Low-Carbon economic scheduling with Demand-Side response uncertainty in regional integrated energy system by Ning Yan, Xiangjun Li, Zhongli Wu, Junyan Shao, Josep M. Guerrero

“…Finally, the mechanism of carbon trading and the demand-response is leveraged to address the economic scheduling incorporating operation cost, carbon transaction cost, imbalance costs of supply and demand, and load loss. Simulations demonstrated in the paper prove that the optimal solution with demand-response uncertain may effectively increase the economic performance and reduce carbon emissions of a RIES.…”

A highly efficient hybrid fiber optic laser using a cesium atom vapor cell as an optical gain medium by Seokjin Kim, Mingyu Lee, Sanggwon Song, Seongjin Hong, Johan Nilsson, Kyunghwan Oh

“…The SMF serves multiple roles: (1) a passive mode-matching component to approximate the pump beam diameter to that of the laser cavity mode within the cesium cell, (2) an output coupler with a low reflectivity, and (3) a low loss laser delivery with a high beam-quality. Optimizing the pump beam waist diameter and the cesium vapor cell temperature, a high slope efficiency of 86% and an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 71% were achieved in the pump power range of 400–600 mW. …”
