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 …

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 …
