Planning, operation, and design of market-based virtual power plant considering uncertainty

The power systems of today seem inseparable from clean energy sources such as wind turbines (WTs) and photovoltaics (PVs). However, due to their uncertain nature, operational challenges are expected when WT and PV energy is added to the electricity network. It is necessary to introduce new technologies to compensate for the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources (RESs). Therefore, rationally implementing a demand response (DR) program with energy storage systems (ESSs) in a virtual power plant (VPP) environment is recommended as a way forward to minimize the volatile nature of RESs and improve power system reliability. Our proposed approach aims to maximize social welfare (SW) (i.e., maximization of consumer benefits while minimizing energy costs). Our method assesses the impact of the DR program on SW maximization. Two scenarios are examined, one with and one without a DR program. Stochastic programming theory is used to address the optimization problem. The uncertain behavior of WTs, PVs, and load demand is modeled using a scenario-based approach. The correctness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on a 16-bus UK generic distribution system. Our results show that SW and active power dispatch capacity of WT, PV, and ESS are fairly increased using the proposed approach. View Full-Tex

Structural and spectroscopic analysis of wurtzite (ZnO)1−x(Sb2O3)x composite semiconductor

Abstract The structural, vibrational and impedance analysis for (ZnO) 1− x (Sb 2 O 3 ) x composite synthesized by solid state reaction technique were carried out in the present investigation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study showed that (ZnO) 1− x (Sb 2 O 3 ) x composite has hexagonal (wurtzite) crystal structure. Variation in lattice constants with Sb-doping indicated the proper incorporation of Sb dopant in ZnO host matrix. The results of Raman spectroscopy test suggested the signature of E 2 (high) and E 1 (TO) Raman modes, and verified the wurtzite structure of (ZnO) 1− x (Sb 2 O 3 ) x composite. Two additional phonon bands (671, 712) cm −1 appeared in Raman spectra of composite samples due to the existence of the lattice defects caused by Sb doping or may be other intrinsic lattice defects formed during the synthesis of (ZnO) 1− x (Sb 2 O 3 ) x composite. The frequency dependent on the electrical characteristics, such as, impedance ( Z ), dielectric constant ( e ) and AC conductivity ( σ ) have been studied in a range of frequencies for different Sb concentration at room temperature. The electrical measurement results showed that the impedance increased with Sb dopant concentration, while dielectric constant and AC conductivity decreased with Sb dopant concentration

4-Chloro-1-iodo-2-nitro­benzene

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C6H3ClINO2, the nitro group is disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.506 (6) and 0.494 (6). The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the two disordered components of the nitro group are 29.0 (2) and 51.0 (3)°. The disordering avoids short O⋯O inter­molecular contacts in the crystal

Methyl 4-hy­droxy-2-meth­oxy­carbonyl­methyl-1,1-dioxo-1,2-dihydro-1λ6,2-benzothia­zine-3-carboxyl­ate1

There are two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H13NO7S, which have almost identical geometries. The thia­zine ring adopts a sofa conformation in both mol­ecules and the mol­ecular conformations are stabilized by intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal packing

2-Chloro-5-(2-iodo­benzene­sulfonamido)­benzoic acid

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C13H9ClINO4S, the coordination around the S atom is distorted tetra­hedral. The aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 74.46 (9)°. Intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two five- and one six-membered rings, which adopt planar, envelope and twisted conformations, respectively. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules to form R 2 2(8) ring motifs, which are further linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. π–π contacts between the benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.709 (3) and 3.772 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure. The I atom is disordered over two positions, refined with occupancies of ca 0.75 and 0.25

In the crystal structure, inter­molecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules

Effects of Seasonal Precipitation on the Amount of Seepage-A Case Study of Tunnel 3 of Bazai Irrigation Project Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Infiltration of water into tunnel within a harsh geological formation is a vital issue in tunnelling. The consequence impacts due to seepage include tunnel rock instability, pore-water pressure imposition and diminution of operational capacity. The spatial variation in rainfall due to climate change intensifies the threat to tunnel stability. Likewise, to understand the impacts of climate change scenarios on the seepage of tunnel 3 of the Bazai irrigation project was numerically simulated in SEEP/W software by manipulating the rainfall data. The net annual precipitation is followed by two sets of rainfall data i.e., dry and wet season precipitation depending upon the magnitude of rainfall. The analysis revealed that most of the seepage occurred in the unlined portion. In order to determine the future impacts of precipitation on seepage quantity, the wet season precipitation was further increased by 10% and 50% for A1B and B2 conditions respectively. The seepage quantity into the tunnel increases with variation in precipitation patterns. To reduce the risk to tunnel stability, the model was also treated with cement-bentonite grout and bentonite slurry containing 6% solids. The performance of both grouting techniques leads to noticeable seepage deduction. The study further suggests that cement-bentonite is more effective in seepage remediation

Fixed point results of F-rational cyclic contractive mappings on 0-complete partial metric spaces

© 2018 Forum-Editrice Universitaria Udinese SRL. All rights reserved. Wardowski [19] introduced a new concept of contraction which called F-contraction and proved a fixed point theorem on complete metric space. Following this direction of research, in this paper, we introduce an F-rational cyclic contraction on partial metric spaces and we present new fixed point results for such cyclic contraction in 0-complete partial metric spaces. An example is given to illustrate the main result, also an application to integral equation is given to show the usability of our results

In the crystal structure of the title mol­ecule, C13H15NO5S, the S and N atoms of the thia­zine ring exihibit the maximum deviations from the least-squares plane of 0.3008 (6) and 0.3280 (7) Å, respectively. The ring therefore adopts a half chair conformation. The thia­zine ring is twisted by an angle of 13.29 (7)° with respect to the aromatic ring. The isopropyl substituent is oriented at a dihedral angle of 53.2 (12)° with respect to the thia­zine ring. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. Inter­molecular hydrogen bonding is observed in the crystal structure
