Abstract: A resilience enhancement-oriented energy storage control method and system for a distributed generator (DG) in a distribution network. The method includes: determining an objective function including a first sub-objective function and a second sub-objective function; determining an outer-level constraint based on a quantity of configured energy storage systems (ESSs), a quantity of hardened lines, and a rated power and capacity configuration of an ESS; determining a middle-level constraint based on a line failure; determining an inner-level constraint based on node power of a distribution network, a line load capacity, a line power flow, a power output of a unit, a node voltage, climbing of the unit, operation of the ESS, and LS; determining parameters based on the outer-level constraint, the first sub-objective function, the middle-level constraint, the inner-level constraint, and the second sub-objective function; and controlling energy storage of a DG in the distribution network.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for a novel bead-based next-generation “X-aptamer” selection scheme that extends aptamer technology to include X-modified bases, thus resulting in X-aptamers, at any position along the sequence because the aptamers are chemically synthesized via a split-pool scheme on individual beads. Also provides are application to a wide range of commonly used DNA modifications, including, but not limited to, monothioate and dithioate backbone substitutions. This new class of aptamer allows chemical modifications introduced to any of the bases in the aptamer sequence as well as the phosphate backbones and can be extended to other carbohydrate-based systems.
