renewable energy sources (res), especially wind power plants, have high priority of promotion in the energy policies worldwide. an increasing share of res and distributed generation (dg), should, as has been assumed, provide improvement in reliability of electricity delivery to the customers. paper presented here concentrates on electricity storage systems technologies and applications pinpoint...

In algorithm management, data are distributed in accordance with a data distribution algorithm that is capable of determining, on the basis of the datum ID, the node in which the required data is being stored. Among the requirements for a data distribution algorithm are short calculation times, low memory consumption, uniform data distribution in accordance with the capacity of each node and th...

Villaseñor, Eric Ph.D., Purdue University, May 2015. Improving Capacity-Performance Tradeoffs in the Storage Tier. Major Professor: Mithuna Thottethodi. Data-set sizes are growing. New techniques are emerging to organize and analyze these data-sets. There is a key access pattern emerging with these new techniques, large sequential file accesses. The trend toward bigger files exists to help amor...

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered an interesting option for hydrogen storage. These materials show an exceptional H2 uptake. Here, Zn3(BTC)2 as MOF was synthesized with a solvothermal method. The phase stability and microstructure of the Zn3(BTC)2 was characterized in terms of their properties and structures, using a number of analytical techniques including FT-IR, XRD, SEM, BET ...

The increasing penetration of renewable generation increases the need for flexibility to accommodate for growing uncertainties. The level of flexibility is measured by the available power that can be provided by flexible resources, such as dispatachable generators, in a certain time period under the constraint of transmission capacity. In addition to conventional flexible resources, energy stor...
