The NeXT had (arguably too) many things introduced at once -- removable optical storage, Objective C, DSP for sound and movies, Mach kernel, unix for a PC, display Postscript, InterfaceBuilder and so on.
The main objective was to meet the DOE 2015 onboard hydrogen storage target (5.5 wt%).
A pre-plan power curve based scheduling module, which takes the grid limitation of maximum powers fluctuation, maximizing wind and solar power utilization and reducing use of battery energy storage system BESS) as objectives, is designed according to ultra-short-term prediction information of wind and solar power and state of charging (SOC) of BESS.
The decision variables of the upper-level model are the power and capacity of the energy storage and the objective is to minimize the initial investment and the fluctuation on the connection line.
The decision variable of the lower-level programming model is the charging and discharging power of the energy storage, and the objective is the lowest power fluctuation of the connection line.
Because obtaining the maximum potential area of Holocene natural (pre-settlement) wetlands and carbon storage was our objective, the 2011 wetland map was used to adjust the DUC's pre-settlement map.
The present study, which is perhaps the first of its kind, explores the changes in the physical, chemical and biological properties of vermicast that occur during storage with the objective of finding conditions that minimize the deterioration in the fertilizer value of the vermicast.
At a storage site, the main objectives of carbon dioxide sequestration are to maximize the volume of scCO2 injected and minimize the leakage risk, while effectively managing formation fluid pressure buildup and the brine displaced by scCO2.
In the two-layer programming model proposed in this paper, the decision variables of the upper-level model are the capacity and power of the storage system and the objective is the lowest cost of the battery energy storage system.
Results indicate that considering maximum energy storage capacity as the objective of optimization procedure leads to efficient shape design of LHTESS.
