to 65, even though they are being used to solve formulas over larger bit-widths. In this paper we describe the process of proving a representative subset of these invertibility conditions in Coq. In particular, we describe the BVList library for bit-vectors in Coq, our extensions to it, and proofs of the invertibility conditions.

  4. In this paper we explore the problem of series arc fault detection and localization on dc microgrids. Through a statistical model of the microgrid obtained by nodal equation, the injection currents are modeled as a random vector whose distribution depends on the nodal voltages and the admittance matrix. A series arc fault causes a change in the admittance matrix, which further leads to a change in the data generating distribution of injection currents. The goal is to detect and localize faults on different lines in a timely fashion subject to false alarm constraints. The model is formulated as a quickest change detection problem, and the classical Cumulative Sum algorithm (CUSUM) is employed. The proposed framework is tested on a dc microgrid with active (constant power) loads. Furthermore, a case considering fault detection in the presence of an internal node is presented. Finally, we present an experimental result on a four node dc microgrid to verify the practical application of our approach.

  5. In this paper, we report on the electrical impedance measurement of human endothelial cellular networks and show the existence of emergent power law behavior in its admittance. In particular, we find that the admittance scales with the frequency ω as ωα, with the exponent that varies with the degree of the disruption caused by the inflammation in the endothelial cellular network. We demonstrate that the power law of the measured electrical admittance can be understood by a simple percolation model of a large R–C (resistor–capacitor) network, which allows us to relate quantitatively and the intensity of inflammation. Our results suggest that the electrical properties of heterogeneous biomaterials, like living tissues, behave as a complex microstructural network.
