Abstract The market power mitigation method of the supply-side has become one of the key points affecting the stability of the electricity spot market. Different mitigation mechanisms are used in the current mature electricity markets of the world. However, the same market power mitigation mechanism shows different effects in different market environments. Every market operator in the world needs the most efficient way to mitigate market power. Considering that there is no relevant literature discussing the market power effects of different mitigation methods in detail, the mitigation effects need to be discussed and further researched. So, we analyze the effects of… More >

Abstract Prediction of fatigue crack growth in mechanical component is one of the most important problems to prevent catastrophic fracture accident. FEM is generally used for this purpose, but as crack shape changes during growing process, it is necessary to re-mesh for new crack shape. It is time consuming and is very difficult especially for 3-d. problem.
In this study, S-version FEM^[1][2] is employed to solve this problem, and fully automatic crack growth simulation system is made by combining with automatic mesh generationsystem. In the 3-d. field, crack tip stressconditionbecomes under mixed mode condition, and three stress intensity factor, K_I,K_II and… More >
