@article{47961, abstract = {{Due to failures or even the absence of an electricity grid, microgrid systems are becoming popular solutions for electrifying African rural communities. However, they are heavily stressed and complex to control due to their intermittency and demand growth. Demand side management (DSM) serves as an option to increase the level of flexibility on the demand side by scheduling users’ consumption patterns profiles in response to supply. This paper proposes a demand-side management strategy based on load shifting and peak clipping. The proposed approach was modelled in a MATLAB/Simulink R2021a environment and was optimized using the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. Simulations were carried out to test the model’s efficacy in a stand-alone PV-battery microgrid in East Africa. The proposed algorithm reduces the peak demand, smoothing the load profile to the desired level, and improves the system’s peak to average ratio (PAR). The presence of deferrable loads has been considered to bring more flexible demand-side management. Results promise decreases in peak demand and peak to average ratio of about 31.2% and 7.5% through peak clipping. In addition, load shifting promises more flexibility to customers.}}, author = {{Philipo, Godiana Hagile and Kakande, Josephine Nakato and Krauter, Stefan}}, issn = {{1996-1073}}, journal = {{Energies}}, keywords = {{Energy (miscellaneous), Energy Engineering and Power Technology, Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Control and Optimization, Engineering (miscellaneous), Building and Construction}}, number = {{14}}, publisher = {{MDPI AG}}, title = {{{Neural Network-Based Demand-Side Management in a Stand-Alone Solar PV-Battery Microgrid Using Load-Shifting and Peak-Clipping}}}, doi = {{10.3390/en15145215}}, volume = {{15}}, year = {{2022}}, } @article{33643, abstract = {{The origin of strong interactions between water molecules and porous C2N surfaces is investigated by using a combination of model materials, volumetric physisorption measurements, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations.}}, author = {{Heske, Julian Joachim and Walczak, Ralf and Epping, Jan D. and Youk, Sol and Sahoo, Sudhir K. and Antonietti, Markus and Kühne, Thomas and Oschatz, Martin}}, issn = {{2050-7488}}, journal = {{Journal of Materials Chemistry A}}, keywords = {{General Materials Science, Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, General Chemistry}}, number = {{39}}, pages = {{22563--22572}}, publisher = {{Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)}}, title = {{{When water becomes an integral part of carbon – combining theory and experiment to understand the zeolite-like water adsorption properties of porous C2N materials}}}, doi = {{10.1039/d1ta05122a}}, volume = {{9}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{40570, abstract = {{Copper- and nitrogen-doped carbonaceous materials, obtained by a simple synthetic procedure are highly efficient and fast catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction.

This issue also affects consumers in markets for cultural goods, where the quality of products is not known with certainty in advance of the purchase decision. Our study uses fsQCA to establish the effect of different quality signals on consumption in the US market for video game software.
