Abstract: As a variant modular converter configuration, the alternate arm converter (AAC) is well-suited for high-voltage power transmission and large-scale integration of renewables. In contrast to conventional multilevel converters, the director switches in the arms of AAC lead to the introduction of an overlap period, during which circuiting current can flow through the two arms in the same phase. Thus, fixed or variable overlap period control can be implemented in AAC systems so as to dynamically balance stored arm energy. However, the control of overlap period is linked to instability issues that might impede the safe operation of AAC systems, which are yet to be reported. In this paper, the stability of an AAC system is demonstrated based on measured grid and converter impedance, in conjunction with impedance-based stability criterion in the dq frame. The interaction between harmonic sources at AC and DC sides of the AAC system is analyzed to determine resonant frequencies in the AC current when any potential resonance is identified in the dq frame. Novel results with respect to the impact of overlap period on the system stability are obtained by depicting and comparing the Eigenloci in the polar plot, which are validated by real-time simulations.

Abstract: This paper aimed to (1) develop a hierarchy for understanding the impacts of active and non-active transport modes on the environment and (2) analyse the adoption of active transportation between older and younger people. A narrative review with two parts was adopted to develop the hierarchy. In the first part, a framework was adopted to map active and non-active transport modes onto three operational boundaries of greenhouse gas emission to develop the hierarchy. In the second part, an intergenerational theoretical framework was developed to analyse the adoption of active transportation between older and younger people. The review suggests that the only active transport modes with no or negligible carbon footprint are walking, running, and swimming without a product that adds to atmospheric greenhouse gases. The evidence that younger people perform higher active transportation behaviour is inconsistent and is, therefore, inconclusive. This review suggests a need for manufacturers to prioritise the production of active vehicles (e.g., wheelchairs and scooters) that are biodegradable, recyclable, and small.

Abstract: Knowledge about how physical activity levels relate to functional disability is essential for health promotion and planning older adults’ care or rehabilitation. The risk of living with one or more chronic health conditions increases with increasing age in lower and higher income countries–many of which are associated with physical inactivity. We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the moderating role of multimorbidity on physical activity and its measures on functional disability among older adults in Ghana. Data from WHO’s Study on global AGEing and adult health Ghana Wave 2 with a s le of 4,446 people aged 50+ years was used for this study. Functional disability was assessed using the 12-item WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0. Three categories of physical activity levels were used: vigorous intensity, moderate intensity, and walking. Past month diagnosis by a doctor was used to assess the presence of a chronic condition, and the presence of two or more conditions was used to define multi-morbidity. Logistic regressions with a post hoc interactional tests were used to examine the associations. Overall, physical activity had a significant association with functional disability (OR = 0.25, 95%CI 0.12, 0.32). A similar relationship was found for vigorous-intensity (OR = 0.19, 95%CI: 0.12, 0.29), moderate-intensity (OR = 0.19, 95%CI: 0.15, 0.25) and walking (OR = 0.41, 95%CI: 0.33, 0.51). Older adults living with one condition and physically active were 47% less likely to experience functional disability compared with the less active counterparts living with at least two chronic conditions. Among the three measures of physical activity, multimorbidity moderated the relationship between walking and functional disability. Future strategies for meeting the health and long-term care needs of older adults, particularly those living with only one chronic condition in Ghana should consider encouraging walking. Policies, financial assistance, family, and community level interventions aimed to promote and sustain physical activity among older adults should be a priority for stakeholders in Ghana.

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises solutions to the challenges raised by the digitalization of power grids and their assets. Decision-making, forecasting and even operational optimization of grids and assets are just some of the solutions that AI algorithms can provide to operators, utilities and vendors. Nevertheless, barriers such as access to quality datasets, interpretability, repeatability, and availability of computational resources currently limit the extent of practical AI implementations. At the same time, Digital Twins (DTs) are foreseen as platforms that can overcome these barriers, and also provide a new environment for the development of enhanced and more intelligent applications. In this manuscript, we review the published literature to determine the existing capabilities and implementation challenges of AI algorithms in power systems, and classify AI-based applications based on their time scale to reveal their temporal sensitivity. By combining AI and DT, we outline multiple prospective use cases for AI-enhanced power grid and power asset DTs. Our review also identifies that the combination of AI-based solutions and DTs leverages new applications with the potential to fundamentally change multiple aspects of the power industry.

Abstract: Australia is one of the leading countries in energy transition, and its largest power system is intended to securely operate with up to 75% of variable renewable generation by 2025. High-inertia synchronous condensers, battery energy storage systems, and grid-forming converters are some of the technologies supporting this transformation while facilitating the secure operation of the grid. Synchronous condensers have enabled 2500 MW of solar and wind generation in the state of South Australia, reaching minimum operational demands of ≈100 MW. Grid-scale battery energy storage systems have demonstrated not only market benefits by cutting costs to consumers but also essential grid services during contingencies. Fast frequency response, synthetic inertia, and high fault currents are some of the grid-supporting capabilities provided by new developments that strengthen the grid while facilitating the integration of new renewable energy hubs. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview, based on the Australian experience, of how power systems are overcoming expected challenges while continuing to integrate secure, low cost, and clean energy.

Abstract: The circuit topology of a submodule (SM) in an modular multilevel converter (MMC) defines many of the functionalities of the complete power electronics conversion system and the specific applications that a specific MMC configuration can support. Most prominent among all applications for the MMC is its use in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems and multiterminal dc grids. The aim of the paper is to provide a comprehensive review and classification of the many different SM circuit topologies that have been proposed for the MMC up to date. Using an 800-MVA, point-to-point MMC-based HVDC transmission system as a benchmark, the presented analysis identifies the limitations and drawbacks of certain SM configurations that limit their broader adoption as MMC SMs. A hybrid model of an MMC arm and appropriate implementations of voltage-balancing algorithms are used for detailed loss comparison of all SMs and to quantify differences among multiple SMs. The review also provides a comprehensive benchmark among all SM configurations, broad recommendations for the benefits and limitations of different SM topologies which can be further expanded based on the requirements of a specific application, and identifies future opportunities.

Abstract: This study aimed to assess the moderating influence of neighborhood walkability on the association between physical activity (PA) and mental health among older African academics aged 50 years or more in cities with social distancing protocols in response to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A total of 905 volunteer academics participated in the study. A hierarchical linear regression analysis was employed to conduct sensitivity analyses and test the study hypotheses. After controlling for sex, education and age, there was a positive association between PA and mental health. Neighborhood walkability moderated the relationship between PA and mental health, which suggests that during the pandemic PA was associated with higher mental health scores in more walkable neighborhoods. The study concludes that PA was beneficial to mental health in the social distancing context and was associated with higher mental health in more walkable neighborhoods, particularly in a social distancing context.

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the interoperability of an emerging alternate arm converter (AAC) with the state-of-the-art modular multilevel converter (MMC) in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems based on a hybrid VSC-HVDC system. The paper also showcases the parameter derivation of the hybrid HVDC system and its detailed control structure. The study provides preliminary steps towards detailed analysis of AAC interoperability in complex hybrid dc grid configurations. A detailed set of results based on the 800 MVA hybrid voltage source converter (VSC)-HVDC system showcases the interoperability performance of the AAC under different operating scenarios and verifies its associated control functions.
