Why Stationary Storage is a Game-Changer for Energy Models!

Image
The rapid growth of embedded storage capacity in South Africa between 2022 and 2024 has been primarily driven by residential users and telecommunication companies seeking resilience against frequent power supply interruptions. While these interruptions peaked in 2023 and have since decreased, the role of embedded storage in stabilizing energy access has become a critical point of investigation. Current planning models for the South African electricity system fail to incorporate embedded storage, raising concerns about distorted outcomes in system planning and forecasting. The Role of Embedded Storage in Electricity System Planning Embedded storage plays a crucial role in mitigating supply risks, particularly in contexts where generation capacity is unreliable. By not incorporating embedded storage in electricity planning models, forecasts risk underestimating the true flexibility of the system. This gap may lead to inefficient infrastructure investments, misaligned demand-supply bala...

Cybersecurity in Smart Cities using CCPOA-HDLM

Image
  Smart cities integrate advanced technologies to enhance urban living, but they also introduce severe cybersecurity challenges due to interconnected systems and large-scale data flows. Conventional security models are often inadequate in identifying multistep and evolving attacks, leading to high false alarms and compromised resilience. To address these issues, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions are increasingly being employed to secure smart environments. This research introduces the Cybersecurity using Crested Porcupine Optimizer Algorithm with Hybrid Deep Learning Models (CCPOA-HDLM), a novel approach designed to enhance detection, classification, and defense capabilities in smart city networks. Cybersecurity Challenges in Smart Cities Smart cities rely on interconnected infrastructures, including transportation, healthcare, energy grids, and communication systems. These networks are highly vulnerable to cyber threats such as intrusion,...

Structural and Functional Insights into PINK1 Variants in Parkinson’s Disease

Image
  Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor dysfunction and neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Genetic mutations play a significant role in its etiology, and among the implicated genes, PINK1 has emerged as a crucial factor in maintaining mitochondrial health. This study focuses on the identification and analysis of deleterious non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in the kinase domain of PINK1, using computational approaches to unravel their pathogenic potential. Role of PINK1 in Mitochondrial Dysfunction PINK1, a mitochondrial-targeted serine/threonine kinase, is vital for cellular defense against stress-induced mitochondrial damage. Mutations in this gene impair mitochondrial quality control and are strongly associated with autosomal recessive Parkinsonism. Investigating the molecular mechanisms by which pathogenic SNPs alter PINK1 structure and function can provide valuable insights into disea...
