Achieving high strength, plasticity and conductivity in Cu/Cu-graphene oxide laminated composites with extremely low content of graphene oxide by Yan Zhao, Jiajing Liu, Yubo Zhang, Xin Sun, Wei Wang, Tingju Li

“…Herein, the laminated structure is applied to reduce the overall mass fraction of graphene oxide (GO) and the Cu/Cu-GO laminated composites are designed and prepared through plastic deformation under simple conditions. The pinning effect of GO at grain boundaries results in dislocations accumulation, which provides the driving force for strain-induced grain boundary migration and achieves a good interfacial bonding between Cu and Cu-GO layers. …”

Data-driven modeling of the aggregator-based price-maker virtual power plant (VPP) in the day-ahead wholesale electricity markets; evidence from the Japan Electric power Exchange (... by Mohamed Saad Suliman, Hooman Farzaneh

“…This study hypothesizes that many regulated electricity markets in developing countries are not prepared to undertake major and long-term reforms to deregulate their electricity sectors. Thus, it proposes a comprehensive modeling framework based on aggregating the complete set of energy supply and demand resources into a unified virtual power plant (VPP) to dynamically price electricity based on market equilibrium. …”
