Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes extending simulation results and input data of a DC production cost model (PCM) of a power grid to an initial AC power flow model (PFM) using a generation distribution mapping and load distribution mapping of a related PFM base example associated with the PCM, and automatically producing a chronological series of converged AC PFM solutions associated with a PCM time series by, for each time step of the PCM time series: (i) updating inputs of an AC PFM using (a) PCM results of the current time step and (b) solution outputs of a converged AC PFM obtained from a previous PCM time step, and (ii) iteratively, reducing nodal loads by a gradual amount configured to account for power grid power flow losses unaccounted for by the PCM and performing AC PFM numerical analyses, until: (a) an AC PFM convergence is obtained and (b) a real power generation slack bus is less than or equal to a predefined tolerance in relation to a slack bus of the PCM results of the current time step.

Abstract: A sealing sleeve for a stator of an electrical machine is disclosed. The sealing sleeve is configured to provide that a coolant flowing around the stator coils follows a predefined, serpentine coolant path. The sleeve has two sealing rings arranged on the stator with the coils of the stator lying between them. Each sealing ring includes a hard component and a soft component. The sleeve is arranged on the stator such that sealing sections of the soft component bear against the surfaces of the stator coils and adapt to the coil surfaces. As such, no coolant may pass between the coils and the sealing rings at these sealing locations thus formed, and therefore the desired coolant flow is guaranteed. Furthermore, the sealing rings are configured such that alternately for each coil only one of the sealing rings has a sealing section so that ultimately the serpentine coolant flow is achieved.
