This paper analyzes the transient voltage stability of the dual-source DC power system. The system’s equivalent model is first established. Subsequently, the effect mechanisms of line parameters and voltage-source rectifiers’ current control inner loops on the system’s transient voltage instability are investigated. It indicates that these factors reduce the power supply capacity of the source, increasing the risk of transient instability in the system. Then, considering the influence of fault depths, the influence of different large disturbances on the transient voltage stability is investigated. Furthermore, the critical cutting voltage and critical cutting time for DC power systems are determined and then validated on the MATLAB R2023b/Simulink platform. Finally, based on the mixed potential function theory, the impact of system parameter variations on stability boundaries is analyzed quantitatively. Simulation verification is conducted on the MATLAB R2023b/Simulink platform, and experimental verification is conducted on the RT-LAB Hardware-in-the-Loop platform. The results of the quantitative analysis and experiments corroborate the conclusions drawn from the mechanistic analysis, underscoring the critical role of line parameters and converter control parameters in the system’s transient voltage stability.

The transient responses of distributed energy resources (DERs) in a microgrid are dynamically correlated in spatial and temporal dimensions. Hence, the transient stability prediction in microgrids would require an effective modeling of time-varying correlations and the mining of spatial–temporal features of electrical data. This paper proposes a refined DER-level transient stability prediction method for microgrids considering the time-varying spatial–temporal correlations of DERs. First, the spatial–temporal dynamic correlation of DERs was extracted and modeled by an attention-based mechanism. Then, a spatial–temporal graph convolution network was proposed to predict the dynamics of unstable DERs and the instability severity trend in a microgrid. The TSP model consisted of three parts: (1) several stacked spatial–temporal convolution modules to simultaneously mine the spatial–temporal dynamic features of microgrids, (2) an unstable DER identification module to predict the microgrid system stability and identify unstable DERs, and (3) an instability severity trend prediction module for DERs in a microgrid. The test results on a realistic 16-bus 10-DER microgrid demonstrated that the proposed prediction method possessed the desirable reliability and interpretability and outperformed the state-of-the-art baselines in unstable DER identifications and DER instability severity trend predictions.

Conventional power management methods of networked microgrids (NMGs) are limited to the failure of pinned communication terminals and heavy communication burdens. This paper proposes a multilevel dynamic master-slave control strategy via two-level dynamic leaders to realize the resilience enhanced power management of NMGs. The first level dynamic leader with considerations of distributed energy resources (DERs) feature is selected to guide the output of DERs and achieve the power management within individual microgrid (MG). Subsequently, the secondary level leader considering each MG feature is selected among the bidirectional interlinking converters (BICs), whose signals would be shared with other BICs by communication to achieve power management among MGs. Moreover, the local weight selecting method (LWSM) is proposed to automatically select the two-level dynamic leaders according to the real-time system operation state. Compared with conventional methods, the communication among MGs is essentially realized through the dynamic DER leaders instead of pinned ones. Therefore, unreliability issues in the event of pinned terminal outage and converters’ communication failure can be fully addressed and the communication bus within each only needs to transmit one DER’s signals. The proposed strategy can be also extended to NMGs with various topologies and provide the “plug and play” capabilities of DERs or MGs. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy are verified through the PSCAD/EMTDC platform.

Accurate and efficient modeling and simulation of spacecraft electrical systems are crucial because of their complexity. However, existing models often struggle to balance simulation efficiency and accuracy. This paper introduces a model reduction method based on singular perturbation theory to simplify the full-order model of spacecraft electrical systems. The experimental results show that the reduced-order simplified model saves 50% of the simulation time with almost no degradation in the simulation accuracy and can be applied to real-world scenarios, such as digital twins. This method offers a new approach for rapid simulation of spacecraft electrical systems and has broad application prospects.

Genetic dissection kernel weight-related traits is of great significance for improving wheat yield potential. As one of the three major yield components of wheat, thousand kernel weight (TKW) was mainly affected by grain length (GL) and grain width (GW). To uncover the key loci for these traits, we carried out a quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of an F6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) population derived from a cross of Henong 5290 (small grain) and 06Dn23 (big grain) with a 50 K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. A total of 17 stable and big effect QTL, including 5 for TKW, 8 for GL and 4 for GW, were detected on the chromosomes 1B, 2A, 2B, 2D, 4B, 5A, 6A and 6D, respectively. Among these, there were two co-located loci for three traits that were mapped on the chromosome 4BS and 6AL. The QTL on 6AL was the most stable locus and explained 15.4–24.8%, 4.1–8.8% and 15.7–24.4% of TKW, GW and GL variance, respectively. In addition, two more major QTL of GL were located on chromosome arm 2BL and 2DL, accounting for 9.7–17.8% and 13.6–19.8% of phenotypic variance, respectively. In this study, we found one novel co-located QTL associated with GL and TKW in 2DL, QGl.haaf-2DL.2/QTkw.haaf-2DL.2, which could explain 13.6–19.8% and 9.8–10.7% phenotypic variance, respectively. Genetic regions and linked markers of these stable QTL will help to further refine mapping of the corresponding loci and marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding for wheat grain yield potential improvement.
