Experimental Study of Volumetric Fracturing Properties for Shale under Different Stress States by Hongjian Wang, Jin Li, Fei Zhao, Jinyu Dong, Yanzong Cui, Wanlin Gong

“…Additionally, when the lateral in situ stress difference coefficient is smaller, the rock specimen has an evident trend to form more complex cracks. When the shale rock was subjected to lateral disturbance loads, the critical failure strength was approximately 10 MPa less than that in the state of constant loading, indicating that the specimen with disturbance loads is more likely to be fractured. …”

Independent aggregation in the nordic day-ahead market: What is the welfare impact of socializing supplier compensation payments? by Kārlis Baltputnis, Tim Schittekatte, Zane Broka

“…The optimal share of the socialization of the compensation that leads to the highest net consumer benefit depends on many factors, among which the assumptions around activation costs of DR are the most evident. Nevertheless, we argue that the socialization of the supplier compensation should be at least conditional upon the level of the hourly wholesale price (i.e., a “threshold price”) and on DR cost estimates. …”
