The intermittent and uncertain nature of renewables represents a major challenge for large scale adoption sustainable energy resources. Of particular concern is the need to maintain both quality grid frequency low costs regulation reserves in face increasing fluctuations renewables. To this end, we propose an integrated dynamic market mechanism (DMM), which combines real-time allowing players, including renewable generators flexible consumers, iteratively negotiate electricity prices at...
Modern power systems utilize automatic generation control (AGC) for real-time frequency regulation to ensure balance of and consumption. Increasing penetration intermittent renewables will introduce greater variability in generation, which turn requires an even higher participation AGC. In light this, becomes a very critical service modern systems' operations that has be carried out with high economic efficiency. The use demand response (DR) is being offered as green, affordable alternative...
In this paper, we present an alternative to Hapke's correction for the photometric effect of macroscopic roughness planetary surfaces (Hapke, 1984). Our model includes effects both single-facet scattering and multi-facet scattering. The is derived directly from definition bidirectional reflectance a rough surface. We projected shadowing by adopting approximation published elsewhere in literature. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate very good agreement with component our model. Using 3D...
Fluctuations in renewable generation motivate a need for real-time coordination of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as demand response resources. Dynamic market mechanisms are promising approach to facilitate DERs. However, the implementation over large geographic region requires communication across networks which can introduce non-negligible latency, congestion, and packet loss. Such network disruptions raise questions regarding grid resilience, especially, when combined with...
For a power grid to operate properly, electrical frequency must be continuously maintained close its nominal value. Increasing penetration of distributed generation, such as solar and wind introduces fluctuations in active while also reducing the natural inertial response electricity grid, creating reliability concerns. While regulation has traditionally been achieved by controlling generators, control Demand Response (DR) resources recognized recent smart literature an efficient means for...

Reflectivity control devices (RCDs) based on polymer dispersed liquid crystals were fabricated for Solar Cruiser, a SmallSat NASA Pathfinder Mission consisting of 1653 square meter solar sail that would establish an artificial orbit sunward the L1 Lagrange point heliophysics observations. Here we describe optical characterization these birefringent electro-optic including thin film measurements and analysis, hyperspectral bidirectional reflectance distribution function measurements,...
<p>A bimodal video imaging platform combining RGB and 371-band hyperspectral systems was used to collect time-series data of the Lake Ontario shoreline at Hamlin Beach State Park in Rochester, New York, USA. We predicted image frames dynamic natural water scenes previous later points time using a paired relationship between imagery video.
