Microgrids, with integrated PV systems and nonlinear loads, have grown significantly in popularity in recent years, making the evaluation of their transient behaviors in grid-connected and islanded operations paramount. This study examines a microgrid’s low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) and high-voltage ride-through (HVRT) capabilities in these operational scenarios. The microgrid’s behavior was analyzed using both electromagnetic transient (EMT) and RMS simulation methods. Two operational modes, grid-connected and islanded, were considered. A three-phase diesel generator acted as a reference machine in islanded mode. Findings highlighted distinct behaviors in the two operational modes. The EMT simulation revealed in-depth characteristics of electrical parameters, showing high-frequency oscillations more precisely than the RMS simulation. Additionally, the transient recovery times were longer in islanded mode compared to grid-connected mode. The EMT simulation offers a more detailed portrayal of transient behaviors than the RMS simulation, especially in capturing high-frequency disturbances. However, its completion time becomes significantly extended with longer simulation durations. Microgrids showcase distinct transient behaviors in grid-connected versus islanded modes, especially in LVRT and HVRT scenarios. These findings are critical for the design and operation of modern microgrids.

Biopolymers obtained from renewable resources are an interesting alternative to conventional polymers obtained from fossil resources, as they are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester produced from 100% renewable plant resources and plays a key role in the biopolymer market, and is experiencing ever-increasing use worldwide. Unfortunately, this biopolymer has some usage limitations when compared with traditional polymers; therefore, blending it with other biopolymers, such as poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate) (PBSA), poly(butylene adipate-co-butylene terephthalate) (PBAT) and different poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA), is considered an interesting method to improve it significantly, customize its properties and extend the range of its applications. The following review highlights, in its first part, the physico-chemical and mechanical properties of PLA in comparison to the other biopolymers listed above, highlighting the various drawbacks of PLA. The second part of the review deals with recent developments, results, and perspectives in the field of PLA-based blends.

Abstract The adsorption, electrokinetic and stability properties of yttrium(III) oxide—Y 2 O 3 in mixed solutions of macromolecular compounds were investigated. The interfacial behavior of poly(acrylic acid)-PAA and poly(ethylene glycol)—PEG in single and binary systems was examined in the pH range 3–10. The polymers used were characterized by different ionic nature—the PAA is an anionic polymer, whereas PEG belongs to the group of non-ionic polymers. Based on the results obtained, the most probable mechanisms for the binding of PAA and PEG macromolecules on the yttrium(III) oxide surface were proposed. In addition, the analysis of adsorption and electrokinetic data enabled explanation of the obtained changes in the stability of Y 2 O 3 suspensions without and in the presence of PAA or/and PEG, as well as determination of the specific stabilization-destabilization mechanisms of the studied systems. It was shown that yttrium(III) oxide modification by mixed adsorption layers of both polymers with different ionic character changes considerably the surface and stability properties of the examined solid suspensions.
