Grid-Forming Storage Networks: Analytical Characterization of Damping and Design Insights

The paper presents a theoretical study on small-signal stability and damping in bulk power systems with multiple grid-forming inverter-based storage resources. A detailed analysis is presented, characterizing the impacts of inverter droop gains and storage size on the slower eigenvalues, particularly those concerning inter-area oscillation modes. From these parametric sensitivity studies, a set of necessary conditions are derived that the design of droop gain must satisfy to enhance damping performance. The analytical findings are structured into propositions highlighting potential design considerations for improving system stability. The findings are illustrated via numerical studies on an IEEE 68-bus grid-forming storage network.

A primitive normal pair in a finite field with prescribed traces and norms

Given ${\mathbb{F}_{p^t}}$, a field with $p^t$ elements, where $p$ is a prime power, $t$ is a positive integer. Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{p^t}$ of degree $m$ with some restrictions. In this paper, we construct a sufficient condition on $(p,t)$ which guarantees the existence of a primitive normal pair $(ε,f(ε))$ such that $Tr_{\mathbb{F}_{p^t}/\mathbb{F}_p}(ε)=a$, $Tr_{\mathbb{F}_{p^t}/\mathbb{F}_p}(f(ε))=b$ and $N_{\mathbb{F}_{p^t}/\mathbb{F}_p}(ε)=c$, $N_{\mathbb{F}_{p^t}/\mathbb{F}_p}(f(ε))=d$ where $c,d\in\mathbb{F}_{p}$ are primitive elements and $a,b\in\mathbb{F}_{p}^*$. Furthermore, we demonstrate that, for $p=11^k;$ $k\geq1,$ $m=8$ and $t\geq 15$, there are only $4$ possible exceptions where such pairs may not exist.

Structural Impact of Grid-Forming Inverters on Power System Coherency

This paper addresses the following fundamental research question: how does the integration of grid-forming inverters (GFMs) replacing conventional synchronous generators (SGs) impact the slow coherent eigen-structure and the low-frequency oscillatory behavior of future power systems? Due to time-scale separated dynamics, generator states inside a coherent area synchronize over a fast time-scale due to stronger coupling, while the areas themselves synchronize over a slower time scale. Our mathematical analysis shows that due to the large-scale integration of GFMs, the weighted Laplacian structure of the frequency dynamics is preserved, however, the entries of the Laplacian may be significantly modified based on the location and penetration levels of the GFMs. This can impact and potentially significantly alter the coherency structure of the system. We have validated our findings with numerical results using the IEEE 68-bus test system.

What Can Quantum Information Theory Offer to Quantum Chemistry?

It is the ultimate goal of this work to foster synergy between quantum chemistry and the flourishing field of quantum information theory. For this, we first translate quantum information concepts such as entanglement and correlation into the context of quantum chemical systems. In particular, we establish two conceptually distinct perspectives on `electron correlation' leading to a notion of orbital and particle correlation. We then demonstrate that particle correlation equals total orbital correlation minimized over all orbital bases. Accordingly, particle correlation resembles the minimal, thus intrinsic, complexity of many-electron wave functions while orbital correlation quantifies their complexity relative to a basis. We illustrate these concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic correlation complexity in molecular systems, which also manifests the crucial link between the two correlation pictures. Our results provide theoretical justification for the long-favored natural orbitals for simplifying electronic structures, and open new pathways for developing more efficient approaches towards the electron correlation problem.

Arithmetic progression in a finite field with prescribed norms

Given a prime power $q$ and a positive integer $n$, let $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ represents a finite extension of degree $n$ of the finite field ${\mathbb{F}_{q}}$. In this article, we investigate the existence of $m$ elements in arithmetic progression, where every element is primitive and at least one is normal with prescribed norms. Moreover, for $n\geq6,q=3^k,m=2$ we establish that there are only $10$ possible exceptions.

Steady-state Quantum Thermodynamics with Synthetic Negative Temperatures

A bath with a negative temperature is a subject of intense debate in recent times. It raises fundamental questions not only on our understanding of negative temperature of a bath in connection with thermodynamics but also on the possibilities of constructing devices using such baths. In this work, we study steady-state quantum thermodynamics involving baths with negative temperatures. A bath with a negative temperature is created synthetically using two baths of positive temperatures and weakly coupling these with a qutrit system. These baths are then coupled to each other via a working system. At steady-state, the laws of thermodynamics are analyzed. We find that whenever the temperatures of these synthetic baths are identical, there is no heat flow, which reaffirms the zeroth law. There is always a spontaneous heat flow for different temperatures. In particular, heat flows from a bath with a negative temperature to a bath with a positive temperature which, in turn, implies that a bath with a negative temperature is `hotter' than a bath with a positive temperature. This warrants an amendment in the Kelvin-Planck statement of the second law, as suggested in earlier studies. In all these processes, the overall entropy production is positive, as required by the Clausius statement of the second law. We construct continuous heat engines operating between positive and negative temperature baths. These engines yield maximum possible heat-to-work conversion efficiency, that is, unity. We also study the thermodynamic nature of heat from a bath with a negative temperature and find that it is thermodynamic work but with negative entropy.

Extending the Dissipating Energy Flow Method to Flexible AC Transmission Systems

In recent years, the dissipating energy flow (DEF) method has emerged as a promising tool for online localization of oscillation sources. In literature, the mathematical foundations of this method are well-studied for networks with synchronous generators. In this paper, we extend the analysis to flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). To that end, we derive the DEF-expressions for a thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) operating with conventional control strategies. Analyzing their respective DEFs, we obtain the conditions for which these FACTS devices could behave as the sources of oscillation energy. Our findings are structured into propositions and are supported through numerical case studies on IEEE test systems.

Dissipation of Oscillation Energy and Distribution of Damping Power in a Multimachine Power System: A Small-signal Analysis

This paper revisits the concept of damping torque in a multimachine power system and its relation to the dissipation of oscillation energy in synchronous machine windings. As a multimachine extension of an existing result on a single-machine-infinite-bus (SMIB) system, we show that the total damping power for a mode stemming from the interaction of electromagnetic torques and rotor speeds is equal to the sum of average power dissipations in the generator windings corresponding to the modal oscillation. Further, counter-intuitive to the SMIB result, we demonstrate that, although the equality holds on an aggregate, such is not the case for individual machines in an interconnected system. To that end, distribution factors are derived for expressing the average damping power of each generator as a linear combination of average powers of modal energy dissipation in the windings of all machines in the system. These factors represent the distribution of damping power in a multimachine system. The results are validated on IEEE 4-machine and 16-machine test systems.
