Siting and Sizing of Energy Storage Systems: Towards a Unified Approach for Transmission and Distribution System Operators for Reserve Provision and Grid Support

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Paola Pongiglione

This paper presents a method to determine the optimal location, energy capacity, and power rating of distributed battery energy storage systems at multiple voltage levels to accomplish grid control and reserve provision. We model operational scenarios at a ...

Supply-Power-Constrained Cable Capacity Maximization Using Multi-Layer Neural Networks

Erixhen Sula

We experimentally solve the problem of maximizing capacity under a total supply power constraint in a massively parallel submarine cable context, i.e., for a spatially uncoupled system in which fiber Kerr nonlinearity is not a dominant limitation. By using ...

Gondo Throttled Surge Tank Numerical Modeling and Design Review

Mona Seyfeddine

In order to increase the installed capacity, the refurbishment of Gondo high-head power plant required a modification of the existing surge tank by installing a throttle at its entrance. In a previous study, the geometry of this throttle was optimized by p ...

The Delivery of alpha 1-Antitrypsin Therapy Through Transepidermal Route: Worthwhile to Explore

Florian Maria Wurm

Human alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) is an abundant acute phase glycoprotein expressing anti-protease and immunomodulatory activities, and is used as a biopharmaceutical to treat patients with inherited AAT deficiency. The pleiotropic properties of AAT provide ...

Performance potential of gas foil thrust bearings enhanced with spiral grooves

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

The upscaling of turbomachinery using gas foil thrust bearings is limited because of their limited load capacity and the thermal issues linked with very thin film thickness. The improvement potential of spiral grooves manufactured on the top-foil of such b ...

Solar irradiance estimations for modeling the variability of photovoltaic generation and assessing violations of grid constraints: A comparison between satellite and pyranometers measurements with load flow simulations

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Enrica Scolari

Global horizontal irradiance (GHI) is typically used to model the power output of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation. On the one hand, satellite estimations are nonpervasive and already available from commercial providers, but they have a limited spa ...
