Abstract
The world is currently undergoing an energy transition driven by countries’ efforts in decarbonizing their economies to both mitigate anthropogenic global warming and avoid costly fuel supply disruptions. Replacing fossil-fueled generators with renewable energy sources is a key method of decarbonization, but renewable power generation is intermittent and nonsynchronous. These factors decrease synchronous inertia and alter the availability of power on an electrical grid’s supply side, threatening the grid’s stability and reliability. Additionally, shortages in available power can lead to exorbitant electricity prices, threatening the finances of electricity consumers.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
