Abstract: A power system energy management system with security constrained automatic generation control (SCAGC) is disclosed wherein the power generation output and branch power flow are constrained by security limit. A sub-optimization model is used to calculate SCAGC for each control area in parallel. Graph computing is applied to solve the SCAGC by simplex approach in hierarchical parallel and nodal parallel. The SCAGC is solved heuristically first by combining the equal incremental fuel cost ratio and generation shift factor, and if the heuristics do not converge, a simplex method is used to solve the SCAGC.

Abstract: A solid oxide battery includes a solid electrolyte disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are coupled to an external source or load to charge or discharge the solid oxide battery. The solid electrolyte is formed from a proton conducting material to transport and store hydrogen, which is the source of chemical energy. The second electrode is formed from a noble metal configured to induce formation of oxygen vacancies at the interface between the second electrode and the solid electrolyte. The oxygen vacancies are used to split water molecules during charging of the solid oxide battery, which results in the generation of hydrogen. Under bias, the hydrogen ions are transported into the solid electrolyte and stored. During discharge, a reverse process occurs where hydrogen is used to generate water and electricity.
