The paper proposes a Trust Relationship-based Conflict * Table 1 is Table 18 in the manuscript. In the two experiments, the conflict threshold is set the same as Φ = 0.3. It means that within the limited iterations T max , when the calculated group conflict degree is less that the threshold, the acceptable consensus is reached and the final decision can be made. As the results recorded in Table 1, if we set 1 *Detailed Response to Reviewers the value of Φ higher than 0.3, we can make the final decision within a few iterations. Such as, if we set Φ = 0.42 in the two experiments, we can chose the final decision with the two group conflict degrees are 0.41 after three iterations and two iterations, respectively. In other words, the higher the value of conflict threshold is, the less iterations are needed and the higher the group conflict degree is allowed before making the final decision in the LSGDM event. A smaller number of iterations implies a reduction in the temporal cost. However, the higher value of group conflict degree means the higher dissatisfaction among DMs, which may lead to some other serious group events. As there are the results of the practical scenario experiment in Table 1, we removed the section for the behaviors of parameters to Section 6.3 to make it more readable. On the other hand, if we set Φ = 0.28 in the two experiments, the numerical example can not reach the consensus in the limited 6 iterations. That is, the lower the conflict threshold is, the more iterations are needed for the LSGDM event. Comment 2: This is a wording suggestion to consider: in definition 6.1 consider using urgency level/level of urgency vs. emergency level. A decision could be very urgent but in no way an emergency.

This paper proposed a novel battery energy storage system based on modular multilevel converter (MMC), which has several merits compared with two-level and cascaded multilevel battery energy storage systems. The proposed system can manage the state-of-charges (SOCs) of all batteries to be equal to avoid the overcharge or over discharge of single battery stack as traditional. Besides, the inherent power exchange characteristics using circulating current could increase the control flexibility for SOC balancing, and improve output waveform quality, maximize storage capacity and reduce internal losses. The key issues regarding injected dc current control, SOC balancing control and circulating current control are discussed in this paper. Finally, the proposed system were verified through Matlab/Simulink simulation and a scaled down experiment prototype.

An advanced cophase traction power supply system is proposed to solve the power quality problems of the traditional traction power supply system, such as unbalance, reactive power, and harmonics to three-phase industrial grid. The three-phase to single-phase converter-based substation is adopted in this system, which can transfer active power from three-phase grid to singlephase catenary and compensate reactive power and harmonics of the locomotives. One catenary section could be utilized in the advanced cophase system instead of the multiple split sections in traditional system. The neutral sections and problems caused by them in traditional system could be avoided. In this paper, the characteristics of the advanced cophase system and the automatic current-sharing control algorithm of three-phase to single-phase converter are studied and analyzed. The simulation and experimental results verify the viability and effectiveness of the proposed system.Index Terms-Automatic current-sharing control, multilevel converter, power quality, three-phase to single-phase converter, traction power supply.
