New analytical approach revolutionizes reliability evaluation of power systems with renewable energy
2024-12-12
(Press-News.org)
In a recent study published in Engineering, a team of researchers led by Bo Hu and Changzheng Shao from Chongqing University in China has introduced a novel method for evaluating the real-time dynamic reliability of composite power systems integrated with renewable energy sources (RES). The research addresses the challenges posed by the uncertainties associated with RES, which have been a significant obstacle in ensuring the stable and reliable operation of power grids.
The increasing integration of RES, such as wind and solar power, into the power grid has brought about concerns regarding power imbalance and load shedding due to their inherent uncertainties. The new approach aims to provide a more accurate and timely assessment of the operational reliability of power systems, thereby guiding economic dispatch and reducing risks.
The proposed method consists of two key components: a uniform design (UD)-based contingency screening and a modified stochastic response surface method (mSRSM). The contingency screening technique is designed to identify critical contingencies while considering the uncertainties associated with RES and load variations. By reducing the number of contingencies that need to be analyzed, the computational complexity of the reliability evaluation is significantly decreased.
The mSRSM, on the other hand, is used to construct analytical functions that map the load shedding to the load and RES generation for the selected contingencies. This allows for a more efficient assessment of reliability when the load and RES change, eliminating the need for laborious optimal power flow (OPF) calculations.
The research team validated their approach through case studies on three power systems: the Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS), the Reliability Test System (RTS)-79, and the RST-96. The results demonstrated that the proposed method not only exhibited high accuracy in predicting reliability indices such as the loss of load probability (LOLP) and the expected demand not supplied (EDNS), but also significantly reduced the computational time compared to traditional methods.
This research represents a significant step forward in the field of power system reliability evaluation. By providing a more accurate and efficient means of assessing the reliability of power systems with RES, the new approach could have far-reaching implications for the future development and operation of sustainable power grids. It offers a practical solution for power system operators to better manage the uncertainties associated with renewable energy integration and ensure the reliable supply of electricity to consumers.

The future of breast cancer screening and risk-reducing strategies is being shaped by artificial intelligence (AI), according to a review article published by Cell Press on December 12 in the journal Trends in Cancer.
“We discuss recent advances in AI-assisted breast cancer risk prediction, what this means for the future of breast cancer screening and prevention, and the key research needed to progress mammographic features from research into clinical practice,” says senior study author Erik Thompson of the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia.

Virtually every cell in the human body has an internal clock. These clocks take their cues from a central clock in the brain. In a normal, biological process called synchrony, the central clock coordinates daily rhythms around the body, so that every cell and tissue recognizes the same external time of day.
Knowing local time helps our bodies to regulate essential processes, including when to sleep and wake, when to eat and what temperature to maintain, among many other important functions.
But a deadly interloper is keeping time the same ...

About The Study: From 2008-2020, teachers reported an increase in emotional/mental health and suicide prevention in schools, along with related teacher training. However, they reported a decrease in substance use prevention, particularly among middle schools, and no change in teacher training. Substance use during early adolescence is associated with risk for long-term addiction, and middle schools may be underused for prevention.

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth – including a gene inherited from Neanderthals – have been identified by a team co-led by UCL researchers.
In a new paper published in Current Biology, scientists found substantial tooth differences between ethnicities, potentially due in part to a gene inherited from Neanderthals that was only found in study participants of European origin.
Co-lead author Dr Kaustubh Adhikari (UCL Genetics, Evolution & Environment and The Open University) said: “Teeth ...

Whether they’re lifelong buddies or recently connected, close to home or miles away, a new poll shows the key role that friends play in the lives and wellbeing of adults aged 50 and older.
But it also reveals some challenges for those who have physical health or mental health issues – suggesting it may be important for them connect with existing friends or make new friends.
In all, 90% of people aged 50 and older say they have at least one close friend, and 75% say they have enough close friends, ...

Excessive screen use by preschool-age children can lead to reduced sleep quality, exacerbating problems such as poor attention, hyperactivity and unstable mood, a new study suggests.
Peer-reviewed findings published in Early Child Development and Care show how screen time is “significantly” correlated with increased hyperactive attention problems and emotional symptoms, and with decreased sleep quality.
Additionally, the research – carried out by experts in China and Canada – demonstrates how sleep quality is also extensively correlated with decreased hyperactive attention problems, emotional symptoms and peer problems.
The findings ...

Sweetpotatoes are an agricultural powerhouse that feeds millions globally. However, their complex genetics make it challenging for breeders to understand and improve traits like yield, disease resistance, and nutritional content. A new study reveals insights into the significance of leveraging “allele dosages” in sweetpotato breeding practices.
“Sweetpotatoes are hexaploid, meaning they have six copies of each chromosome, unlike diploid crops like tomato or rice, which have two," explained Zhangjun Fei, a professor at the Boyce Thompson Institute and one of the study's lead authors. “This genetic ...

DILI is broadly categorized into intrinsic and idiosyncratic types. Intrinsic hepatotoxins, such as APAP, cause dose-dependent injury, while idiosyncratic DILI involves complex immune and metabolic interactions that remain poorly understood. Mechanistic studies of intrinsic hepatotoxins have revealed oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction as key contributors to injury. Historically, LPO and iron-catalyzed free radical generation were central to understanding DILI, but the focus shifted toward apoptosis in the late 20th century.
