An Exchange Mechanism to Coordinate Flexibility in Residential Energy Cooperatives
Energy cooperatives (ECs) such as residential and industrial microgrids have
the potential to mitigate increasing fluctuations in renewable electricity
generation, but only if their joint response is coordinated. However, the
coordination and control of independently operated flexible resources (e.g.,
storage, demand response) imposes critical challenges arising from the
heterogeneity of the resources, conflict of interests, and impact on the grid.
Correspondingly, overcoming these challenges with a general and fair yet
efficient exchange mechanism that coordinates these distributed resources will
accommodate renewable fluctuations on a local level, thereby supporting the
energy transition. In this paper, we introduce such an exchange mechanism. It
incorporates a payment structure that encourages prosumers to participate in
the exchange by increasing their utility above baseline alternatives. The
allocation from the proposed mechanism increases the system efficiency
(utilitarian social welfare) and distributes profits more fairly (measured by
Nash social welfare) than individual flexibility activation. A case study
analyzing the mechanism performance and resulting payments in numerical
experiments over real demand and generation profiles of the Pecan Street
dataset elucidates the efficacy to promote cooperation between co-located
flexibilities in residential cooperatives through local exchange.Comment: Accepted in IEEE ICIT 201
MOCCCDTA-based Current Mode Tunable Universal Biquad Filter for Bluetooth Applications
In the last decade, there has been much effort to reduce the supply voltage of electronic circuits due to the demand for portable and battery-powered equipment. Since a low-voltage operating circuit becomes necessary, the current-mode technique is ideally suited for this purpose more than the voltage-mode one. In this paper, performance of multi output current controlled current differencing transconductance amplifier (MOCCCDTA) is evaluated using 180nm, 90nm and 45nm CMOS technology. It is found that the 45nm CMOS-basedMOCCCDTA provides highest frequency i.e. 33GHz. Further a Universal biquad filter has been designed using a single MOCCCDTA as an active element and two capacitors. Filter offers high frequency in GHz. Tunability of all the filter outputs with respect to a bias current has been analyzed. The tunability of the filter circuit for Bluetooth applications is also shown in this work. The performances of MOCCCDTA circuit and Universal biquad filter are illustrated by HSPICE. The simulation results are found to be in agreement with the theoretical predictions
Anti-Markovnikov opening of trisubstituted epoxy alcohols: application in the synthesis of 2-methyl-1,3-diols
2-Methyl-1,3-diols are synthesized by regioselectively opening trisubstituted epoxides, prepared from 2-methylbut-2- en-1-ols at the more substituted carbon using Cp2TiCl- cyclohexa-1,4-diene
