Analysis of Transient Voltage Stability in a Low Voltage Distribution Network Using SST for the Integration of Distributed Generations by Sheng Li, Zhihao Zhou, Qiqi Shan, Jiani An

“…The results show that, comparing with the conventional system, the SST has apparent advantages on enhancing the transient voltage stability of load bus while facing different disturbances, even though SST has to regulate the voltage passively. Short circuit faults at different location of the grid-side line have different effects on the transient voltage stability, while the effect of disconnection fault is not related to fault location. …”

Application of the Correlation Velocity Measurements for Hydrodynamic Investigations of Turbulent Coolant Flow in Nuclear Reactor Elements by I. A. Konovalov, A. E. Khrobostov, M. A. Legchanov, D. N. Solncev, A. A. Barinov, A. V. Ryazanov, A. A. Chesnokov, M. A. Makarov

“…The aim of this work was to apply a correlation method based on the conductometric measurement system with wire-mesh sensors for measuring a coolant flow rate.Insignificant concentration of a salt solution (NaCl or Na2SO4 ) creates a gradient of the conductivity in the flow, which is used as a passive scalar measured by the system. Authors used turbulent pulsations at the interface of two concurrent flows with identical velocities in a square channel as a signal source for the correlation method. …”

Impact of climate change on high wind and solar optimal mixes and system costs: the case of France by J. Delort Ylla, A. Tantet, P. Drobinski

“…To the contrary of previous literature, we find that the sole impact of climate change has no adverse consequences on system total costs, with adaptation measures being less attractive economically than their passive counterparts. This highlights the importance of specifying the working hypotheses and phenomena taken into account when issuing policymaking advice, and calls for further research exploring how combining all processes related to climate change impact all relevant elements of the electricity generation sector. …”
