Speech Title: LLM Agent Workflow for Power System Operation and Control

 

Abstract: Driven by the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the new-type power system is rapidly evolving toward high penetration of renewable energy and power electronics, bringing profound transformations across the source-grid-load-storage chain. As system complexity and uncertainty keep rising, traditional approaches to simulation modeling, dispatch decision-making and stability analysis are facing common industry bottlenecks: long iteration cycles, slow scenario adaptation, and high labor costs. Focusing on the practical deployment of large language model (LLM) and intelligent agent technologies in power system operation and control, this report systematically reviews the technological evolution of AI-enabled power regulation and presents two core research outcomes. The first is a full closed-loop method for LLM-driven transient stability assessment: it enables automated simulation via prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and feedback mechanisms, and achieves automatic neural architecture search through multi-agent collaboration, delivering classification accuracy and parameter efficiency that significantly outperform manual baselines. The second is a text-to-control LLM agent workflow for networked microgrids, which generates reinforcement learning scheduling strategies with expert-level performance in a short time through chained multi-agent collaboration covering task interpretation, mathematical modeling, algorithm design and code generation. The report also introduces the self-developed PSASP AI Agent power system analysis platform, and discusses future directions including multi-agent collaboration under physical mechanism constraints and domain knowledge enhancement, offering a novel technical paradigm and practical pathway for the digital and intelligent operation of new-type power systems.

Speech Title: Condition Monitoring and /Fault Diagnosis of Induction Motor using Advanced Signal Processing Techniques

 

Abstract: Induction motors are among the most widely used electrical machines in industrial applications, where their reliable and efficient operation is essential for maintaining productivity and reducing unexpected downtime. However, faults such as bearing defects, broken rotor bars, stator winding abnormalities, eccentricity, and mechanical unbalance can progressively deteriorate motor performance. Therefore, early condition monitoring and accurate fault diagnosis are essential for improving reliability, safety, and maintenance planning. This presentation focuses on condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of induction motors using advanced signal processing techniques. The basic principles of motor condition monitoring are discussed, followed by the analysis of electrical and vibration signals for identifying incipient faults. Particular emphasis is given to time-domain, frequency-domain, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and wavelet-based techniques for extracting fault-related features from measured signals. Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) is also discussed as a non-invasive and cost-effective approach for detecting electrical and mechanical abnormalities without requiring direct access to the motor. The presentation explains how characteristic changes in current and vibration signatures can be correlated with different fault conditions, enabling early identification and severity assessment. The comparative advantages and limitations of conventional and advanced signal processing approaches are highlighted, along with their practical applications in industrial predictive maintenance. The presentation concludes by discussing emerging opportunities for integrating advanced signal processing with intelligent diagnostic techniques to develop reliable, automated, and real-time condition monitoring systems for induction motors.
