This Special Issue “Power System Simulation, Control and Optimization” offers valuable insights into the most recent research developments in these topics. The analysis, operation, and control of power systems are increasingly complex tasks that require advanced simulation models to analyze and control the effects of transformations concerning electricity grids today: Massive integration of renewable energies, progressive implementation of electric vehicles, development of intelligent networks, and progressive evolution of the applications of artificial intelligence.
Renewable Energy Integration for Bulk Power Systems: ERCOT and the Texas Interconnection looks at the practices and changes introduced in the Texas electric grid to facilitate renewable energy integration. It offers an informed perspective on solutions that have been successfully demonstrated, tested, and validated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to meet the key challenges which engineers face in integrating increased levels of renewable resources into existing electric grids while maintaining reliability. Coverage includes renewable forecasting, ancillary services, and grid and market operations. Proved methods and their particular use scenarios, including wind, solar, and other resources like batteries and demand response, are also covered. The book focuses on a real-world context that will help practicing engineers, utility providers, and researchers understand the practical considerations for developing renewable integration solutions and inspire the future development of more innovative strategies and theoretical underpinnings.
Genetic Optimization Techniques for Sizing and Management of Modern Power Systems explores the design and management of energy systems using a genetic algorithm as the primary optimization technique. Coverage ranges across topics related to resource estimation and energy systems simulation. Chapters address the integration of distributed generation, the management of electric vehicle charging, and microgrid dimensioning for resilience enhancement with detailed discussion and solutions using parallel genetic algorithms. The work is suitable for researchers and practitioners working in power systems optimization requiring information for systems planning purposes, seeking knowledge on mathemat...
Standalone (off-grid) renewable energy systems supply electricity in places where there is no access to a standard electrical grid. These systems may include photovoltaic generators, wind turbines, hydro turbines or any other renewable electrical generator. Usually, this kind of system includes electricity storage (commonly lead-acid batteries, but also other types of storage can be used). In some cases, a backup generator (usually powered by fossil fuel, diesel or gasoline) is part of the hybrid system. The modelling of the components, the control of the system and the simulation of the performance of the whole system are necessary to evaluate the system technically and economically. The optimization of the sizing and/or the control is also an important task in this kind of system.
The Energy Predicament: Exploring the Realities Behind Modern and Future Energy Solutions for Climate Change By: Jeremiah Cutright While the world is now actively transitioning to carbon-free energy sources due to climate change, there are substantial challenges that the public is not recognizing. The Energy Predicament sheds light on these issues and misconceptions so that readers can use their vote and their voice to push for progress that will not come with unintended consequences down the road.
Es indudable que la sociedad de la información se ha transformado a una velocidad de vértigo gracias al desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación, las conocidas como TIC, y su rápida implantación en las relaciones sociales, culturales y económicas de las personas, que permiten que tanto la transmisión como la recepción de la información pueda realizarse de manera ubicua, rompiendo cualquier barrera espacio-temporal. Ha quedado demostrada la efi cacia de las TIC para cambiar las actividades y hábitos de la sociedad en todos sus ámbitos. Este escenario ha modificado la sociedad del conocimiento, permitiendo utilizar esa información para su correcta in...
The Archives of Cuba/Los archivos de Cuba is the first comprehensive guide to the archival holdings and manuscript collections located throughout the fourteen provinces of Cuba, and each is identified with its local address. The collections hold a vast assortment of research materials from the sixteenth through the twentieth centuries. Records encompass family papers, government documents, parish collections, notary records, corporate papers, archives of private associations, personal collections, and much more. Sites listed include the Archivo Nacional, the Biblioteca Nacional Jose Marti, provincial archives, municipal archives and museums, parish archives, cemetery archives, and many others. The volume also provides a general descriptive inventory of each archival holding and manuscript collection. It is an indispensable reference tool for anyone conducting research on Cuban history or culture.
La repentina aparición de la pandemia producida por la COVID-19 a principios del año 2020 obligó a los centros educativos a acelerar, comenzar en algunos casos, una necesaria transformación digital en todos sus procesos, principalmente en el educativo. Dicha transformación debe ser más que una simple digitalización; conlleva también un análisis sobre hasta qué punto las tecnologías pueden transformar los procesos o llegar a cambiarlos completamente. En el contexto docente, esto requiere replantear o adaptar las metodologías, los contenidos, los procesos de evaluación, e incluso las tutorías. Ahora bien, esta evolución o transformación digital docente no empieza de cero: son m...
This book examines the ways in which Cuba's revolutions of 1933 and 1959 became touchstones for border-crossing endeavors of radical politics and cultural experimentation over the mid-twentieth century. It argues that new networks of solidarity building between US and Cuban allies also brought with them perils and pitfalls that could not be separated from the longer history of US empire in Cuba. As US and Cuban subjects struggled together towards common aspirations of racial and gender equality, fairer distribution of wealth, and anti-imperialism, they created a unique index of cultural work that widens our understanding of the transition between hemispheric modernism and postmodernism. Canvassing poetry, music, journalism, photographs, and other cultural expressions around themes of revolution, this book seeks new understanding of how race, gender, and nationhood could shift in meaning and materialization when traveling across the Florida Straits.
