Optimal placement and effect of a wind farm on load flow and protection systems in a municipal distribution network by Martin, Mogamat Noer

“…However, it is seen that the municipal network is not optimally graded in the base case. Finally, it is also seen that, though not often used in research, the MATPOWER package works well as a network simulation tool. …”

Optimal energy management for a grid-tied solar PV-battery microgrid: A reinforcement learning approach by Muriithi, Grace

“…The performance of the proposed method is evaluated with differently fluctuating load profiles, i.e., slow, medium, and fast. Simulation results substantiated the efficacy of the proposed method as the algorithm was established to learn from experience to raise the battery state of charge and optimally shift loads from a one-time instance, thus supporting the utility grid in reducing aggregate peak load. …”

Simulation of field emission from carbon nanotubes using time-dependent density functional theory and the effect of nitrogen and boron doping by Tawfik, Sherif

“…We investigated the mechanism of electron field emission in prestine short carbon nanotubes using ab-initio computation in isolated and periodic simulation cells. We computed the evolution of the wave functions using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory, where we have utilized the Crank-Nicholson propagator. …”
