Selecting the Best Compatible SVC Type in Power Systems for transient Stability

Considering the increased trend to use renewable energy to meet electrical energy demands, a reliable performance also should be adopted in transmitting the generated power through the stable transmission and subtransmission systems for which nowadays Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controllers are used extensively. Transient stability is one of the most important issues in power system stability analysis. FACTS devices have confirmed their capabilities in various aspects in power networks. In this paper, to improve transient stability of power systems, a shunt connected FACTS devices have been introduced, i.e., Static VAR compensators (SVCs). The SVC has the most diversified branches among FACTS devices. The main aim of this work is to study and analyze the impact of eight branches of SVC on improvement of transient stability and to choose the best of them. Simulations are performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.     

高速公路隧道入口区段交通流模拟与安全性研究

隧道内外照明差异使交通流状态产生了相应的变化.为模拟高速公路隧道入口交通流运行与安全状态,根据驾驶速度与能见度关系,提出了元胞传输模型的改进原理与方法.通过与实际道路交通流数据的比较,验证了模型的有效性.运用该模型模拟并比较不同条件下交通运行状态.结果表明,改进的元胞传输模型能够揭示隧道入口流量与车速状态.受到隧道能见度的影响,在隧道入口段车速将有明显的降低.随着隧道内能见度的降低,这种影响更为明显.高流量情况下,隧道入口的扰动可能影响后续车辆速度与流量;低流量情况下则影响不大.车速扰动对于道路全段的安全性影响较大,在交通激波的传递过程中,更容易出现交通事故.低密度情况下,隧道内能见度越低,安全性越差.

灾害事件发生后,信息的有效传播对于灾害救助意义重大.灾害事件往往伴随电力、交通、通讯的中断,导致许多传播媒介无法发挥作用,而广播媒介因其较强的抗灾害能力在灾害信息传播过程中保持了相对畅通,成为灾害救助的重要媒介.本文介绍了广播媒介在自我救助、专业救助和社会救助中的不同作用,进一步探讨了几种常见的传播媒介的抗灾害能力,并针对广播媒介在灾害救助中存在的问题提出了一些建议.     

Instrument tuning for trace analysis of dioxins and furans for the vg 70s/se gas chromatography/mass spectrometry system using electron impact mode

We present the salient characteristics of tuning procedures that have evolved from our 3 years of experience while producing large amounts of data of the highest quality. Our laboratory routinely analyzes 2,3,7,8‐substituted dioxins and furans at parts per quadrillion levels in 50–100 g of human serum samples using the VG 70S/SE stand‐alone gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system at 10000 resolution (defined by 5% overlap) in the selected ion recording mode. Trace measurement of dioxins and furans in human biological matrices—for example, whole blood, serum, or adipose tissue‐requires reproducible instrument tuning within day as well as among days for quality results. Additionally, instument‐tuning procedures among operators must be reproducible to minimize operator bias because periodically different operators are used. Instrument tuning is highly subjective and argumentive; therefore, to minimize the ambiguity within our laboratory, we have standardized our technique to reproducibly tune the GC/MS system.     

Using Parasitic Trematode Larvae to Quantify an Elusive Vertebrate Host

Abstract: Digenean trematode parasites require multiple host species to complete their life cycles, and their abundance can often be strongly correlated with the abundance of their host species. Species richness and abundance of parasites in easily sampled host species may yield an accurate estimate of the species richness and abundance of other hosts in a parasite's life cycle that are difficult to survey directly. Accordingly, we investigated whether prevalence and mean abundance of trematodes could be used to estimate the abundance of one of their host species, diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin), which are difficult to sample and are designated as near threatened (by the International Union for Conservation of Nature [IUCN Red List]) along some U.S. coasts. As an adult the trematode Pleurogonius malaclemys is specific to terrapins. Its larval stages live first inside mud snails (Ilyanassa obsoleta) and are subsequently shed into the environment where they form external metacercarial cysts on hard surfaces such as snail opercula. The life cycle of P. malaclemys is completed when terrapins ingest these cysts. At 12 sites along the coast of Georgia (U.S.A.), we determined the prevalence of internal P. malaclemys larvae in mud snails (proportion of infected snails in a population) and the prevalence and mean abundance of external trematode cysts. We examined whether these data were correlated with terrapin abundance, which we estimated with mark‐recapture methods. The abundance of external cysts and salinity explained ≥59% of the variability in terrapin abundance. We suggest that dependent linkages between the life stages of multihost parasites make them reliable predictors of host species’ abundance, including hosts with abundances that are challenging to quantify directly.

Phenological fate of plant-acquired pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the polyphagous arctiid Estigmene acrea

Summary. The alkaloid profiles of the life history stages of the highly polyphagous arctiid Estigmene acrea were established. As larvae individuals had free choice between a plain diet (alkaloid-free) and a diet that was supplemented with Crotalaria-pumila powder with a known content and composition of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Idiosyncratic retronecine esters (insect PAs) accounted for approximately half of the PAs recovered from the larvae. These alkaloids were synthesized by the larvae through esterification of dietary supinidine yielding the estigmines, and esterification of retronecine yielding the creatonotines. The retronecine is derived from insect-mediated degradation of the sequestered pumilines (macrocyclic PAs of the monocrotaline type). With one exception, the PA profiles established for larvae were found almost unaltered in all life-stages as well as larval exuviae and pupal cocoons. The exception is the males, which in comparison to pupae and adult females, showed a significantly decreased quantity of the creatonotines and pumilines. These data support the idea that the creatonotines are direct precursors of the PA-derived male courtship pheromone, hydroxydanaidal. Crosses of PA-free males with PA-containing females and vice versa confirmed an efficient trans-mission of PAs from males to females and then from females to eggs. In single cases a male bestowed almost his total PA load to the female, and a female her total load to the eggs. The results are discussed with respect to pheromone formation, PA transmission between life-stages, and the defensive role of PAs against predators and parasitoids
