In recent years, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations have witnessed rapid growth. However, effective management of is challenging due to individual EV owners' privacy concerns, competing interests different stations, and the coupling distribution network constraints. To cope with this challenge, paper proposes a two-stage scheme. first stage, aggregate power flexibility region derived by so...

Synopsis Much effort is being deployed in maintaining electricity generation from the UK’s fleet of nuclear power stations with safety being a prime consideration. Up-to-date safety standards demand resistance to hazards which normally include seismic and blast loading, yet many stations were built before such considerations became mandatory. To extend the generating life of older nuclear power...

We propose a space time coded cooperative diversity protocol that achieves improved quality of service for the mobile users in cellular systems. The protocol, called cooperative frequency reuse, exploits the cellular frequency reuse concept to create spatial diversity among neighboring base stations. After transmitting their individual signals in the channel reuse protected frequency subchannel...

An overview of research activity in the area of powering base station sites by means of renewable energy sources is given. It is shown that mobile network operators express significant interest for powering remote base stations using renewable energy sources. This is because a significant percentage of remote base station sites on the global level are still diesel powered due to lack of connect...

SCPS is a novel self-configuring power-saving protocol for wireless one-hop ad hoc networks. According to IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard, a station may enter a special power-saving (PS) mode. SCPS allows all stations in the PS mode to adjust their wakeup schedules whenever a station enters or exits the PS mode. The adjustment can balance the number of wakeup stations in each beacon interval so that ...

Resettlement affects not only the resettlers' production activities and life but also, directly or indirectly, the normal operation of power stations, the sustainable development of the resettlers, and regional social stability. Therefore, a scientific evaluation index system for the sustainable development of reservoir resettlement must be established that fits Chinese national conditions and ...
