On a class of new and practical performance indexes for approximation of fold bifurcations of nonlinear power flow equations

Efficient measurement of the performance index (the distance of a loading parameter from the voltage collapse point) is one of the key problems in power system operations and planning and such an index indicates the severity of a power system with regard to voltage collapse. There exist many interesting methods and ideas to compute this index. However, some successful methods are not yet mathematically justified while other mathematically sound methods are often proposed directly based on the bifurcation theory and they require the initial stationary state to be too close to the unknown turning point to make the underlying methods practical.This paper first gives a survey of several popular methods for estimating the fold bifurcation point including the continuation methods, bifurcation methods and the test function methods (Seydel's direct solution methods, the tangent vector methods and the reduced Jacobian method) and discuss their relative advantages and problems. Test functions are usually based on scaling of the determinant of the Jacobian matrix and it is generally not clear how to determine the behaviour of such functions. As the underlying nonlinear equations are of a particular type, this allows us to do a new analysis of the determinants of the Jacobian and its submatrices in this paper. Following the analysis, we demonstrate how to construct a class of test functions with a predictable analytical behaviour so that a suitable index can be produced. Finally, examples of two test functions from this class are proposed. For several standard IEEE test systems, promising numerical results have been achieved.

Synthesis of Tri- and Disalicylaldehydes and Their Chiral Schiff Base Compounds

A suitable procedure for convenient preparation of 1,3,5-tris(4-hydroxy-5-formylphenyl)benzene (6) was exploited via 5-bromosalicylaldehyde as starting reactant. Among the obtained products, compound 6, 4-methoxy-3-formylphenylboronic acid (9), 1,3,5-tris(4-methoxy-5-formylphenyl)benzene (10), and 4-methoxy-4′-hydroxyl-3,3′-diformyl-1,1′-diphenyl (11) had not been reported previously. Two new chiral Schiff base ligands, L1 and L2, were obtained from the tri- or disalicylaldehydes.     

A novel multicomponent reaction involving isoquinoline,allenoate and activated ketone

The reaction of isoquinoline and allenoate with activated ketone resulted in a novel three component reaction, affording [1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]isoquinoline derivatives in moderate yields along with moderate diastereoselectivities via 1,4-dipolar cycloaddition. It was also found that when isatins were used as substrates, the regioselectivity of cycloadducts was different from those using ethyl trifluoropyruvate as substrate.     

Facile Synthesis of MOF-derived Mn3O4@N-doped Carbon with Efficient Oxygen Reduction

Integration of MnO_x into the carbon matrix proves a viable strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of MnO_x materials. Mn₃O₄ nanoparticle-decorated N-doped carbon composites (Mn₃O₄@N-doped carbon) were facilely prepared from a non-porous eight-fold interpenetrated Zn^II-based MOF, which involves first synthesis of bimetallic Mn/Zn-MOF in one-pot reaction followed by direct pyrolysis at 1000 °C. In 0.1 m KOH solution, the optimal Mn₃O₄@N-doped carbon exhibits decent oxygen reduction activity with the onset potential (E_onset) of 0.94 V (vs. RHE) and half-wave potential (E_1/2) of 0.81 V (vs. RHE), excellent methanol tolerance as well as good durability.
