Distribution Network Voltage Control Based on Coordinated Optimization of PV and Air-Conditioning by Qi Wang, Bin Lu, Xiaobo Dou, Yichao Sun, Jin Liu

“…As a result, the shortage of the PVs’ reactive power control capability is compensated by the adjustable air-conditioning loads, so that the waste of the photovoltaic power can be reduced or even avoided. The case study using an IEEE standard 33-node system, which is further updated with the installation of 5 PV generators and 5 air-conditioning loads, validates the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.…”

Electronic Origin of Defect States in Fe-Doped LiNbO3 Ferroelectrics by Yuji Noguchi, Ryotaro Inoue, Masaru Miyayama

“…We show that Fe2+ on the Li site (Fe2+Li) features a displacement opposite to the direction of spontaneous polarization and acts as a trigger for the bulk photovoltaic (PV) effect. In contrast to Fe3+ on the Li site that forms the defect states (1e, a, and 2e) below the conduction band minimum, the reduction from Fe3+ to Fe2+ accompanied by a lattice relaxation markedly lowers only the a state (dz2) owing to a strong orbital hybridization with Nb-4d. …”
