Rapid Modeling of Transient Thermal Systems through Ensemble Parameter Estimation Applied to the Lumped Parameter Linear Superposition Method2026-01-50345/19/2026
Efficient thermal modeling is essential for the design and reliability of power electronics systems, particularly under fast transient operating conditions. Building upon prior formulations of the Lumped Parameter Linear Superposition (LPLSP) method, this work introduces an ensemble parameter estimation framework that enables reduced-order thermal model generation from a single transient dataset. Unlike the earlier implementation that relied on multiple parametric simulations to excite each heat source independently, the proposed approach simultaneously identifies all model coefficients using fully transient excitations. Two estimation strategies namely two-stage decomposition and rank reduction are developed to further reduce computational cost and improve scalability for larger systems. The proposed strategies yield models with temperature-prediction errors within 5% of CFD simulations while reducing model development times from O(103 s) to O(100 s)–O(101 s). Once constructed, the

A Novel Stiffness Prediction Model of Rolling Lobe Air Springs Considering Irregular Piston Contour Geometry: Development and Experimental Validation15-19-02-00065/18/2026
An accurate air spring model is essential for the design and optimization of air suspension systems to achieve superior performance. This article presents a novel stiffness model for a rolling lobe air spring (RLAS), formulated using stiffness characteristic parameters. Prediction models for these parameters, including effective area and its change rate, as well as effective volume and its change rate, are derived through geometric analysis, based on polynomial fitting of the irregular piston contour. The local contour cone angle of the piston is determined by differentiating the polynomial function, capturing the geometry-dependent variation across the profile. Additionally, a nonlinear hysteresis model for the rubber bellows is integrated, combining a Berg friction component and a Kelvin-Voigt fractional derivative viscoelastic model to represent the amplitude- and frequency-dependent behavior of the RLAS. The proposed model is parameterized through quasi-static and dynamic bench

Limit Stability Control for Corner Module Vehicles Based on Hierarchical Hybrid Game10-10-04-00325/18/2026
Corner module vehicles (CMVs) achieve the decoupling of driving, braking, steering, and suspension, significantly enhancing vehicle handling potential, but under extreme operating conditions, the interactions between actuators severely constrain the improvement of vehicle handling performance. In order to mitigate conflicts between subsystems and enhance vehicle handling stability, a hierarchical hybrid game–based limit stability control method for CMVs is proposed in this article. Taking into account the handling potential of subsystems under limit conditions, a Stackelberg leader–follower game is designed by first designating Direct Yaw moment Control (DYC) as the leader and Active Rear Steering (ARS) as the follower. Subsequently, the DYC–ARS and Active Suspension System (ASS) were constructed into a non-cooperative game system, and the Nash equilibrium solution was solved through iteration. The lower-level controllers, respectively, established a tire force distribution model that

An Anthropomorphic Trajectory Optimization Research for Autonomous Vehicles Considering Omnidirectional Dynamics2026-99-07335/15/2026
The rapid development of autonomous driving technology has brought emerging opportunities to optimize the omnidirectional vehicle driving performance. However, its compliance with driving habits directly determines its social acceptance. Therefore, how to balance consistency between performance improvement and driving habits has become an important bottleneck restricting the rapid promotion of autonomous driving technology. Manual driving vehicles mostly focus on the safety of both longitudinal and lateral movements, and cannot cope with the vertical movement, let alone the performance of economy, comfort, and efficiency. In this context, this paper proposes an anthropomorphic trajectory optimization method incorporating vehicle omnidirectional dynamic characteristics and corresponding driving habits. Firstly, this paper explores vehicle dynamic characteristics in longitudinal, lateral, and vertical directions, and reveals the coupling effect of motion states during driving

Local LLM Based Knowledge Graph in Power Domain Using Graph-Schema Reasoning and Retrieval-Augmented Generation2026-99-07565/15/2026
In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential in many domains. However, their application in professional domains is often limited by problems like erroneous outputs and hallucinatory responses. Therefore, we present a framework that combines knowledge graphs (KGs) with local LLMs. The framework utilizes the factual information in KGs to improve the initial output of the LLMs, thereby reducing the factual errors in inference. In this paper, a domain knowledge graph is automatically constructed using textual data from the power industry. The KG contains 149,732 entities and 139,280 relationships. The proposed method is tested on EleQA, a public Q&A dataset of electricity regulations. Compared with the LLM-only baseline, the knowledge-graph-enhanced model achieves an improvement of 32.42%. Moreover, the framework shows strong adaptability and performs well on various LLMs. Our framework improves the accuracy and utility of large language models in the power

Pattern-Guided Implicit Sentiment Analysis: Knowledge-Augmented Prompting with Aspect-Sentiment Joint Extraction for Automotive User Feedback2026-99-07535/15/2026
Implicit sentiment analysis of automotive user feedback is crucial for understanding user opinions. Automotive user feedback often express opinions in an indirect way and are accompanied by a dense array of industry terms. Therefore, without costly fine-tuning, both aspect identification and sentiment analysis are rather difficult. We propose a Pattern-Guided pipeline for implicit sentiment analysis to achieve the joint extraction of aspect and sentiment. This pipeline first performs Pattern Anchoring, mapping colloquial expressions and slang to the standardized vehicle component knowledge system. Then, using Knowledge-Augmented Prompting, these domain rules are injected into well-designed prompt templates. In this pipeline, the large language model (LLM) is applied to output JSON records suitable for comprehending, including aspects, sentiments, confidence levels, and brief reasons. To enhance stability, we employ an improved prompt and consistency-driven confidence fusion to generate

Secondary Control Method for Parallel DC-DC Converters under FDI Attacks Based on Sliding Mode Observer2026-99-07085/15/2026
Currently, with the continuous development of electric vehicles, DC microgrids have attracted widespread attention due to their flexible access methods and high energy transmission efficiency. However, since the distributed secondary control of DC microgrids relies on information exchange through communication networks, false data injection (FDI) attacks on these networks may cause control algorithms to fail, leading to voltage deviations, output current imbalance, and in severe cases, system instability. This study focuses on DC microgrids based on parallel DC–DC buck converters and proposes a distributed secondary control strategy based on a sliding mode observer to address FDI attacks. By treating the system's FDI attack signals as an extended state, an extended sliding mode observer is designed to track the attack signals. Based on the observed attacks, a control algorithm is proposed that compensates the control inputs through the observer, ensuring proportional sharing of bus

Aimed at the high energy consumption for battery heating of a light hybrid truck in low-temperature winter, this paper proposes an optimized battery thermal management scheme based on motor waste heat and PTC cooperation. Then it verifies its energy-saving performance based on multi-condition simulation and testing. Taking the constant-speed condition at -5°C as an example, firstly, the accuracy of the battery thermal management model is verified by comparative simulation and test. Then, based on the verified model, the battery thermal management model is simulated under typical winter conditions at 0°C and 5°C. The analysis results show that, when the battery temperature is raised from the initial state to a certain target, the energy consumption of the motor waste heat-assisted PTC heating scheme is obviously less than that of PTC heating. The energy saving rates are 33.137% at -5°C, 32.45% at 0°C, and 32.56% at 5°C, respectively. The research results have proved that the effective

Optimal Power Sharing and Voltage Restoration in DC Microgrids Based on Adaptive Droop Control2026-99-07075/15/2026
The stable operation of islanded DC microgrids is conditioned by two essential objectives. One is to maintain the bus voltage at its nominal value, and this can ensure system stability. The other is to achieve cost-effective power allocation among distributed generation units, which guarantees economic efficiency. These two objectives are often conflicting. Adding droop control to the voltage and current dual closed-loop control can achieve primary current sharing. However, it inevitably introduces steady-state voltage deviations on the DC bus and results in inflexible or not optimal power sharing. To resolve these inherent limitations, this paper proposes a innovative distributed secondary control strategy. The method is designed to meet both requirements within a unified framework. In the primary control layer, it uses adaptive droop gains to optimize power distribution in real time based on changing load requirements which enables distributed generation units to achieve cost

Time Series Causal Discovery Based on Data Augmentation and Causal Validation2026-99-07035/15/2026
Causal discovery within time series is crucial for revealing the actual causal mechanisms in dynamic systems, and it has major impacts in various fields like economics, healthcare, and climate science. Even though it’s important, accurately figuring out causal relationships from observational temporal data is still quite a difficult task. Traditional Granger causality based methods are often limited by noise sensitivity, large amount of data, and the inability to distinguish between real causality and false correlation caused by hidden factors. In order to solve these problems, this paper presents CausalAugVeri, which is a new algorithm that cleverly mixes data augmentation with causal verification to make causal discovery more solid and precise. This work has three main points: First, we carefully check that using convolutional data augmentation techniques can greatly improve how well time series predictions work, giving a steadier base for detecting Granger causality. Second, the

Research on a Lightweight Assistive Manipulator for Insulated Short-Stick Live-Line Operations in Distribution Networks2026-99-07325/15/2026
With the continuous economic development and the rapid advancement of urbanization, the stable operation of distribution networks has become a key factor in ensuring the reliability of power systems. In response to the problems of high risk, high labor intensity, and low efficiency in distribution network operations, this paper designs an auxiliary operation mechanical arm for distribution networks. This auxiliary operation mechanical arm is fixed on the working bucket of an insulated boom truck. The main body is a two-degree- of-freedom SCARA mechanical arm that moves in a plane, and the end is connected to a three-degree-of-freedom end effector through a flange to cooperate in completing the pitch, deflection, axial feed, and clamping of insulated rods, achieving coarse positioning in the plane and precise positioning of the target. The auxiliary mechanical arm operation platform adopts a fully insulated design. The platform is made of glass nylon material, and the edges are rounded
