Abstract

To support the electric power grid, some grid-connected converters are required to ride through abnormal grid conditions, including voltage disturbances. However, at the moment, when a grid voltage disturbance happens, a large inrush current could be induced due to the large difference between the grid and converter output pulsewidth modulation (PWM) voltages. This inrush current could be more severe in the faster switching SiC-based multilevel converter, which only needs a small filter inductance to meet its normal operation requirements, such as harmonics and peak ripple currents. In this article, a PWM mask method is used to limit the inrush current. With this method, the inrush current can be effectively limited to a preset value and can help the converter ride through grid voltage disturbances. Furthermore, the method is validated through experiments conducted on a single-phase SiC-based five-level converter considering low voltage, high voltage, and phase angle disturbances.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
