The large-scale integration of renewable power generators in power grids may cause complex technical issues, which could hinder their hosting capacity. In this context, the mitigation of the grid voltage fluctuations represents one of the main issues to address. Although different control paradigms, based on both local and global computing, could be deployed for online voltage regulation in active power networks, the identification of the most effective approach, which is influenced by the available computing resources, and the required control performance, is still an open problem. To face this issue, in this paper, the mathematical backbone, the expected performance, and the architectural requirements of a novel decentralized control paradigm based on dynamic agents are analyzed. Detailed simulation results obtained in a realistic case study are presented and discussed to prove the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed method.

The injection of hydrogen into the natural gas network can contribute to the large-scale integration of renewables, as hydrogen can be easily produced through electrolysis from wind or solar energy. However, the addition of hydrogen to natural gas influences fuel properties, asking for the assessment of the safe and efficient operation of existing end-user equipment, such as domestic burners and boilers. In this work, 3-dimensional resolved numerical simulations based on Computational Fluid Dynamics are carried out to shed light on the effect of H2 addition on the combustion process occurring in condensing boilers equipped with perforated cylindrical burners. To this purpose, multi-hole geometries emulating a portion of a perforated burner are analyzed. Since the burner holes are positioned very close to each other, the interaction of the adjacent laminar premixed flames is observed to occur with influence on the flow and thermo-chemical fields which differ from those of a single premixed flame. The addition of hydrogen was found to lead to an anticipation of the reaction zone, although the general features observed with the G222 gas (23% H2, 77% CH4 ) were alike those of the G20 gas (100% CH4).

NREL and research partner GE are conducting the Western Wind and Solar Integration Study (WWSIS) in order to provide insight into the costs and operational impacts caused by the variability and uncertainty of wind, photovoltaic, and concentrated solar power employed to serve up to 35% of the load energy in the WestConnect region (Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming). The heart of the WWSIS is an hourly cost production simulation of the balancing areas in the study footprint using GE’s Multi-Area Production Simulation Model (MAPS). The estimated 2017 load being served is 60 GW, with up to 30 GW of wind power and 4 GW of existing hydropower. Because hydropower generators are inherently flexible and often combined with reservoir storage, they play an important role in balancing load with generation. However, these hydropower facilities serve multiple higher priority functions that constrain their use for system balancing. Through a series of comparisons of the MAPS simulations, it was possible to deduce the value of hydropower as an essential balancing resource. Several case comparisons were performed demonstrating the potential benefits of hydro and to ascertain if the modeled data was within the defined hydro parameters and constraints. The results, methodologies, and conclusions of these comparisons are discussed, including how the hydro system is affected by the wind power for different wind forecasts and penetration levels, identifying the magnitude and character of change in generation pattern at each of the selected hydro facilities. Results from this study will focus on the appropriate benefits that hydropower can provide as a balancing resource including adding value to wind and solar and reducing system operating costs to nearly one billion dollars when offsetting more expensive generation systems as large penetration levels of renewable, especially wind power, are introduced to the grid system.

And Function

Plants seem to be rather defenceless, they are unable to do motion, have no nervous system or immune system unlike animals. Besides this, plants do have hormones, though these substances are produced not in glands. In view of their complexity they lagged behind animals, however, plant organisms show large scale integration in their structure and function. In higher plants, such as in animals, the intercellular communication is fulfilled through chemical messengers. These specific compounds in plants are called phytohormones, or in a wide sense, bioregulators. Even a small quantity of these endogenous organic compounds are able to regulate the operation, growth and development of higher plants, and keep the connection between cells, tissues and synergy beween organs. Since they do not have nervous and immume systems, phytohormones play essential role in plants’ life. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(26), 1011–1018.
