ORNL researchers use blockchain to increase electric grid resiliency; Grid Guard

Green Car Congress

The data and equipment settings are constantly verified against a statistical baseline of normal voltage, frequency, breaker status and power quality. Our system helps determine in near real time whether a fault was triggered by a cyberattack or induced by natural events. This saves energy and reduces the space needed to store data.

Both models use statistics to make predictions, but there are differences. Advanced knowledge of mathematics, statistics, data analysis, and programming is fundamental for a machine learning engineer. This course can help you comprehend diverse sources that allow businesses to collect, store, organize, and interpret data.

Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

For example, demand will often increase when is it raining or peak during half time of a national televised sporting event. It is argued, therefore, that with this power potential, we can create enough excess in wind and solar power that the statistical likelihood of not having the power supply to match demand is effectively zero.

Caltech, JPL designed megasupramolecule fuel additive reduces intensity of post-impact fuel explosions

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Caltech and JPL used statistical mechanics to design a polymeric fuel additive that can self-assemble into “megasupramolecules” (≥5000 kg/mol) at low concentration (≤0.3 The key to both mist control and drag reduction is the ability of polymers to store energy as they stretch, such that the fluid as a whole resists elongation.

Study Finds PHEV Li-ion Cells Show Little Capacity Fade Under Combined Driving and V2G Usage; Economic Model Suggests Incentives Will Be Required for Vehicle Owners to Participate in V2G

Green Car Congress

Statistical analyses indicated that rapid battery cycling incurred when driving degraded the cells more than slower, vehicle-to-grid galvanostatic cycling. Rather, it is the integrated number of lithium ions that have been intercalated/de-intercalated into the electrodes, regardless of the DoD at which these events occur. CEIC-09-02).
