We propose an algorithm for generating normal random variates that is based on the acceptance–rejection method and uses a piecewise majorizing function. The piecewise function has 2048 equal-area pieces, 2046 of which are constant, and the two extreme pieces are curves that majorize the tails. The proposed algorithm has not only good performance from correlation induction perspective, but also ...

Power system inertia is an essential part of grid frequency control. The number synchronously connected machines, which inherently provide inertia, decreasing due to the transition renewable energies. Conventional generation units are being replaced by via converters. Some power systems already suffer from too little inertia. Hence, a valuable yet non-traded commodity. A day-ahead dispatch meth...
