Could We Have Forecast "The Day the Solar Wind Died"?

The day the solar wind nearly died.

Could and Should Have We Dayton ?

The US sponsored peace talks in Dayton in autumn 1995 gathered representatives of the three constituent peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the neighboring states, and an internationally composed five member Contact groupeach of them trying to end a war, but also to promote some other specific interests and in that way influencing the outcome of negotiations. When estimating the Dayton Agreement...

Solar Neutrinos: What We Have Learned

Four solar neutrino experiments are currently taking data. The results of these experiments confirm the hypothesis that the energy source for solar luminosity is hydrogen fusion. However, the measured rate for each of the four solar neutrino experiments differs significantly (by factors of 2.0 to 3.5) from the corresponding theoretical prediction that is based upon the standard solar model and ...

Energy storage sizing for wind power: impact of the autocorrelation of day-ahead forecast errors

Availability of day-ahead production forecast is an important step towards better dispatchability of wind power production. However, the stochastic nature of forecast errors prevents a wind farm operator from holding a firm production commitment. In order to mitigate the deviation from the commitment, an energy storage system connected to the wind farm is considered. One statistical characteris...
