Chance-constrained optimal schedule of battery energy storage considering the uncertainties of renewable generation by Zhi Li, Dawei Xie, Haifeng Ye, Yujun Li, Jinzhong Li, Yichi Chen, Yue Yang

“…Since renewable energy generation has strong uncertainties and pure conventional unit dispatch schemes are limited by the unit-operating capacities, such scheduling is inapplicable for power systems with high proportions of renewable energy sources (RESs). We propose an optimal scheduling model for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) by considering the uncertainties of RESs. …”

Monte Carlo Simulation and Experimental Validation for Radiation Protection with Multiple Complex Source Terms and Deep Penetration for a Radioactive Liquid Waste Cementation Facil... by Wenqian Li, Xuegang Liu, Sheng Fang, Xueliang Fu, Kaiqiang Guo

“…From both of the Monte Carlo simulation and the experimental measurement, it can be drawn that, in the horizontal direction, with the increase of the drum number, the dose rate increases very little, while in the vertical direction, the increase of the dose rate is very obvious with the increase of the drum number. The complicated source term sampling methods, the optimization algorithm and variance reduction techniques, and the experimental verification can provide valuable references for the similar scattering problem in radiation protection and shielding design.…”
