Study of power flow control by unified power flow controller by Yam, Chien Meng

“…Traditionally systems were designed with fixed or mechanically switched series and/or shunt reactive compensations, together with voltage-regulating and phase-shifting transformer, to optimize line impedance, voltage variation, and power flow control under steady state or slowly changing load conditions. In recent years, energy, environment, right-of-way, and capital cost issues have delayed the construction of both generation facilities and new transmission lines, while the demand f o relectric power has continued to grow. …”

Impact of dust deposition on PV performance and hotspot generation: I-V and thermal analysis with SEM and UV-VIS-NIR by Islam, Md. Imamul, Mohd Shawal, Jadin, Al Mansur, Ahmed

“…Spectroscopic analysis using UV-VIS-NIR techniques demonstrated that the dust exhibited strong ultraviolet light absorption, moderate absorption in the visible range around 450 nm wavelength, and relatively low absorption in the near-infrared region. Morphological examination through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) unveiled irregularly shaped dust particles with varying size distributions, while energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) identified carbon, oxygen, aluminum, and silicon as major elemental constituents contributing to light absorption and scattering effects. …”

Climate projections for Himalaya–Tibetan Highland by Bhuyan, Debi P., Salunke, Popat, Chadha, Meera

“…On the contrary, the multi-model mean of 8 best models (MM8) could simulate the spatial distributions better than MMM by alleviating the wet biases (~2 mm day−1) over the southern and eastern HTH, whilst no significant improvement is noted in near surface temperature (Tas). The simulated decreasing (increasing) trends for Tas (precipitation) are found to be less satisfactory in both the MMMs. …”

Iridium Oxide Coordinatively Unsaturated Active Sites Govern the Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Water by Velasco Vélez, Juan Jesús, Bernsmeier, Denis, Mom, Rik V., Zeller, Patrick, Shao‐Horn, Yang, Roldan Cuenya, Beatriz, Knop‐Gericke, Axel, Schlögl, Robert, Jones, Travis E.

“…By combining <jats:italic>operando</jats:italic> resonant photoemission measurements of different films with ab initio simulations these are able to unambiguously distinguish µ<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>‐O (bridging oxygen) and µ<jats:sub>1</jats:sub>‐O (terminal oxygen) in the near‐surface regions of the catalysts. The intrinsic activity of iridium oxide scales with the formation of µ<jats:sub>1</jats:sub>‐O (terminal oxygen) is found. …”
