Bioenergy is now accepted as having the potential to provide major part of projected renewable energy provisions future. It has been ascertained that biomass a common form and widely used in world. The use identified fundamental development civilization. There are different types thermo-chemical conversion technologies available for converting into which stretches from direct burning more complex processes including gasification or pyrolysis. Among these processes, pyrolysis become...
Load control (LC) of populations air conditioners (ACs) is considered suitable to shift energy from on- off-peak times, and track the intermittent power output renewable generation. From a technical economical point view, it paramount quantify amount that can be saved by implementing these LC events. This paper proposes new causal methodology estimate such savings using Kalman filter includes parametric second-order model aggregate demand population ACs. The proposed relies only on readings...
The growing uptake of solar power in low-voltage grids across the world has drawn attention to potential overvoltage issues. In an effort mitigate overvoltage, automatic Volt-Watt and Volt-VAR inverter response functions have been introduced recent standards. utility these established a number studies. However, relatively little analysis exists on stability grid-connected inverters where decentralized operation can potentially trigger undesirable interactions. This paper presents rigorous...
The objective of this study was to estimate accuracies direct genomic breeding values (DGV) for nationally evaluated traits 1,081 American (AMH), 100 Argentine (ARH), 75 Canadian (CAH), and 395 Uruguayan (URH) Hereford animals genotyped using the Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChip. Deregressed EBV (DEBV) were used as observations in a weighted analysis derive DGV BayesB BayesC methods. AMH clustered into 4 groups, either K-means or random clustering. Cross validation performed with group not...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a native, perennial warm-season grass commonly used as summer pasture. Three strains of switchgrass with different in vitro DM disappearance (IVDMD) values were evaluated yearling cattle (Bos taurus) three replicated grazing trials All similar genetic background, maturity and yield potential. ‘Trailblazer’ (high-IVDMD) resulted higher (P < .05) ADG than ‘Pathfinder’ ‘low-IVDMD’. Available forage Trailblazer had IVDMD Pathfinder low-IVDMD. The differences...
Alkali‐labile cell‐wall phenolics have been implicated in previous research as factors that affect forage digestibility by ruminants. phenolics, vitro dry matter (IVDMD), neutral‐detergent fiber (NDF), acid‐detergent (ADF), lignin (permanganate‐oxidation), and crude protein (CP) were determined three switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) strains differing genetically for IVDMD to determine relationships between these quality parameters during the grazing season. Grazed (upper 1/3 of grazed...
Load control (LC) of distributed populations air conditioners (ACs) can provide effective demand-side ancillary services while reducing emissions and network operating costs. Pilot trials with ACs typically deploy model-free, open-loop strategies, which cannot deliver the full potential LC as a resource. Seeking more advanced much research in recent years has targeted development accurate models approaches for this type loads. Most existing approaches, however, are restricted to scenarios...
Many workers (Burroughs et al., 1948; Swift 1951; Chappel, 1952; Tillman 1954a) have reported that alfalfa ash increased the digestibility and utilization by ruminants of rations containing ground corn cobs or cottonseed hulls. Brooks al. 1954 addition oil to sheep hulls resulted in decreased ration components this effect was counteracted ash, indicating many earlier works may exerted its beneficial effects counteracting detrimental fat. The work herein initiated study added fats with...
An in vitro digestion study, a lamb growth trial and were conducted to evaluate the effect of different NaOH Ca(OH)2 treatments on energy availability wheat straw. In dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) straw was increased 29% by chemical treatment with 1% plus 3% as much 86% 4% treatment. A significant amount hemicellulose solubilized Ca(OH)2, but little cellulose solubilized. Rate extent both treated significantly comparison corresponding measures for untreated Lambs fed chemically-treated...
Electric system operators are increasingly concerned with the potential system-wide impacts of large-scale integration distributed energy resources including voltage control, protection coordination, and equipment wear. This prompts a need for new simulation techniques that can simultaneously capture all components these large integrated smart grid systems. study describes novel platform combines three emerging research areas: power systems co-simulation, hardware in loop (PHIL) simulation,...
The primary objective of a power system is to safely provide reliable energy services society at an affordable cost. In many countries, this has been supplemented by another: meeting the demand with sustainable resources, which culminated in transition low-carbon and zero-carbon systems. This transition, occurring rapidly around world, characterized increasing penetration variable renewable (VRE), inverter-based resources (IBRs), distributed (DERs).
As the business case for home-scale PV battery systems emerges in Australia and Germany, impact of different pricing schemes grid integration approaches on sizing operation such distribution grids has to be evaluated. This paper proposes an integrated approach which first derives optimally configured using a mixed integer linear program subsequently assesses their planning aspects as peak feed-in load Australian German study. The results show that small scale will economically viable option...
