Ancillary services (open access)

Ancillary services

Ancillary services are those functions performed by electrical generating, transmission, system-control, and distribution-system equipment and people to support the basic services of generating capacity, energy supply, and power delivery. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission defined ancillary services as ``those services necessary to support the transmission of electric power from seller to purchaser given the obligations of control areas and transmitting utilities within those control areas to maintain reliable operations of the interconnected transmission system.`` FERC identified six ancillary services reactive power and voltage control, loss compensation, scheduling and dispatch, load following, system protection, and energy imbalance. Our earlier work identified 19 ancillary services Here we offer a revised set of seven ancillary services and mention several other services that merit consideration. In preparing its final rule on open-access transmission service, we suggest that FERC consider splitting its system-protection service into its two primary pieces, reliability reserve and supplemental-operating reserve. We also suggest that FERC define more sharply all of the ancillary services. especially load-following reserve and energy imbalance. Finally, we suggest that FERC consider other services and their provision in a restructured electricity industry; these services include black-start capability, time correction, standby service. planning reserve, redispatch. transmission services, power quality, …

Angel

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jean-Louis Belmonte's Angel. This work uses traditional electronic techniques to change pre-recorded sounds to create a soundscape. The metallic ring sound is a continuous sound throughout the work, therefore the listener becomes familiar and begins to draw attention to the sounds changing outside of this familiar sound. Yet, there are still moments with the attention is brought back tot he metallic sound and a brand new collection of sounds and environment is introduced.

Angular interpolations and splice options for three-dimensional transport computations (open access)

Angular interpolations and splice options for three-dimensional transport computations

New, accurate and mathematically rigorous angular Interpolation strategies are presented. These strategies preserve flow and directionality separately over each octant of the unit sphere, and are based on a combination of spherical harmonics expansions and least squares algorithms. Details of a three-dimensional to three-dimensional (3-D to 3-D) splice method which utilizes the new angular interpolations are summarized. The method has been implemented in a multidimensional discrete ordinates transport computer program. Various features of the splice option are illustrated by several applications to a benchmark Dog-Legged Void Neutron (DLVN) streaming and transport experimental assembly.

Aniox

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Daping Qin's Aniox. A fantasy surrounding the theme of animal voices, Aniox is an exploration of the musique concrete bridge between music and noise. Four animal voices are treated as instruments: sad cock, cheerful dogs, innocent birds and angry lions. The main role is played by the roster. The work falls into two sections. The first section develops from the statement of the rooster's plaintive whine to an innocent birdsong and gradually changes to a deep sigh. After a brief pause, the opening drumbeat recapitulated to lead the same material through rhythmic variation toward the second section's climax, led by the lion's angry howl.

Annual site environmental report, period: January 1994 to June 1995 (open access)

Annual site environmental report, period: January 1994 to June 1995

The environmental management program at the US Department of Energy (DOE), Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC), addresses all areas of environmental concern, including surface water and groundwater quality, air quality, and solid and hazardous waste disposal. The program focuses primarily on the treatment and disposal of industrial, contaminated, and sanitary wastewaters; the disposal of solid and hazardous wastes; minimizing air pollutant emissions; the monitoring of surface water, groundwater, and air quality on the METC site and in the surrounding area; the decommissioning, decontamination, and disposal of on-site research facilities no longer in use; and the identification, characterization, and cleanup of off-site property where METC sponsored research and development activities. The environmental management program is conducted to meet the requirements of all applicable Federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Teodoro Pedro Cromberg's Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco. The title references to the importance of sensorial experience (dionis’aco) in concrete music creation, opposite to the microcomposition in the land of sonora synthesis, that is more rational (apol’neo). In this way, both working modes are contraposed all over the piece, though clearly limited sections with short silences or for the clear identity of different sonorous-musical materials. The last section highlights the characteristic motives of the piece in textual or variegated mode.

The answer which the court gives

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Christopher Rolfe's The answer which the court give you. The two sections here were excerpted from a longer work for piano and tape. The text material is drawn from documentary recordings of oral arguments before the U. S. Supreme Court, and processed by various resonant synthesis techniques (Karplus- Strong, convolution). The piece sonically depicts that public speakers are fundamentally creating music.

Anticlastic curvature measurements on unribbed crystal optics for synchrotron radiation (open access)

Anticlastic curvature measurements on unribbed crystal optics for synchrotron radiation

Various methods have been proposed for measuring the distortion in perfect crystals using double-crystal methods. The majority of these methods rely on making comparisons between double-crystal rocking curve measurements under the spatial extent of an extended x-ray beam. Unless the beam is large and parallel (such as at a synchrotron bending magnet), these methods are not easily scalable to large crystals (e.g., crystal focusing elements for synchrotron beamlines) due to the mechanical inaccuracies inherent in moving the various optical components. We present a method based on a scanning source which simplifies the problems in scaling double-crystal methods to large optics. In addition, results using this method are presented on a ribless sagittal focusing Si(111) crystal demonstrating that the anticlastic deviation can be made to be less than {plus_minus}1 s of arc over a 1-cm-long section parallel to the sagittal axis.
