Such an assessment is increasingly vital nowadays as ESS is recognized as one of the important equipment in power systems to reduce peak demands for deferring or avoiding augmentation in the network and power generation. As the battery cost is still very high at present, a comprehensive assessment is necessary to determine the optimal capacity of ESS so that the maximum financial gain is achievable at the end of the batteries’ lifespan. Therefore, an effective life-cycle assessment is proposed in this paper to show how the optimum capacity of ESS can be determined such that the maximum net financial gain is achievable at the end of the batteries’ lifespan when ESS is used to perform peak demand reductions for the customer or utility companies. The findings reveal the positive financial viability of ESS on the power grid, otherwise the projection of the financial viability is often seemingly poor due to the high battery cost with a short battery lifespan. An improved battery degradation model is used in this assessment, which can simulate the battery degradation accurately in a situation whereby the charging current, discharging current, and temperature of the batteries are intermittent on a site during peak demand reductions. This assessment is crucial to determine the maximum financial benefits brought by ESS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":53467,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Science and Technology","volume":"21 4","pages":"Article 100226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674862X23000447/pdfft?md5=88b0a9534cd4bf93312b3c4b859d00af&pid=1-s2.0-S1674862X23000447-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138769722","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}

Currents and voltages at JJ are commensurate with the intrinsic noise level of measuring instruments. This leads to the need for multiple measurements with subsequent statistical processing. In this paper, the digital algorithms are proposed for the automatic measurement of the JJ parameters by IVC. These algorithms make it possible to implement multiple measurements and check these JJ parameters in an automatic mode with the required accuracy. The complete sufficient statistics are used to minimize the root-mean-square error of parameter measurement. A sequence of current pulses with slow rising and falling edges is used to drive JJ, and synchronous current and voltage readings at JJ are used to realize measurement algorithms. The algorithm performance is estimated through computer simulations. The significant advantage of the proposed algorithms is the independence from current source noise and intrinsic noise of current and voltage meters, as well as the simple implementation in automatic digital measuring systems. The proposed algorithms can be used to control JJ parameters during mass production of superconducting integrated circuits, which will improve the production efficiency and product quality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":53467,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Science and Technology","volume":"21 4","pages":"Article 100230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674862X23000484/pdfft?md5=2d2849f8f330b3c64fb4aff0191fe585&pid=1-s2.0-S1674862X23000484-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139099695","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}

Next, a cyclic behavior graph is constructed, which shows the reachable markings that guarantee the maximum liveness of the system within a given bound vector. Finally, an on-line control strategy is proposed to enforce boundedness and liveness to the given system by appending priority relations to transitions. The dynamic priority relation changes flexibly according to the current state of the system and enforces the system evolving in a bounded and live manner.
