Summary: This paper proposes a new method for estimating the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure. The method combines incremental capacity analysis, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) for fitting. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high accuracy and generalization ability, simplifies the prediction process, and reduces subjective operations.

Summary: The modernization of energy distribution grids due to the expected increase in global electricity demand and adoption of green energy sources has led to the development of microgrids, which improve electric power system reliability. The integration of electric vehicles is expected to have a negative impact on microgrid operation, but a decentralized energy management system based on multi-agent systems and fuzzy logic controller has been developed to efficiently charge EVs. This system reduces investment costs, increases chargeable EVs, and decreases peak load and load variances without delaying charging, offering operational and financial benefits for islanding distribution grids with a high penetration of electric vehicles.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of surface quality on the irradiation behavior of tungsten. The experimental results show that tungsten samples with high surface quality exhibit better retention behavior in hydrogen irradiation but are prone to surface roughening after helium irradiation. Additionally, different surface morphologies are related to the crystallographic orientation of tungsten.

Summary: In this study, glasses with different formulations were fabricated using the melt-quench technique, and their structural and radiation shielding properties were analyzed using XRD method. The results showed that the addition of V2O5 increased the density and elastic modulus of the glasses, while decreasing the molar volume. The glasses with different formulations exhibited varying levels of radiation shielding capacity, with the APPV5.0 glasses showing the best performance.

Summary: In this study, sensitivity analysis of thermal and hydraulic parameters in a high-level radioactive waste disposal repository was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics. The study concluded that thermal conductivity and hydraulic conductivity are high sensitivity parameters, while specific heat capacity, water density, and water compressibility are low sensitivity parameters. The proposed double-layer buffer barrier is advantageous for improving repository safety.

Summary: This paper presents a metamodel framework to predict the thermophysical parameters of Fe3O4-coated MWCNT hybrid nanofluids. GEP and ANFIS models are used for prediction and are validated and compared. The results show that the GEP model outperforms the ANFIS model in most indicators. The generated metamodel can be used to replace expensive and repetitive laboratory procedures.

Summary: The primary uses of molten salt in energy technologies are in power production and energy storage. Molten salt is well-suited to advanced energy technologies and offers advantages such as higher heat capacity and compact-sized systems. It can be used in molten salt reactors, concentrated solar power plants, and nuclear hybrid energy systems. However, there are challenges related to radiological and chemistry issues, including tritium production and corrosion. Careful consideration of salt types and further research is needed to address these challenges.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of initial water content on the swelling characteristics of compacted bentonite. The results show that the swelling pressure decreases and the swelling deformation reduces with increasing initial water content. The microstructure of the specimens is significantly affected by water content, and uniaxial compaction may induce anisotropy in the bentonite, resulting in variation in swelling potential.
