Sharing Economy in Local Energy Markets
With an increase in the electrification of end-use sectors, various resources on the demand side provide great flexibility potential for system operation, which also leads to problems such as the strong randomness of power consumption behavior, the low utilization rate of flexible resources, and difficulties in cost recovery. With the core idea of 'access over ownership', the concept of the sharing economy has gained substantial popularity in the local energy market in recent years. Thus, we provide an overview of the potential market design for the sharing economy in local energy markets (LEMs) and conduct a detailed review of research related to local energy sharing, enabling technologies, and potential practices. This paper can provide a useful reference and insights for the activation of demand-side flexibility potential. Hopefully, this paper can also provide novel insights into the development and further integration of the sharing economy in LEMs.</p
Microwave Synthesis of AlFeCuCrNi /TiB
The Al-Fe-Cu-Cr-Ni-Ti-B system was microwaved to generate high entropy alloy matrix composites reinforced by TiB2 particles. The micro structure and reaction process of the composites were observed and investigated by modern analysis methods, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) analysis. The results show that AlFeCuCrNi /TiB2 composites can be prepared by microwave heating method. The matrix structure was FCC, and the reinforcement TiB2 showed regular geometric morphology in the matrix and evenly distributed in the matrix when the volume fraction of the reinforcement is 10%. When the volume fraction of the reinforcement increased to 15%, TiB2 partially aggregates in the matrix, and the system activation energy was 195.69 kJ/mol

Unified method for optimal power flow of AC/DC system with PET based on extended branch model
Compared to traditional transformer, power electronic transformer (PET) has a better control ability as it can manage the terminal power independently. This makes it very promising for modern power distribution systems with high penetration of renewable energy. However, the unique structure of PET increases the coupling between AC and DC network, which enhances the complexity of the traditional alternating iterative method in an AC–DC network. Since the structure of PET is based on power electronics, the power losses will influence the OPF results and have to be taken into account. This paper proposes a novel extension branch model with an accurate PET power loss model that can solve the AC–DC power flow problem in a unified way. In this method, a branch model of PET with power loss is first established. The AC and DC branches are then combined to generate an extended branch model of the whole AC–DC network. An AC–DC hybrid test system connected by two 3-port PET is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model via simulations. The results show that this method has a superior convergence speed than the alternating iterative model
Classification of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using Significance Analysis of Microarray-Gene Set Reduction Algorithm
Among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), adenocarcinoma (AC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are two major histology subtypes, accounting for roughly 40% and 30% of all lung cancer cases, respectively. Since AC and SCC differ in their cell of origin, location within the lung, and growth pattern, they are considered as distinct diseases. Gene expression signatures have been demonstrated to be an effective tool for distinguishing AC and SCC. Gene set analysis is regarded as irrelevant to the identification of gene expression signatures. Nevertheless, we found that one specific gene set analysis method, significance analysis of microarray-gene set reduction (SAMGSR), can be adopted directly to select relevant features and to construct gene expression signatures. In this study, we applied SAMGSR to a NSCLC gene expression dataset. When compared with several novel feature selection algorithms, for example, LASSO, SAMGSR has equivalent or better performance in terms of predictive ability and model parsimony. Therefore, SAMGSR is a feature selection algorithm, indeed. Additionally, we applied SAMGSR to AC and SCC subtypes separately to discriminate their respective stages, that is, stage II versus stage I. Few overlaps between these two resulting gene signatures illustrate that AC and SCC are technically distinct diseases. Therefore, stratified analyses on subtypes are recommended when diagnostic or prognostic signatures of these two NSCLC subtypes are constructed

A Deep Learning-Based Classification Scheme for False Data Injection Attack Detection in Power System
A smart grid improves power grid efficiency by using modern information and communication technologies. However, at the same time, due to the dependence on information technology and the deep integration of electrical components and computing information in cyber space, the system might become increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Among various emerging security problems, a false data injection attack (FDIA) is a new type of attack against the state estimation. In this article, a deep learning-based identification scheme is developed to detect and mitigate information corruption. The scheme implements a conditional deep belief network (CDBN) to analyze time-series input data and leverages captured features to detect the FDIA. The performance of our detection mechanism is validated by using the IEEE 14-bus test system for simulation. Different attack scenarios and parameters are set to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed scheme. Compared with the artificial neural network (ANN) and the support vector machine (SVM), the experimental analyses indicate that the results of our detection mechanism are better than those of the other two in terms of FDIA detection accuracy and robustness
An Edge Visual Incremental Perception Framework Based on Deep Semi-supervised Learning for Monitoring Power Transmission Lines
Underestimated Dry Season Methane Emissions from Wetlands in the Pantanal
Tropical wetlands
contribute ∼30% of the global methane
(CH4) budget. Limited observational constraints on tropical
wetland CH4 emissions lead to large uncertainties and disparities
in representing emissions. In this work, we combine remote sensing
observations with atmospheric and wetland models to investigate dry
season wetland CH4 emissions from the Pantanal region of
South America. We incorporate inundation maps generated from the Cyclone
Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) satellite constellation
together with traditional inundation maps to generate an ensemble
of wetland CH4 emission realizations. We challenge these
realizations with daily satellite observations for May–July
when wetland CH4 emission predictions diverge. We find
that the CYGNSS inundation products predict larger emissions in May,
in better agreement with observations. We use the model ensemble to
generate an empirical observational constraint on CH4 emissions
independent of choice of inundation map, finding large dry season
wetland CH4 emissions (31.7 ± 13.6 and 32.0 ±
20.2 mg CH4/m2/day in May and June/July during
2018/2019, respectively). These May/June/July emissions are 2–3
times higher than current models, suggesting that annual wetland emissions
may be higher than traditionally simulated. Observed trends in the
early dry season indicate that dynamics during this period are of
importance in representing tropical wetland CH4 behaviors
