Using Thermal Units to Predict Biomass Accumulation and Total Nitrogen Uptake for Cover Crops in Arkansas
… Cover crops growth can be predicted using thermal days or growing degree days [GDD] similar to commodity crops such as corn (Zea mays L.) or rice (Oryza sativa). Growing degree day calculations are a well-known tool to predict crop growth stage or development stage and can be adapted for …

Lightning search algorithm for optimal economic and emission dispatch of photovoltaic integrated with thermal power system
… have solved the power dispatch problem based on thermal power generation. However, it became more complex when integrating renewable energy (RE) such as photovoltaic (PV) in the system. Thus, both cost and emission level must be minimized to operate the power system economically and …

A study of adaptive protection methods for future electricity distribution systems
… to generation connection using large-scale thermal units is evolving as the electricity supply industry and end users both move to play their part in tackling climate change. Government targets and financial incentive mechanisms have created a generation portfolio that is becoming more …

A study of fine coal dewatering by high temperature and pressure filtration
… has been a major problem of the coal industry. Thermal dryers have been used exclusively as a means of reducing the fine coal moisture. Because of its high capital, operating costs, and safety hazards, an alternate method of moisture reduction is highly desirable in the coal industry. The major …

The Development and Application of a Larval Pallid Sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) Bioenergetics Model
… in 4.1 % fewer days and 5.0 % fewer cumulative thermal units (CTU) in the LMR and 38.3 % fewer days and 53.6 % fewer CTU in the GR. In the Stocking Scenario, with a feeding rate set at 50% maximum consumption, I found a 7.5 % increase and 37.4 % decrease in end weights from the Pre-Dam to …

Optimal Management and Sizing for Battery Energy Storage Systems for Grid Applications
… BESS seeks to minimize fuel consumption from thermal units in the microgrid and to capture renewable energy to then be traded in the grid market. Furthermore, a novel MILP-optimization methodology is developed and proposed to optimally size and operate a grid-scale Li-ion BESS that performs …

Systems Evaluation of Shallow Anhydrous Ammonia Placements, Rates, and Timing on Maize Plant Uniformity, Yield and N Use Efficiency
… determine per-plant grain weights. Variation in thermal units to seedling emergence, and plant spacing variation had almost zero impact on final yields. Parallel NH<sub>3</sub> placement improved whole-season N uptake, relative to diagonal placement, at the 145 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup> rate and in …
