The purpose of UC is to minimize the total generation cost while satisfying system demand, reserve requirements, and unit constraints. Among the UC constraints, an adequate provision of reserve is important to ensure the security of power system and the fast-response reserve is essential to bring system frequency back to acceptable level following the loss of an online unit within a few seconds. In this paper, the authors present and solve a UC problem including the frequency-based reserve constraints to determine the optimal FRR requirements and unit MW schedules. The UC problem is solved by using Lagrangian Relaxation-based approach and compared with the actual system schedules. It is observed that favorable reserve and unit MW schedules are obtained by the proposed method while the system security is maintained.展开更多

We apply the general response function to the special case in order to examine how special dielectric relaxation functions developed by other authors for solvent relaxation can be derived based on our formulations. Three typical solvents, water, methanol, and acetonitrile are used to investigate the electronic polarization processes of polar solvents. The solvent electronic polarization process is shown after a linear variation with the external electric field imposed on the solvent. The results show a conclusion that the electronic polarization of the solvents will accompany the electronic transition synchronously, without time lag.展开更多

It is shown that the long-lived photon echo response locking effect may be observed even at the angles of the relative orientation of the non-resonant standing wave laser pulses of less than one degree, due to the change in the correlation coefficient of inhomogeneous broadening at time intervals between the first and the second and after the third resonant laser pulses.展开更多
