SOFCs integrated with SMES under dynamic power control using Chernobyl disaster optimizer by Sameh I. Selem, Attia A. El-Fergany, Eid A. Gouda, Mohamed F. Kotb, Islam Ismael

“…The dynamic behavior of the SOFCs stack is examined in relation to direct load, electric networks, and superconducting magnetic energy storage devices (SMES) for additional validation and illustration. The role of the SOFCs stack in controlling the active and reactive power delivered to the network and direct load is investigated using two controllers: one to control the inverter, which converts the SOFC’s dc output to the main network, and the other to control the SMES. …”

Recessive transition of rural residential land use from the perspective of value co-creation: A case study of Yiwu City, Zhejiang by ZHANG Cong, LONG Hualou, FENG Dedong

“…The case of Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, was used for illustration. [Results] (1) Value co-creation of ural residential land follows the process model of “value consensus-value execution-value win-win” and the operational paradigm of “subject interaction - capacity embedding - benefit sharing”, driving the “element integration - structure reorganization - function optimization” of rural residential land use system, resulting in the dynamic evolution of diverse values such as residential security, economic property, production and operation, ecological protection, and cultural inheritance, and achieving the recessive rural residential land use transition. (2) Yiwu’s practice path of guiding multiple stakeholders to interact collaboratively, constructing “value consensus” for rural residential land, driving with multiple forces, and implementing “value execution” for rural residential land through multi-dimensional rule interaction is a successful model for realizing the recessive rural residential land use transformation through value co-creation. (3) Through the practice of value co-creation, Yiwu has achieved a transformation of the functional value of rural residential land from residential security orientation to economic property orientation, and then to a comprehensive and coordinated approach that encompasses residential security, production and operation, economic assets, and ecological protection, etc. …”
