Summary: This paper studies the size selection and design of fittings under different voltage levels and different altitudes to eliminate the energy loss and electromagnetic interference caused by corona discharge. By observing the corona discharge phenomena in several extra high voltage AC substations and establishing an electric field calculation model, the distribution of electric field intensity on the surface of different sizes of fittings is determined. Corona onset tests are carried out to verify the applicability of the size selection design of fittings at different altitudes and different voltage levels.

Summary: This paper proposes the algebraic formulation of MIMO hierarchical fuzzy systems (HFSs) and discusses their interpretability. The parallel fuzzy relation matrix (FRM) and factorization are used to partition and construct MIMO HFSs. The algebraic formulations are then used to study the universal approximation and interpretability, resulting in optimal interpretability. The effectiveness of the obtained results is verified in energy control systems of parallel hybrid vehicles.

Summary: This study proposes a multigrid-based algorithm for calculating cohomology in linear time and introducing scalar potential to solve the difficulties in three-dimensional eddy current problems with multiply connected conductive parts. The algorithm outperforms existing methods in terms of generating cohomology and provides highly accurate results. Additionally, the newly proposed formulations, after discretization by the cell method, can be solved through fast iterative solution methods using complex symmetric systems of linear equations, improving computational performance.

Summary: Mathematical optimization techniques play a crucial role in the transition to sustainable energy in power systems. This paper discusses the treatment of the optimal power flow problem using a general polynomial chaos expansion for the current-voltage formulation. By introducing auxiliary variables and quadratic constraints, chance constraints can be more easily handled, resulting in a significant speed-up compared to methods without auxiliary variables.

Summary: By reducing the size of the rotating gantry and using high field superconducting bending magnets, the magnetic field of the scanning magnets needs to be increased. We designed scanning magnets conceptually using HTS coils and Spiral Copper-plated Striated Coated-conductor (SCSC) cable, which has low AC losses and high current capacity. The design involved two-dimensional cross-sectional design of the HTS coils and warm iron yokes through finite element magnetic field analysis. We calculated AC losses in the HTS coils, iron losses in the yokes, electrical power consumption for magnet excitation, liquid nitrogen consumption for cooling the HTS coils, and terminal voltages of the magnets to assess the feasibility of the design.

Summary: We have developed a numerical analysis model to simulate thermal runaway in copper-plated multifilament coated conductors. The model combines a circuit model to calculate current distribution and a heat conduction model to calculate temperature distribution. The simulations of multifilament coated conductors with local defects were compared with experimental results to validate the model and determine the effect of current sharing on the initiation of thermal runaway.

Summary: The additional magnetic fields induced by shielding currents in superconductors, known as shielding-current induced fields (SCIFs), pose a serious problem in magnets using tape-shaped high-temperature superconductor (HTS) wires. These SCIFs can degrade the accuracy and stability of the generated magnetic field. While SCIFs are usually considered negligible in iron-dominated HTS magnets due to the dominance of the poles' shape on the magnetic field distribution, a quantitative estimation is needed to support this assumption. A practical method was developed to estimate and analyze SCIF distributions in iron-dominated HTS magnets, and it was found that the relative error caused by SCIFs is on the order of 10(-4), which is negligible in many magnet applications.

Summary: Differences in self-inductance and mutual inductances in spiral copper-plated striated coated-conductor cables cause non-uniform current distribution among layers, leading to increased ac losses. We developed an electromagnetic field analysis model to evaluate ac losses in these cables under ac magnetic fields, combining a circuit model and a large-scale electromagnetic field analysis model. Each layer of the SCSC cables was modeled as a circuit with resistances and inductances, and we studied the impact of non-uniform current distribution on ac losses.
