The computational speed of electromagnetic transient programs (EMTP) is severely limited by both the curse of dimensionality and the ill-conditioned system matrix, which collectively degrade solver performance. However, existing research on EMTP acceleration has largely overlooked the issue of ill-conditioning. This letter presents a first systematic, EMT-oriented investigation of the ill-conditioning of the EMTP admittance matrix by establishing a link between its physical origins and mathematical pathologies, thereby revealing the underlying mechanism by which network topology induces ill-conditioning. Building upon these structural insights, a preconditioner-based strategy is developed that significantly accelerates computation while preserving numerical accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate the outstanding efficiency and robustness of the proposed approach.
The Subspace-based Model Identification algorithm using a modified Iterative Principal Component Analysis (SMI-IPCA) is a theoretically rigorous method for identifying a linear state-space model of a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process, in an errors-in-variables (EIV) setting…
This work addresses the need for engineering-grounded evaluation of implement-ed tariff mechanisms in distribution-level energy systems. A digital twin-based method is proposed for assessing local collective tariffs under realistic behavioral and infrastructural conditions. The a…
This paper studies learning-based model predictive control (MPC) for stabilizing unknown discrete-time linear systems with hard input constraints and additive unbounded sub-Gaussian disturbances. We adopt a certainty-equivalence (CE) design that combines a switching MPC control l…
The control of agile quadrotors in dynamic and uncertain environments remains an open area of investigation to this day, particularly when the complete system dynamics are partially known or highly nonlinear. This work introduces a novel machine learning-based feedback-linearizat…
Scenario-based model predictive control (SBMPC) is a variant of model predictive control (MPC) that explicitly accounts for uncertainty by optimizing control actions over multiple predicted scenarios. However, its computational complexity increases rapidly with the number of scen…
Unknown linear time-varying (LTV) systems require the control policy to adapt from online closed-loop data as dynamics evolve. Existing methods usually update the policy by solving a one-shot optimization problem, which can be computationally demanding and sensitive to noisy mode…
