Steady-state Operation Area of VSC-HVDC Converter Station Connecting Renewable Energy Cluster by Isolated Network [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 When the large-scale renewable power island is connected to VSC-HVDC transmission system, we should figure out the steady-state operation area of VSC-HVDC converter station. Based on the equivalent model of renewable energy island, the constraints of VSC-

Islands in the stream of Hawking radiation
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We consider the island formula for the entropy of subsets of the Hawking radiation in the adiabatic limit where the black hole evaporation is very slow. We find a simple concrete ‘on-shell’ formula for the generalized entropy which involves the image of ...

Flow and retreat of the Late Quaternary Pine Island-Thwaites palaeo-ice stream, West Antarctica [PDF]
, 2010 Multibeam swath bathymetry and sub-bottom profiler data are used to establish constraints on the flow and retreat history of a major palaeo-ice stream that carried the combined discharge from the parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet now occupied by the ...

The D-linking Effect on Extraction from Islands and Non-islands
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 D-linked wh-phrases such as 'which car' are known to increase the acceptability of sentences with island violations. One influential account of this attributes the effect to working memory: the D-linked filler is easier to retrieve at the site of the gap
