Robust Convergence of Power Flow using Tx Stepping Method with Equivalent Circuit Formulation
Robust solving of critical large power flow cases (with 50k or greater buses)
forms the backbone of planning and operation of any large connected power grid.
At present, reliable convergence with applications of existing power flow tools
to large power systems is contingent upon a good initial guess for the system
state. To enable robust convergence for large scale systems starting with an
arbitrary initial guess, we extend our equivalent circuit formulation for power
flow analysis to include a novel continuation method based on transmission line
(Tx) stepping. While various continuation methods have been proposed for use
with the traditional PQV power flow formulation, these methods have either
failed to completely solve the problem or have resulted in convergence to a low
voltage solution. The proposed Tx Stepping method in this paper demonstrates
robust convergence to the high voltage solution from an arbitrary initial
guess. Example systems, including 75k+ bus test cases representing different
loading and operating conditions for Eastern Interconnection of the U.S. power
grid, are solved from arbitrary initial guesses.Interconnection of the U.S.

Selection of microorganisms degrading S-Metolachlor herbicide.
The aim of this work was to study herbicide degradation through selected microorganisms from humus and soil subjected to different plantation systems. The following bacterial species were identified: Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumoniae GC s.B strain 1, Pseudomonas alcaligenes, Enterobacter aerogenes GC s.A and Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumoniae GC s.B strain 2. Growth studies yet suggested the possibility of a very long lag phase. Although, culture with the herbicide presented biofilm formation and there were color changes in the herbicide that could have interfered with the espectrophotometry readings. After 5 days of incubation at 35ºC, the difference in the concentration of herbicide was 14.42% on average and after 10 days, 35.01%
