A novel adaptive droop-based SoC balancing control strategy for distributed energy storage system in DC microgrid by Liangliang Guo, Xinrui Liu, Xinyu Li, Rui Wang, Hanwen Ren, Zhiliang Wang, Qiuye Sun

“…In the primary control layer, a novel adaptive droop SoC balancing controller (ADSB) is designed to realize the adaptive change of droop coefficient by establishing the real-time relationship between SoC value and droop coefficient, so as to promote the SoC balance among distributed energy storage units (DESUs). In addition, based on the characteristics of hyperbolic tangent function (tanh), an adaptive acceleration term is introduced to further improve the balancing speed of SoC. …”

Multiscale modeling of reservoir systems using geostatistical methods by Chihi, Hayet, Hammami, Mohamed Amin, Mezni, Imen, Belayouni, Habib, Ben Mammou, Abdallah

“…This provides a detailed input for the geostatistical modeling procedures that enabled to precisely capture the varying extent and shape of the hydrogeological units at regional scale.Geophysical data, available along the Jeffara plain, were added as a complement to the Jeffara geodatabase and used to establish the fault network and to build a local architectural model of the coastal aquifer system, based on time-to-depth conversion using kriging with external drift.The results have allowed (i) a major update of the geological configuration of the Jeffara basin, (ii) more precision on the geometries and extent of the stratigraphic sequences and (iii) an accurate prediction of the main characteristics of water reservoirs, i.e. their occurrence, thickness, facies and dynamic properties variation at the basin and reservoir scale. …”

TEC Map Completion Using DCGAN and Poisson Blending by Yang Pan, Mingwu Jin, Shunrong Zhang, Yue Deng

“…For the cross‐validation experiment using the realistic mask from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)‐TEC data (~52% missing data), DCGAN‐PB achieves the average root mean squared error about three absolute TEC units (TECu) for high solar activity years and less than two TECu for low solar activity years, which is about 50% reduction of means and more than 50% reduction on standard deviations compared to two conventional single‐image inpainting methods. …”
