Preparing Distribution Utilities for the Future - Unlocking Demand-Side Management Potential: A Novel Analytical Framework

The balance of supply and demand in the power systems has traditionally been served solely through generation and network capacity planning and operations. However, with increased requirements for flexibility due to the uptake in variable renewable generation sources such as wind and solar there is a need to increased demand-side flexibility. In addition, there are increased communications and flexibility capabilities emerging on the demand-side from the adoption of advanced metering infrastructures and smart meter deployment and intelligent loads such as smart thermostats and schedulable white goods (e.g. dishwashers and washing machines). Unlocking demand-side flexibility can bring system benefits from peak load reduction bringing about generation capacity and network upgrade deferral, to reducing demand and more efficient utilization of generation and network capacity. Unlocking demand-side flexibility is an evolving process for utilities and solutions must be tailored to each specific customer group. Demand-side management (DSM) is a broad set of tools that can include demand response (both dispatchable and non-dispatchable), energy efficiency and distributed energy resources and demand-side technologies. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in collaboration with BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd. (BRPL) and Deloitte, examined the potential of DSM in BRPL’s service territory, developing detailed information on customer classes and willingness to participate in DSM. The study developed modeling frameworks for load analysis and the analysis tools to assess the potential of time-of-use tariffs in motivating customers to reduce their peak period energy consumption. The study shows that BRPL customers, specifically their domestic customers, are willing to participate in DSM programs and that time-of-use pricing can help BRPL reduce their peak demand and help unlock demand-side flexibility.

MicroBooNE BNB Electron Neutrino Overlay Sample (No Wire Info)

MicroBooNE samples are provided for collaborative development in two different formats: HDF5, targeting the broadest audience, and artroot, targeting users that are familiar with the software infrastructure of Fermilab neutrino experiments and more in general of HEP experiments. The HDF5 files are stored on Zenodo, together with a list of artroot files accessible with xrootd.This sample includes simulated interactions of neutrinos from the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), overlaid on top of cosmic ray data. The sample is restricted to charged-current electron neutrino interactions within the argon active volume of the time projection chamber.The HDF5 files in this sample do not include the information at the wire waveform level ("NoWire" label), allowing for larger number of events to be included in the data set.More documentation, including detailed description of content, recipes, and example usage, at https://github.com/uboone/OpenSamples.Suggested text for acknowledgment is the following:We acknowledge the MicroBooNE Collaboration for making publicly available the data sets [data set DOIs] employed in this work. These data sets consist of simulated neutrino interactions from the Booster Neutrino Beamline overlaid on top of cosmic data collected with the MicroBooNE detector [2017 JINST 12 P02017].In addition, we request that software products resulting from the usage of the datasets are also made publicly available.

MicroBooNE BNB Electron Neutrino Overlay Sample (With Wire Info)

MicroBooNE samples are provided for collaborative development in two different formats: HDF5, targeting the broadest audience, and artroot, targeting users that are familiar with the software infrastructure of Fermilab neutrino experiments and more in general of HEP experiments. The HDF5 files are stored on Zenodo, together with a list of artroot files accessible with xrootd.This sample includes simulated interactions of neutrinos from the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), overlaid on top of cosmic ray data. The sample is restricted to charged-current electron neutrino interactions within the argon active volume of the time projection chamber.The HDF5 files in this sample include the information at the wire waveform level (after deconvolution and finding of regions of interest). As this information significantly increases the file size, this sample contains about 20% of the events of the corresponding sample without wire information.More documentation, including detailed description of content, recipes, and example usage, at https://github.com/uboone/OpenSamples.Suggested text for acknowledgment is the following:We acknowledge the MicroBooNE Collaboration for making publicly available the data sets [data set DOIs] employed in this work.

Injection mechanisms in a III -nitride light-emitting diode as seen by self-emissive electron microscopy

Here, we report on the investigation of an electrically biased high efficiency green III-nitride light-emitting diode (LED) by electron emission microscopy (EEM) using a low-energy electron microscope (LEEM). The surface of the LED was activated to negative electron affinity via deposition of a submonolayer of Cs. With the illumination column of the LEEM turned off, upon electrical injection of the LED, we directly image the hot electrons generated by eeh Auger-Meitner nonradiative processes that diffuse through the top p-Ga N layer and emit out the surface of the biased LED. By determining the source of emitted electrons using complementary electron emission spectroscopy measurements, EEM allows us to effectively map the carrier density within the LED. Using EEM, we observed nonelectron emitting regions with a density of approximately 3 × 10 8 cm -2 , identified as V-shaped defects (V-defects). This is confirmed through the corresponding dark spots of panchromatic cathodoluminescence measurements of the same sample and by plan-view transmission electron microscopy. The absence of electron emission at the sidewall of the V-defects can be attributed to several factors, including reduced carrier density in the sidewall quantum wells due to carriers traveling fast through the semipolar sidewalls before being injected into the planar quantum wells, the reduced population of hot electrons surviving diffusion through the thicker p-GaN filling in the V-defect before emission onto vacuum, and a smaller Auger-Meitner coefficient for the low In content semipolar sidewall quantum wells. The stronger electron emission observed at the ridges of most V-defects compared to the planar quantum well regions indicates larger local injected carrier densities, confirming that V-defect sidewalls allow for strong lateral carrier injection when compared to the weaker vertical injection away from the V-defect as evidenced by the weaker electron emission intensity away from the V-defects.
