Low‐Carbon Optimal Scheduling of Multiple Virtual Power Plants Based on Asymmetric Nash Bargaining

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To effectively investigate the structural discrepancies and complementary energy characteristics among multiple virtual power plants (VPPs), and to improve the economic efficiency, low‐carbon performance, and operational reliability of the multi‐agent system, this paper proposes a low‐carbon collaborative optimal operation strategy for ...

Prescribed Fire Effects on Hummingbird Taxonomic and Functional Diversity in Pine–Oak Forests in West-Central Mexico

Birds
Prescribed fires are a management strategy involving the controlled application of fire to achieve specific ecological objectives. In the pine–oak forests in west-central Mexico, we conducted an experimental low-severity prescribed fire to assess its ...

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

A Review on the Dynamics of Prescribed Fire, Tree Mortality, and Injury in Managing Oak Natural Communities to Minimize Economic Loss in North America

Forests, 2018
The long history of fire in North America spans millennia and is recognized as an important driver in the widespread and long-term dominance of oak species and oak natural communities.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

The Response of Zigadenus fremontii to Variation in Fire Regime [PDF]

, 2010
California\u27s chaparral shrub communities are naturally exposed to dry-season fire. It could be reasoned that prescription burns set during the wet season by land managers would have more detrimental effects on plant regeneration than dry season fires

Finalisation of the European Approach to Assess the Fire Performance of Facades—Brief Information on the Outcome of the Project

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research was conducted within the framework of project SI2.825082, funded by the European Commission—DG GROW. The project's objective was to finalise a European approach for assessing the fire performance of façades under medium and large fire exposure conditions.
