Extended properties of nonlinear power system models that are symmetrically configured in the narrow sense by Elior Segev, Vladimir Zhuk, Elinor Ginzburg-Ganz, Juri Belikov, Yoash Levron

“…Three-phase circuits that are Symmetrically Configured in the Narrow Sense (SCNS) have been defined in previous works as circuits which dq0 dynamic model does not depend on the transformation’s reference angle. This property leads to dynamic models that are linear and time-invariant in the dq0 reference frame, or at least suitable for low-complexity numerical analysis, which is crucial when studying large-scale power systems. …”

Modification of Cellulose by Esterification Crosslinking to Manipulate Its Microstructure for Enhanced Sodium Storage in Hard Carbon by Xingyun Zhang, Yue Hu, Yan Wang, Ming Li, Cuiying Lu, Shixiong Sun, Junwei Lang

“…The active hydroxyl group of cellulose plays a crucial role in regulating the microstructure of cellulose-derived hard carbon, which ultimately affects its sodium storage capacity. Through small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, we proved that modification of cellulose by esterification crosslinking can introduce more closed pores into the carbonized hard carbon, which is beneficial for promoting sodium ion storage. …”

Dynamic Response Analysis of Dowel-Slot Grouting Assembly Station under earthquake action by Guanhua Cui, Tao Yang, KunJie Tang, Jiawei Xu, Yuwei Zhang, Junling Qiu

“…Compared with the traditional cast-in-place station, the assembly station has obvious advantages in vertical seismic performance, but the horizontal seismic ability is relatively weak, and the difference of the displacement Angle between layers is 20%~60%. Compared with the difference of 46.43% in the maximum seismic stress and 28.51% in the vertical seismic time, the difference of 58.02% in the coupled seismic action shows that the stress concentration is more obvious. …”
