文摘This paper investigates the detection and mitigation of coordinated cyberattacks on Load Frequency Control(LFC)systems integrated with Battery Energy Storage Systems(BESS).As renewable energy sources gain greater penetration,power grids are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats,potentially leading to frequency instability and widespread disruptions.We model two significant attack vectors:load-altering attacks(LAAs)and false data injection attacks(FDIAs)that corrupt frequency measurements.These are analyzed for their impact on grid frequency stability in both linear and nonlinear LFC models,incorporating generation rate constraints and nonlinear loads.A coordinated attack strategy is presented,combining LAAs and FDIAs to achieve stealthiness by concealing frequency deviations from system operators,thereby maximizing disruption while evading traditional detection.To counteract these threats,we propose an Unknown Input Observer(UIO)-based detection framework for linear and nonlinear LFCs.The UIO is designed using linear matrix inequalities(LMIs)to estimate system states while isolating unknown attack inputs,enabling attack detection through monitoring measurement residuals against a predefined threshold.For mitigation,we leverage BESS capabilities with two adaptive strategies:dynamic mitigation for dynamic LAAs,which tunes BESS parameters to enhance the system’s stability margin and accelerate convergence to equilibrium;and staticmitigation for static LAAs and FDIAs.Simulations show that the UIO achieves high detection accuracy,with residuals exceeding thresholds promptly under coordinated attacks,even in nonlinear models.Mitigation strategies reduce frequency deviations by up to 80%compared to unmitigated cases,restoring stability within seconds.

文摘Soil greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions contribute profoundly to global warming;however,how plant detritus input alters GHG emissions is poorly understood.Here,we used detritus input and removal treatments(i.e.,DIRT:control,CK;double litter,DL;no roots with double litter,NRDL;no litter,NL;no roots,NR;no roots and no litter,NRNL)to assess the effects of litter and root inputs on soil CO_(2),CH_(4),and N_(2)O fluxes in soils in a coniferous(Pinus yunnanensis)and a broad-leaf forest(Quercus pannosa)in a subalpine region in southwestern China.Litter addition increased CO_(2) emissions on average 22.22%,but did not significantly alter CH_(4) uptake and N_(2)O emission compared to the CK.Litter removal(NL and NRNL)significantly reduced CO_(2) emissions on average 30.22%and N_(2)O emissions on average 31.16%from both forest soils,but did not significantly affect soil CH_(4) uptake.Root removal(NR and NRNL)generally decreased these three soil GHG fluxes.Changes inβ-1,4-glucosidase(BG)involved in C and phospholipid fatty acid(PLFAs)biomass were projected to influence CO_(2) emissions,while soil microclimates(temperature and moisture)combined with BG activity mainly regulated CH_(4) uptake.Alterations in dissolved organic nitrogen,microbial biomass nitrogen and BG were mainly responsible for changes in N_(2)O emissions.Interestingly,coniferous forest soil seemed to promote CH_(4) uptake more than the broad-leaf forest soil,but CO_(2) and N_(2)O fluxes were not significantly affected by the forest types.As expected,litter addition significantly increased the warming potential,while litter removal relatively lowered it.These findings revealed the divergent roles of plant detritus input and forest type in shaping soil GHG fluxes,thereby providing insights into forest management and predicting contributions of subalpine forests to global warming.

文摘Coordinating light and nitrogen(N)distribution within a canopy is essential for improving rice yield and resource use efficiency.However,limited research has examined light and N distribution in response to planting density and N rate,and their relationships with grain yield,radiation use efficiency(RUE),and N use efficiency for grain production(NUEg)in rice.A two-year field experiment was conducted with two hybrid varieties under three N levels,0 kg ha^(-1)(N1),90 kg ha^(-1)(N2)and 180 kg ha^(-1)(N3),and two planting densities,22.2 hills m-2(D1)and 33.3 hills m^(-2)(D2).Results showed 3.4%higher yield and 4.4%higher NUEg under N2D2 compared with N3D1.The extinction coefficient for N(K_(N))and light(K_(L))and their ratio(K_(N)/K_(L))at heading stage were significantly influenced by N rate,planting density,and their interaction.K_(N)decreased with the increase of N input or planting density.Compared to N1,K_(N)decreased by 43.5 and 58.8%under N2 and N3,respectively,while K_(N)under D2 decreased by 16.0%compared to D1.Higher K_(L)and K_(N)/K_(L)values occurred under low N rates,with opposite trends under high N rates.Increased planting density led to decreased K_(L)and K_(N)/K_(L)values.N2D2 demonstrated higher K_(L)and K_(N),and thus comparable K_(N)/K_(L),compared to N3D1.Correlation analysis revealed K_(L)negatively correlated with RUE,while K_(N)and K_(N)/K_(L)positively correlated with NUEg.These findings indicate that increasing planting density under reduced N input could maintain rice yield while enhancing resource use efficiency through regulation of canopy light and N distribution.

文摘This paper is concerned with event-triggered control of discrete-time systems with or without input saturation.First,an accumulative-error-based event-triggered scheme is devised for control updates.When the accumulated error between the current state and the latest control update exceeds a certain threshold,an event is triggered.Such a scheme can ensure the event-generator works at a relatively low rate rather than falls into hibernation especially after the system steps into its steady state.Second,the looped functional method for continuous-time systems is extended to discrete-time systems.By introducing an innovative looped functional that links the event-triggered scheme,some sufficient conditions for the co-design of control gain and event-triggered parameters are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities with a couple of tuning parameters.Then,the proposed method is applied to discrete-time systems with input saturation.As a result,both suitable control gains and event-triggered parameters are also co-designed to ensure the system trajectories converge to the region of attraction.Finally,an unstable reactor system and an inverted pendulum system are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘The effect of high welding heat inputs in the range of 50–200 kJ/cm on the microstructural evolution,MX(M=Ti,Nb and V;X=N and C)precipitation and mechanical properties was investigated in the coarse-grained heat-affected zone(CGHAZ)of a high-Nb(0.10 wt.%)structural steel.The results showed that the primary microconstituents varied from lath bainite(LB)to intragranular acicular ferrite(IAF)+intragranular polygonal ferrite(IPF),and the most content of IAF was acquired at 100 kJ/cm.Moreover,the submicron Ti-and Nb-rich MX precipitates not only pinned prior austenite grain boundaries but also facilitated IAF and IPF nucleation with the Kurdjumov–Sachs orientation relationship of[011]_(MX)//[111]_(Ferrite);the nanoscale V-rich MX precipitates hindered dislocation movement and followed the Baker–Nutting orientation relationship of[001]_(MX)//[001]_(Ferrite)with ferrite matrix,synergistically strengthening and toughening the CGHAZ.In addition,the−20℃impact absorbed energy firstly elevated from 93±5.2 J at 50 kJ/cm to 131±5.4 J at 100 kJ/cm and finally decreased to 59±3.0 J at 200 kJ/cm,being related to the IAF content,while the microhardness decreased from 312±26.1 to 269±12.9 HV0.1,because of the coarsened microstructure and the decreased content of LB and martensite.Compared to the CGHAZ properties with 0.05 wt.%Nb,a higher Nb content produced better low-temperature toughness,as more solid dissolved Nb atoms and precipitated Nb-rich MX particles in austenite limited prior austenite grain growth and promoted IAF formation.Furthermore,the welding process at 100 kJ/cm was most applicable for the high-Nb steel.

文摘This paper addresses the lane-keeping control problem for autonomous ground vehicles subject to input saturation and uncertain system parameters.An enhanced adaptive terminal sliding mode based prescribed performance control scheme is proposed,which enables the lateral position error of the vehicle to be kept within the prescribed performance boundaries all the time.This is achieved by firstly introducing an improved performance function into the controller design such that the stringent initial condition requirements can be relaxed,which further allows the global prescribed performance control result,and then,developing a multivariable adaptive terminal sliding mode based controller such that both input saturation and parameter uncertainties are handled effectively,which further ensures the robust lane-keeping control.Finally,the proposed control strategy is validated through numerical simulations,demonstrating its effectiveness.

文摘Fertilization or atmospheric deposition of nitrogen(N)and phosphorus(P)to terrestrial ecosystems can alter soil N(P)availability and the nature of nutrient limitation for plant growth.Changing the allocation of leaf P fractions is potentially an adaptive strategy for plants to cope with soil N(P)availability and nutrient-limiting conditions.However,the impact of the interactions between imbalanced anthropogenic N and P inputs on the concentrations and allocation proportions of leaf P fractions in forest woody plants remains elusive.We conducted a metaanalysis of data about the concentrations and allocation proportions of leaf P fractions,specifically associated with individual and combined additions of N and P in evergreen forests,the dominant vegetation type in southern China where the primary productivity is usually considered limited by P.This assessment allowed us to quantitatively evaluate the effects of N and P additions alone and interactively on leaf P allocation and use strategies.Nitrogen addition(exacerbating P limitation)reduced the concentrations of leaf total P and different leaf P fractions.Nitrogen addition reduced the allocation to leaf metabolic P but increased the allocation to other fractions,while P addition showed opposite trends.The simultaneous additions of N and P showed an antagonistic(mutual suppression)effect on the concentrations of leaf P fractions,but an additive(summary)effect on the allocation proportions of leaf P fractions.These results highlight the importance of strategies of leaf P fraction allocation in forest plants under changes in environmental nutrient availability.Importantly,our study identified critical interactions associated with combined N and P inputs that affect leaf P fractions,thus aiding in predicting plant acclimation strategies in the context of intensifying and imbalanced anthropogenic nutrient inputs.

文摘This article introduces a novel 20 V radiation-hardened high-voltage metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET)driver with an optimized input circuit and a drain-surrounding-source(DSS)structure.The input circuit of a conventional inverter consists of a thick-gate-oxide n-type MOSFET(NMOS).These conventional drivers can tolerate a total ionizing dose(TID)of up to 100 krad(Si).In contrast,the proposed comparator input circuit uses both a thick-gate-oxide p-type MOSFET(PMOS)and thin-gate-oxide NMOS to offer a high input voltage and higher TID tolerance.Because the thick-gate-oxide PMOS and thin-gate-oxide NMOS collectively provide better TID tolerance than the thick-gate-oxide NMOS,the circuit exhibits enhanced TID tolerance of>300 krad(Si).Simulations and experimental date indicate that the DSS structure reduces the probability of unwanted parasitic bipolar junction transistor activation,yielding a better single-event effect tolerance of over 81.8 MeVcm^(2)mg^(-1).The innovative strategy proposed in this study involves circuit and layout design optimization,and does not require any specialized process flow.Hence,the proposed circuit can be manufactured using common commercial 0.35μm BCD processes.

文摘The integrated communication and jamming(ICAJ)system recently has been proposed to enable communication and jamming(C&J)to reinforce each other in one system.By exploiting the diversity gain of multiple input multiple output(MIMO)technology,a specific implementation form of ICAJ system,called communication-aided collaborative jamming system,is designed to transmit C&J signals at the same time and frequency.Different from previous studies which overlook the jamming prior information acquisition process and assume that the prior information is perfect or with bounded error,this paper takes the non-cooperative characteristics of jamming and the consequent difficulty in prior information acquisition into consideration.To analyze the tradeoff between C&J,the integration metric is proposed and then the corresponding system design problem is formulated.However,the non-convexity of problem and the lack of jamming prior information make the optimization tricky.In this case,blind channel estimation(BCE)is introduced to obtain an approximate channel state information(CSI)without interacting with jamming targets and then the neural network embedded with system performance calculation model is developed to establish the correspondence between the estimated CSI and optimal beamforming design.Furthermore,a hybrid data-driven and model-based approach,blind channel estimation-deep learning(BCEDL),is proposed to accomplish the beamforming design based on unsupervised learning for ICAJ system in non-cooperative scenarios.The simulation results show that the BCE-DL algorithm outperforms the conventional algorithms in the presence of CSI estimation errors and is a flexible approach which takes the best of both data-driven and model-based methods to design the ICAJ system.
文摘Dear Editor,It is well known that event-triggered control(ETC)is an effective approach in addressing networked control problems for Industry 5.0.Its feasibility,however,is still restricted to canonical nonlinear systems so far.Considering this,a gradient-based adaptive ETC scheme for noncanonical nonlinear systems is newly developed in this letter,where the hysteresis input constraints are considered also.By proper decomposition,the technical issue of handling ETC-induced measurement errors and hysteresis inputs can be transformed into the robustness problem to bounded disturbance-like terms,which is then addressed by integrating a switching modification strategy in adaptive design and developing a novel augmented error-based analysis framework.Experimental results based on a practical piezoactuator confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

文摘Single-phase,non-isolated microinverters used in photovoltaic(PV)systems commonly encounter two persistent challenges:High-frequency leakage current and fluctuating power delivery.This paper presents a novel single-phase,non-isolated,multi-input microinverter topology with a common-ground structure that effectively eliminates ground leakage current without requiring additional active components.The proposed microinverter architecture integrates a dual-boost configuration and uses only four active switches.This is especially advantageous in terms of the component count,which is beneficial to enhance reliability,reduce cost,and simplify the overall system design.With one,two,or four PV inputs,it can operate without interruption under unbalanced voltage or partial shading and even if some inputs drop to zero.A tailored modulation scheme minimizes conduction losses while maintaining a stable direct-current(DC)-link voltage,and a decoupling capacitor efficiently absorbs the single-phase pulsating power,thus overcoming one major limitation in existing microinverter designs.By validating with a 1-kW GaN-based prototype,both the simulated and experimental results demonstrate its high efficiency,robustness,and practical suitability for cost-effective PV applications,with a peak efficiency value of 94.8%.

文摘The sublaterodorsal tegmental nucleus(SLD) is a critical hub for regulating rapid eye movement(REM) sleep and muscle atonia,with its dysfunction linked to various disorders such as REM sleep behavior disorder(RBD) and cataplexy.Despite its physiological significance,the presynaptic patterns influencing SLD γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA)ergic neurons—one of the primary neuronal subtypes within the SLD—remain poorly understood.This study applied a modified rabies virus tracing system combined with a Cre/lox P-based genetic approach to map and quantify the whole-brain monosynaptic afferents to SLD GABAergic neurons in mice.In total,139 anatomically distinct nuclei were identified as sources of direct input,with predominant projections originating from the midbrain,pons,and medulla.Ipsilateral contributions accounted for67.99% of all traced inputs,while 32.01% were contralateral.Prominent sources included the mesencephalic reticular nucleus,superior colliculus,oral part of the pontine reticular nucleus,gigantocellular reticular nucleus,lateral hypothalamic area,and zona incerta neurons.Several nuclei displayed contralateral projection biases.Immunofluorescence staining revealed molecular diversity among input neurons,suggesting that SLD GABAergic neurons integrate signals from anatomically and functionally distinct neuronal populations.These findings provide a comprehensive anatomical framework for understanding how SLD GABAergic neurons integrate multisource inputs and offer new perspectives for investigating their involvement in regulating complex physiological functions,including sleep and motor control.
