While many simple salts such as MgSO₄⋅7H₂O have been investigated thoroughly, there remains much work to be done in the domain of materials that take advantage of synergetic effects of multiple different cations located in the same crystal. To this end, a solid solution library of divalent metal sulfates of the formula M_1-xM²_xSO₄·nH₂O (M, M² = Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) has been synthesized. Following X-ray powder diffraction to confirm phase purity, scanning electron microscopy provided insight into particle morphology. One of the most conspicuous features was the presence of star-shaped cracks in some of the materials, which may contribute to increased surface area and enhance reaction kinetics. The simultaneous thermal analysis of the mixed salt sulfates led to several conclusions. Corresponding to the high initial dehydration barrier of NiSO₄⋅6H₂O, incorporation of nickel into other sulfates led to lower degrees of dehydration at low temperatures. The opposite effect was observed with the addition of copper. Of great interest was the surprisingly facile dehydration of hydrated Mg_0.25Zn_0.75SO₄, which exceeded that of both pure MgSO₄⋅7H₂O and ZnSO₄⋅7H₂O. This promising compound is one representative of three different compounds with 75 % zinc which all have the highest dehydration activity up to 100 °C of all compounds in the series of hydrates of M_1-xZn_xSO₄·nH₂O (M = Mg, Ni, Cu).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100897,"journal":{"name":"Measurement: Energy","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100027"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142756663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, parameters such as voltage, current, active and reactive powers, and frequency referred to the AC side need to be controlled. The local load could be operated either from converter itself or grid, hence the system could be called microgrid. In this paper, the active and reactive powers would be controlled separately when the inverter is connected to the grid. While in the islanded or autonomous mode, the proposed control would support the voltage and frequency. The proposed controller would be designed and function as the synchronous machine's voltage regulator and governor. The virtual synchronous machine is adopted to obtain the inertia and the concept is that the frequency of the grid is linked to the virtual frequency or so called the virtual speed of the rotor. The virtual frequency is obtained directly from the DC bus voltage of the inverter and this is achieved by allowing the DC link capacitor voltage to swing boarder than the grid frequency by making the capacitor voltage imitating frequency of grid. Where the frequency of grid is associated to the virtual frequency which is derived directly from DC capacitor voltage, thus, large level of inertia is extracted.

The objective is to optimize lubrication conditions to enhance performance, improve energy consumption, and maximize lubrication efficiency for rolling bearings in a centrifugal fan. The simulation utilizes ANSYS CFX software, MATLAB programming. The optimal oil viscosity grade is determined based on two objectives by using artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC): minimizing energy consumption (thus reducing CO₂ emission) and achieving the optimal oil film thickness and viscosity ratio. The findings reveal that, under the current lubrication conditions and normal fan operation, energy losses due to oil friction amount to 36.3 MWh per year, with CO₂ emissions resulting from power losses reaching 18,750 kg per year.

The recommended PMU-based approach incorporates the optimal number of DGs into the distribution network for load flow analysis. Testing this technique on 12-bus, 33-bus, and 69-bus networks yielded substantial gains. For example, power loss was 81.044 % lower in the 33-bus system and 79.256 % lower in the 69-bus test system compared to the base-case scenario.

To reduce the time-to-market, application-specific accelerated lifetime tests are conducted. The test conditions must be carefully designed and controlled, both the test environment and load profile. During the lifetime test, measurable properties of the cell, most commonly the capacity and internal resistance, are tracked by a reference performance test (RPT). The frequency of RPTs is a variable of the number of test cycles or time. Setting the wrong frequency for the RPT results in either too many RPTs or, in the worst case, too few. To mitigate this issue, a test object capacity-driven approach has been developed. This new method is described and demonstrated in this article conducting the RPTs based on the cycling capacity of the cell. The method ensured the desired numbers of RPTs during the test period at the selected intervals corresponding to steps of 1% capacity loss.
