It is worth noting that Australia Day commemorates the dumping of a cargo of the outcasts of Britain on the shores of the Australian continent. It was not an act of escaping religious oppression, as in the case of America, or the founding of a new political order, as in France.

The microgrid paradigm has gained much interest in the electricity industry due to the increased penetration of distributed resources. A grid-tied microgrid can be viewed as a single generating entity or a load depending on its power export and import at the grid supply point. Similar to conventional generators, grid-tied microgrids have the potential to be able to participate in the energy market in the future to achieve technical, financial and environmental benefits. Effective participation in the energy markets requires numerous planning tools and a comprehensive understanding of the full capability of the microgrid. This paper presents a systematic approach for developing a capability diagram for a grid-tied microgrid which represents the active and reactive power exchange capability of the microgrid with the main grid. Capability diagrams have been developed for two different microgrids and the impacts of different modelling aspects and network conditions have been analysed using several case studies. Effects of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, capacitor banks, and other storage devices on microgrid capability diagram have also been addressed in this paper. Furthermore, operating points of the capability diagram have been verified using time domain simulations.

Microgrids comprising multiple distributed energy resources are being increasingly integrated into electricity networks. Considering the multiplicity of the distributed energy resources, it is impractical to represent them as detailed models in power system simulations. Hence, it will be attractive for electricity utilities to employ simplified models of microgrids in dynamic studies. This paper proposes a method for representing grid-Tied microgrids as simplified models in such studies. The proposed aggregated modelling approach investigates the applicability of modal analysis as a tool for model aggregating of grid-Tied microgrids. A new step to automate the selection of dominant modes is introduced in the model aggregating procedure. Validity of the reduced order dynamic equivalents is tested under different operating conditions. The paper demonstrates that the enhanced modal analysis reduces the model order and enables the representation of a hybrid microgrid in terms of the states of the microgrid PCC, while preserving the important dynamics.

Microgrids comprising multiple distributed resources are being increasingly considered for integration into electricity networks. Considering the multiplicity of the distributed resources in a single location and distributed nature of such single entities, it is impractical to represent them as detailed models in power system simulations. Hence, it will be attractive for electricity utilities to employ simplified models of microgrids in dynamic studies. This paper proposes a method for representing grid-tied microgrids as simplified generator or load units in such studies. For this purpose, the paper takes an approach in investigating the applicability of modal analysis as a tool for model equivalencing of grid-tied microgrids with inverter and non-inverter interfaced distributed generators. Validity of the reduced order dynamic equivalents is tested under different operating conditions: power export and import modes, with different load types and fault conditions. Scalability of the model equivalencing approach is demonstrated using a case study developed based on the IEEE 13-Bus test feeder. Furthermore, the model equivalencing is applied on microgrids in a multi-microgrid environment to validate the methodology. The dynamic model equivalent of the microgrid can be represented as a current source at the point of common coupling while retaining all imperative dynamic characteristics. The proposed methodology is also applicable to distribution network clusters comprising distributed generators.

Increasing penetration of distributed resources have enabled the development of the microgrid concept. Similar to traditional generators, microgrids can participate in the energy market to achieve technical, economical and environmental benefits. In order to facilitate the participation in energy markets, microgrid operators need to be aware of the full capability of the microgrids. This paper presents a systematic approach for developing a capability chart for a grid-tied microgrid which represents the active and reactive power capability at the grid supply point. Capability charts have been developed for two different microgrids and the impacts of different modelling aspects have been analysed under several scenarios. Furthermore, operating points of the capability charts have been verified using time-domain simulations.

Jane L Collins and Victoria Mayer's book, Both Hands Tied: Welfare Reform and the Race to the Bottom of the Low-Wage Labor Market provides a timely analysis on the state of contemporary welfare reform in the USA with a focus on the lives of 33 women in Milwaukee and Racine, Wisconsin, As the book notes, these areas were formerly manufacturing centres but in the recent years have experienced deindustrialization and an emergent service-based economy that continues to have quite dramatic effects on the lives of low-wage workers.

Tied Knowledge is a book designed to provide a practical conceptual framework for understanding the dynamics of higher education. Using examples primarily from Australia, Britain and the United States, it examines power structures both outside and inside academia and how they interact and shape knowledge. These structures include hierarchy, disciplines, patriarchy, the state, capitalism and professions. Academia as a system of power itself both resists and accommodates these other power systems. The key resource used by the academics to promote their interests is the power to create and legitimate knowledge. By its form and content, this knowledge is tied to both the interests of academics and to those of powerful groups in society. The book is neither pro nor anti-academia. Instead, it focusses on the structural factors shaping academic behaviour so that initiatives can strengthen and broaden the positive features of academia while trying to overcome the negative features. A key portion of the book is an examination and assessment of the main strategies that have been used to reform or challenge the nature and uses of academic power.

Diplomová práce se zabývá návrhem mateřské školy v Třinci Lyžbicích. Objekt je navržen jako samostatně stojící budova o dvou nadzemních podlažích. Půdorys má tvar písmene „T“. Mateřská škola má dvě oddělení, z nichž každé je určeno pro 20 dětí. Součástí je také multifunkční místnost, dvě třídy pro zájmové kroužky, kuchyň a technické zázemí. Svislé konstrukce jsou navrženy z vápenopískových tvárnic s dřevěným obložením na fragmentu fasády. Část objektu je zastřešená plochou střechou, část šikmou vazníkovou střechou., The master's thesis deals with the project documentation of the kindergarten in Třinec Lyžice. The structure is designed as a detached building with two floors. The ground plan is in the shape of the letter „T”. The kindergarten has two compartments, each of them is intended for 20 children, There is also multifunctional room, two rooms for leisure time activities, a kitchen and technical facilities in the building. The vertical support structures are designed from sand-lime bricks with wooden particeboards on fragment of facade. A part of the building is topped by a flat roof, and the ohter part with a pitched tieded roof
