    Introducing the Open Energy Ontology: Enhancing data interpretation and interfacing in energy systems analysis
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2021) Booshehri, Meisam; Emele, Lukas; Flügel, Simon; Förster, Hannah; Frey, Johannes; Frey, Ulrich; Glauer, Martin; Hastings, Janna; Hofmann, Christian; Hoyer-Klick, Carsten; Hülk, Ludwig; Kleinau, Anna; Knosala, Kevin; Kotzur, Leander; Kuckertz, Patrick; Mossakowski, Till; Muschner, Christoph; Neuhaus, Fabian; Pehl, Michaja; Robinius, Martin; Sehn, Vera; Stappel, Mirjam
    Heterogeneous data, different definitions and incompatible models are a huge problem in many domains, with no exception for the field of energy systems analysis. Hence, it is hard to re-use results, compare model results or couple models at all. Ontologies provide a precisely defined vocabulary to build a common and shared conceptualisation of the energy domain. Here, we present the Open Energy Ontology (OEO) developed for the domain of energy systems analysis. Using the OEO provides several benefits for the community. First, it enables consistent annotation of large amounts of data from various research projects. One example is the Open Energy Platform (OEP). Adding such annotations makes data semantically searchable, exchangeable, re-usable and interoperable. Second, computational model coupling becomes much easier. The advantages of using an ontology such as the OEO are demonstrated with three use cases: data representation, data annotation and interface homogenisation. We also describe how the ontology can be used for linked open data (LOD).

    Fast-Slow-Scale Interaction Induced Parallel Resonance and its Suppression in Voltage Source Converters
    (New York, NY : IEEE, 2021) Ma, Rui; Qiu, Qi; Kurths, Jürgen; Zhan, Meng
    Multi-timescale interaction of power electronics devices, including voltage source converter (VSC), has made the stability and analysis of high penetrating renewable power systems very complicated. In this paper, the impedance model is used to analyze the multi-timescale characteristics and interaction of the VSC. Firstly, the multi-timescale impedance characteristics of VSC are investigated based on the Bode plots. It is found that the slow-timescale (within the DC-link voltage control scale) and fast-timescale (within the AC current control scale) models are separately consistent with the full-order model perfectly within their low- and high-frequency ranges. In addition, there exists a high impedance peak within the intermediate frequency range (roughly from 10 Hz to 100 Hz). Then, the impedance peak is theoretically estimated and explained by the slow-fast-scale impedance parallel resonance through transfer-function diagram analysis. Moreover, it is found that the impedance peak is more related to some outer controllers, such as the alternative voltage control and active power control. Specifically, larger proportional coefficients can greatly suppress the resonance peak. Finally, simulations and experiments are conducted to verify the generality of the multi-timescale characteristics and interaction of the VSC. Hence these findings are not only significant to provide a physical insight into the inner key structure of the impedance of VSC, but also expected to be helpful for controller and parameter design of the VSC.

    Master Memory Function for Delay-Based Reservoir Computers With Single-Variable Dynamics
    ([New York, NY] : IEEE, 2022) Köster, Felix; Yanchuk, Serhiy; Lüdge, Kathy
    We show that many delay-based reservoir computers considered in the literature can be characterized by a universal master memory function (MMF). Once computed for two independent parameters, this function provides linear memory capacity for any delay-based single-variable reservoir with small inputs. Moreover, we propose an analytical description of the MMF that enables its efficient and fast computation. Our approach can be applied not only to single-variable delay-based reservoirs governed by known dynamical rules, such as the Mackey–Glass or Stuart–Landau-like systems, but also to reservoirs whose dynamical model is not available.

    IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Recent Advances on Hybrid Complex Networks: Analysis and Control
    (New York, NY : IEEE, 2021) Lu, Jianquan; Ho, Daniel W. C.; Huang, Tingwen; Kurths, Jurgen; Trajkovic, Ljiljana
    Complex networks typically involve multiple disciplines due to network dynamics and their statistical nature. When modeling practical networks, both impulsive effects and logical dynamics have recently attracted increasing attention. Hence, it is of interest and importance to consider hybrid complex networks with impulsive effects and logical dynamics. Relevant research is prevalent in cells, ecology, social systems, and communication engineering. In hybrid complex networks, numerous nodes are coupled through networks and their properties usually lead to complex dynamic behaviors, including discrete and continuous dynamics with finite values of time and state space. Generally, continuous and discrete sections of the systems are described by differential and difference equations, respectively. Logical networks are used to model the systems where time and state space take finite values. Although interesting results have been reported regarding hybrid complex networks, the analysis methods and relevant results could be further improved with respect to conservative impulsive delay inequalities and reproducibility of corresponding stability or synchronization criteria. Therefore, it is necessary to devise effective approaches to improve the analysis method and results dealing with hybrid complex networks.

    How Price-Based Frequency Regulation Impacts Stability in Power Grids: A Complex Network Perspective
    (London : Hindawi, 2020) Ji, Peng; Zhu, Lipeng; Lu, Chao; Lin, Wei; Kurths, Jürgen
    With the deregulation of modern power grids, electricity markets are playing a more and more important role in power grid operation and control. However, it is still questionable how the real-time electricity price-based operation affects power grid stability. From a complex network perspective, here we investigate the dynamical interactions between price-based frequency regulations and physical networks, which results in an interesting finding that a local minimum of network stability occurs when the response strength of generators/consumers to the varying price increases. A case study of the real world-based China Southern Power Grid demonstrates the finding and exhibits a feasible approach to network stability enhancement in smart grids. This also provides guidance for potential upgrade and expansion of the current power grids in a cleaner and safer way. © 2020 Peng Ji et al.

    Fixed-Time Connectivity Preserving Tracking Consensus of Multiagent Systems with Disturbances
    (London : Hindawi, 2020) Sun, Fenglan; Liu, Peiyong; Kurths, Jürgen; Zhu, Wei
    This text studies the fixed-time tracking consensus for nonlinear multiagent systems with disturbances. To make the fixed-time tracking consensus, the distributed control protocol based on the integral sliding mode control is proposed; meanwhile, the adjacent followers can be maintained in a limited sensing range. By using the nonsmooth analysis method, sufficient conditions for the fixed-time consensus together with the upper and lower bounds of convergence time are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the potential correctness of the main results. © 2020 Fenglan Sun et al.
