Nanostructure-Based Solid-State Energy Storage through Hydrogen Trapping in Batteries Using Materials Modelling TechniqueAbstract A comprehensive investigation on hydrogen grabbing by SiO-GeO was carried out, including DFT computations at the CAM-B3LYP-D3/6-311+G (d,p) level of theory. The data shows that if silicon elements are replaced by germanium, the H-grabbing energy will be ameliorated. Electromagnetic and thermodynamic [...] 224 1317 |
Security Length Associated with the Risk of Ammonia Tank Leak Using CTOA Criterion and ALOHA SoftwareAbstract Ammonia is a toxic gas and can cause tragic consequences for humans. The damage level depends on concentration and duration of exposure. The security length associated with the risk of a tank leak at the acute exposure level of 30 ppm (AEGL-1) has been computed. Two tools have been combined: the CTO [...] 230 1412 |
An Application of Excess Solar and Storage Capacity Optimization for Grid Servicesby
Maxim Rusakov
and
Faraz Farhidi
Abstract This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency of utility demand response (DR) operations by coordinating and integrating behind-the-meter (BTM) photovoltaic systems (PV) and energy storage (ES) using innovative machine learning software applications embedded in a distributed control arc [...] 231 1632 |
Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System for Generating Energy to Dairy Farm ActivitiesAbstract Minas Gerais is the leading milk-producing state in Brazil, and many dairy activities are supplied with electricity by the cable aerial network of the electrical energy state company. Given that the Brazilian energy matrix relies primarily on hydroelectric power, studies on the potential [...] 290 1855 |
Probabilistic Modeling of Cyber-Physical Microgrid Systems to Evaluate the Reliability and Resiliency Implications of Cyber Attacksby
Rajesh Karki
and
Binamra Adhikari
Abstract The integration of cyber and physical layer of the grid has not only introduced a microscopic spectacle to observe and ensure the efficient flow of electricity but has also exposed the interdependencies of the network. These cyber-physical interdependencies are often exploited in the form of cyber-a [...] 361 2245 |

Abstract In this study, -antimony sulfide (SnSb2S5) thin films with 200 nm, 312 nm, and 431 nm thicknesses were successfully fabricated using thermal evaporation. These films' structural, optical, and photoanode properties were meticulously characterized to assess their suitability for photovoltaic applicati [...] 286 2027 |
The Effect of the Addition of Titanium Dioxide on Silicone Self-Adhesive TapesAbstract The investigation aimed to delve into the intricate relationship between the presence of titanium dioxide and the resulting alterations in the adhesive's behavior under different conditions. The focus extended beyond mere observation to understand how these additives interact with the adhesive matri [...] 474 3131 |
Building Blocks for an Energy TransitionAbstract The present need for an energy transition in the wake of a global climate catastrophe led to the “EU green deal” which requires a transition of the energy system in all countries. This study aimis survey aims to identify strategies within such an energy transition based on global trend analyses and [...] 503 3883 |
