PURPOSE Laser-based accelerated proton beams are unsuitable for clinical use because of their broad energy spectra. For this reason, it is essential to employ an energy selection system (ESS). The purpose of this study is to determine optimum parameters of the ESS which uses a varying magnetic field to generate Bragg-peak. METHODS We simulated an accelerated proton beams using radiation press...

The distribution systems (DS) reconfiguration problem is formulated in this paper as a multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) multi-period problem, enforcing that the obtained topology is radial in order to exploit several advantages those configurations offer. The effects of distributed generation (DG) and energy storage systems (ESS) are also investigated. To address the mult...

Li-ion batteries are mainly used in energy storage system (ESS) systems, but they have the issue of significant battery fire incidents. Many thermal management technologies to respond heat load using phase change material (PCM) been studied. We studied and power consumption properties depending on charge/discharge outside temperature ESS room through field survey data an experiment. First, for ...

Electrochemical energy storage systems are categorized into different types, according to their mechanisms, including capacitors, supercapacitors, batteries and fuel cells. All battery systems include some main components: anode, cathode, an aqueous/non-aqueous electrolyte and a membrane that separates anode and cathode while being permeable to ions. Being one of the key parts of any new electr...

This paper proposes a new probabilistic energybased method to determine the optimal installation location of electronically-interfaced resources (EIRs) considering dynamic reinforcement under wind variability in systems with high penetration of wind power. The oscillation energy and total action are used to compare the dynamic performance for different EIR locations. A linear approximation of t...

This paper deals with the development and experimental validation of a unified power converter for application in dc microgrids, contemplating inclusion solar photovoltaic (PV) panels energy storage systems (ESS), namely batteries. Considering limitations presented by current structure grid, mostly highlighted accentuated integration emerging technologies (ESS, renewables, electric vehicles, el...

This article proposes a framework for the stability analysis and control testing of marine hybrid power systems with dc architecture. The dynamics such active are increasingly influenced by interactive modes, as highly dynamic loads varying load sharing scenarios, electromechanical integration energy storage (ESS). Hence, model entire system is developed, including electronics ESS, systems, dif...

Biomass for bioenergy is debated for its potential synergies or tradeoffs with other provisioning and regulating ecosystem services (ESS). This biomass may originate from different production systems and may be purposefully grown or obtained from residues. Increased concerns globally about the sustainable production of biomass for bioenergy has resulted in numerous certification schemes focusin...
