Enhancing Weak Grid Stability Using Grid-Forming BESS in Renewable-Dominated Power Systems
Abstract: The growing share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix, particularly photovoltaic (PV) installations, has resulted in the reduced grid inertia and system strength, thus presenting new challenges in terms of voltage and frequency stability in weak grid situations. Conventional grid-following (GFL) inverters rely on synchronizing with the grid and performing relatively poorly under specific situations such as disturbances, voltage sags, or islanding. It has been the aim of …

Antenna and Beam-Control Optimization of RIS-Assisted 6G Links: Phase Resolution, Directivity and Energy Efficiency
Abstract: This paper presents an antenna-oriented investigation of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted sixth- generation (6G) wireless links, emphasizing practical design factors beyond conventional RIS versus non-RIS bit-error-rate comparisons. Four parameters are evaluated: phase-shifter resolution, reflected-beam directivity, aperture-dependent spectral efficiency, and controller-aware energy efficiency. A Rayleigh-fading binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) link is used for reliability analysis, while the RIS is modeled as a uniformly spaced reflective aperture through its array factor. The …

Revolutionizing Bone Grafting: A Survey of 3D Printed Solutions
Abstract: Due to the limits of conventional grafts, large bone deficiencies resulting from illness or trauma continue to be a significant clinical challenge. Autografts, while osteoconductive and osteoinductive, are limited by donor availability and morbidity, and allografts/xenografts carry risks of immune rejection and disease transmission. In contrast, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) enables fabrication of patient-specific bone scaffolds with controlled architecture, composition, and bioactivity. Using techniques, like selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography …
