CityU-CCCN-PolyU Joint Seminars

The CCCN-CityU-PolyU Joint Seminar Series began in 2001, and has since become regular weekly meetings for visitors, faculty, researchers and students to discuss latest progresses in their research. The usual venue is FYW-3316, Fong Yun Wah Building (access from Chinese Garden corridor, down the escalator on the left of the gate connecting Festival Walk) at CityU or CD-634, Core D of PolyU.

Analysis and Suppression of Electrical Instability for Multi-Vehicle Interconnected Systems in Electrified Railways
Dr Xiangyu Meng, City University of Hong Kong

Abstract: To address the instability problem in electrified railways under multi-train interconnection, this report provides a scheme for "impedance modeling - stability analysis - oscillation suppression". First, an impedance identification method for traction converters based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is constructed. Subsequently, the stability of the multi-train interconnected vehicle-grid system is analyzed. Finally, oscillation suppression is achieved through Deep Reinforcement Learning scheme.

Speaker's Bio: Meng Xiangyu is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the City University of Hong Kong. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Southwest Jiaotong University in 2025. He was also a visiting Ph.D. student at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on railway vehicle-grid system, resilient microgrids, stability analysis of power electronics-based systems, and data-driven modeling and control of converters using AI. He has served as a reviewer for several IEEE journals.
