Bounds of linear time‐varying systems with applications to quantify model gap of synchronous generators

Abstract Linear time‐varying (LTV) systems play a key role in many engineering problems, for example, trajectory sensitivity analysis of power systems. Because LTV systems do not generally have closed‐form solutions, estimates of their bounds are crucial to their analysis. In this paper, bounds for LTV systems with known inputs and unknown but bounded inputs are obtained via Grönwall's inequality. The estimated bounds are then used to quantify the gap between synchronous generators and their models in different scenarios through simulation.

Structures and Free Energies of Cerium Ions in Acidic Electrolytes

The Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ redox potential changes with the electrolyte, which could be due to unequal anion complexation free energies between Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ or a change in the solvent electrostatic screening. Ce complexation with anions and solvent screening also affect the solubility of Ce and charge transfer kinetics for electrochemical reactions involving waste remediation and energy storage. Here, we report the structures and free energies of cerium complexes n seven acidic electrolytes based on Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure, LTV vis, and Density Functional Theory calculations. Ce 3+ coordinates with nine water molecules as [Ce(H 2 O) 9 ] 3+ in all studied electrolytes. However, Ce 4+ complexes with anions in all electrolytes except HClO 4 . Thus, our results suggest that Ce 4+ anion complexation leads to the large shifts in standard redox potential. Long range screening effects are smaller than the anion complexation energies but could be responsible for changes in the Ce solubility with acid.
