This paper concentrates on the issue of anti-disturbance bumpless transfer (ADBT) control design for switched systems. The ADBT control design problem refers to designing a continuous controller and a switching rule to ensure the switched system satisfies the ADBT property. First, the concept of the ADBT property is introduced. Then, via a switched equivalent-input-disturbance (EID) methodology, a switched EID estimator is formulated to estimate the impact of external disturbances within the switched system. Second, a bumpless transfer control is then constructed via a compensator integrating an EID estimation. Finally, the effectiveness of the presented control scheme is verified by controlling a switching resistor–inductor–capacitor circuit on the Matlab platform. Above all, a new configuration for ADBT control of switched systems is established via a switched EID methodology. Full article

This paper introduces a novel electricity load time-series prediction model, utilizing a broad learning system to tackle the challenge of low prediction accuracy caused by the unpredictable nature of electricity load sequences in a specific region of China. First, a correlation analysis with mutual information is utilized to identify the key factors affecting the electricity load. Second, variational mode decomposition is employed to obtain different mode information, and then a broad learning system is utilized to build a prediction model with different mode information. Finally, particle swarm optimization is used to fuse the prediction models under different modes. Simulation experiments using real data validate the efficiency of the proposed method, demonstrating that it offers higher accuracy compared to advanced modeling techniques and can assist in optimal electricity-load scheduling decision-making. Additionally, the R2 of the proposed model is 0.9831, the PRMSE is 21.8502, the PMAE is 17.0097, and the PMAPE is 2.6468. Full article

The modern distribution network system is gradually becoming more complex and diverse, and traditional fault location methods have difficulty in quickly and accurately locating the fault location after a single-phase ground fault occurs. Therefore, this study proposes a new solution based on the Markov transfer field and deep learning to predict the fault location, which can accurately predict the location of a single-phase ground fault in the distribution network. First, a new phase-mode transformation matrix is used to take the fault current of the distribution network as the modulus 1 component, avoiding complex calculations in the complex field; then, the extracted modulus 1 component of the current is transformed into a Markov transfer field and converted into an image using pseudo-color coding, thereby fully exploiting the fault signal characteristics; finally, the Darknet-19 network is used to automatically extract fault features and predict the distance of the fault occurrence. Through simulations on existing models and training and testing with a large amount of data, the experimental results show that this method has good stability, high accuracy, and strong anti-interference ability. This solution can effectively predict the distance of ground faults in distribution networks. Full article
