Laboratory or in-field measurements are often considered the gold standard for certain aspects of power system design; however, measurement approaches always have limitations. Simulation can help overcome some of these limitations, including speeding up the design process, reducing design costs, and assessing situations that are often not feasible to measure directly. In this presentation, we will discuss two examples from the power system industry. The first case we will discuss involves corona...

For decades, psychologists have debated whether the human mind can be explained by one unified theory or must be broken into separate parts like memory and attention. A recent AI model called Centaur seemed to offer a breakthrough, claiming it could mimic human thinking across 160 different cognitive tasks. But new research is challenging that bold claim, suggesting the model isn't truly "thinking" at all it's just memorizing patterns.

As more AI data centers come online, concerns are rising about their effects on the grid, and it's not just the amount of power they consume. They tend to have huge swings in power use, surging up and down by 70 percent or more in milliseconds. Traditional electricity infrastructure isn't designed to deal with that kind of load fluctuation. To address the problem, researchers are developing power electronics systems that sit between the data center and the grid to act as a buffer and even...

Relying on optimal planetary alignment, NASA estimates a roundtrip to Mars would take two to three years. Now, a new study argues that using orbital data from asteroids, rather than planets, could shave years off the trip, potentially cutting total mission time to about five months. Instead of relying solely...
