Impact of DG Configuration on Maximum Use of Load Supply Capability in Distribution Power Systems by Hong Liu, Yinchang Guo, Shaoyun Ge, Mingxin Zhao

“…It resolves the planning problem through three steps: (i) two LSC models considering DGs’ access are developed, in which two different transfer strategies are considered: direct load transfer and indirect load transfer; (ii) the method of combined simple method and point estimate method is proposed. At last, based on a base case, when the configuration of DGs is changing, the impact of DGs on system LSC is studied. …”

An Investigation into the Variability of Luminous Blue Variable Stars with TESS by Becca Spejcher, Noel D. Richardson, Herbert Pablo, Marina Beltran, Payton Butler, Eddie Avila

“…We analyze the Fourier properties of the stellar light curves to determine their characteristic frequencies and red noise amplitudes, comparing them to mass-loss parameters through H α strength, and in the case of the LMC stars, B  −  V color and luminosity as estimated by their apparent g magnitudes. We confirm the absence of correlation between any of the Fourier parameters and stellar parameters, implying that there is no trend in how these stars vary as measured with these photometric data, which may point toward these stars being an extension to the supergiant α Cygni variables and not a unique class of object with regards to their short-term variations.…”
