  • Publication number: 20240166987
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioelectrode for increasing abundance of cable bacteria, including an anode, a cathode, and a partition. The anode is horizontally disposed, and the cathode is disposed perpendicular to the anode. The anode and the cathode are separated by using the partition. An objective of the present invention is to provide a method for keeping a high abundance of the cable bacteria in sediments when oxygen content of overlying water is low and even in an anaerobic environment. The method can be further performed in a self-starting manner, and has a potential application prospect in ecological remediation of sediments.

  • Publication number: 20240133975
    Abstract: A computerized simulation validating method for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test is implemented by simulating a full-scale test system with external quantities being controlled to be conformant and validating the full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test based on a conformance check result between the internal quantities of the field testing and the internal quantities of the simulation testing. The simulation validating method for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test improves normalization and conformance of the full-scale distribution network ground fault test. The computerized simulation validating system, apparatus, and medium for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test also achieve the benefits noted above.
