Wind energy has been considered as an important substitution of fossil-based energy for future society. However large-scale integration of wind power will introduce great risks to both power system planning and operation due to its stochastic nature. By adopting power system reliability theory,...

In the present work the field synergy principle is applied to the optimization design of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger with segmental baffles. The field synergy number which is defined as the indicator of the synergy between the velocity field and the heat flow is taken as the objective...

In this study, two types of coals were used as the reburning fuel to investigate the influence of the reburning zone stoichiometry SR2, the primary NO level and the particle size on NO reduction. For both coals, the NO reduction can reach as high as 60-70% in the tested SR2 range of 0.7-1.1. No...

A short-term electricity market is usually composed of the energy market and ancillary service market. However, wind power is not allowed to be traded in ancillary service markets although it has been proven technically feasible to be regulation services. This paper aims to explore the market...

The evolution of mobile is reshaping the future of communication in the digital age. This report identifies emerging patterns of mobile communication and the factors that are shaping its future, including its societal implications. This analysis is used to speculate on alternative scenarios for...

We propose an auction-based mechanism to improve the efficiency of low earth orbit satellite communication systems. The mechanism allows the ground stations to bid for downlink resources such as spectrum, satellite links, or radios, without the need to send channel status back to satellites....
