Resilient power systems operation with offshore wind farms and cloud data centers by Liu, Shengwei, Li, Yuanzheng, Liu, Xuan, Zhao, Tianyang, Wang, Peng

“…To enhance the resilience of power systems with offshore wind farms (OWFs), a proactive scheduling scheme is proposed to unlock the flexibility of cloud data centers (CDCs) responding to uncertain spatial and temporal impacts induced by hurricanes. The total life simulation (TLS) is adopted to project the local weather conditions at transmission lines and OWFs, before, during, and after the hurricane. …”

π-fused diazocines with controllable photoswitching properties as molecular tweezers by Yuan, Wei, Wu, Mengjiao, Qian, Cheng, Guo, Jingjing, Wu, Yinglong, He, Ting, Wei, Haipeng, Chen, Xiaokai, Wang, Dongdong, Liu, Jiawei, Zhao, Yue, Wang, Shihuai, Yang, Jie, Zhang, Zhongzheng, Chen, Yulan, Zhao, Yanli

“…The size of their π-extension exerted a significant influence on the isomerization process, whereby the biggest fourfold ring-closure diazocine (BAZO-3) showed the fastest conversion rate (Z → E). Notably, the half-life (t1/2) of the E isomer of BAZO-3 was 14.6 times higher than that of the twofold ring-closure BAZO-1. …”
