Causes and Directions of Student Migration Using Polish and Portugese Students as an Example

Abstract
This paper analyses the directions and causes of student migration in the information society at economic universities in Poland and Portugal. An international survey was conducted among students born between 1981 and 1995. The research included a group of 121 Polish and 55 Portuguese students. The conclusions of the study confirm the hypothesis that the place of residence/country of origin has a significant effect on the direction of migration. Furthermore, the causes of migration are largely dependent on the gender of the respondents and their professional status.

Abstract
This paper proposes a "grey-box" dynamic equivalent model for medium voltage active distribution networks, taking into account a heterogeneous fleet of generation technologies alongside the latest European grid codes requirements. It aims to properly represent the transient behavior of the system upon large voltage disturbances in the transmission side. The proposed equivalent model is composed by four main components: two equivalent generation units, one for converter-connected units' representation, and another accounting for the synchronous generation units' portfolio; an equivalent composite load model; and a battery energy storage system, also converter-connected to the grid. The model's parameters are estimated by an evolutionary particle swarm optimization algorithm, by comparing a fully-detailed model of a medium voltage distribution network with the equivalent model's frequency domain's responses of active and reactive power flows, at the boundary of distribution-transmission interface substation.

Abstract
Dendro, a research data management (RDM) platform developed at FEUP/INESC TEC since 2014, was initially targeted at collaborative data storage and description in preparation for deposit in any data repository (CKAN, Zenodo, ePrints or B2Share). We implemented our own data deposit and dataset search features, consolidating the whole RDM workflow in Dendro: dataset exporting, automatic DOI attribution, and a dataset faceted search, among other features. We discuss the challenges faced when implemented these features and how they make Dendro more FAIR.

Abstract
In order to investigate the factors influencing the sustainable guarantee network and its differences in different spatial and temporal scales, logistic regression algorithm is used to analyze the data of listed companies in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China from 2008 to 2017 (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). The study finds that, overall, companies with better profitability, poor solvency, poor operational capability and higher levels of economic development are more likely to join the guarantee network. On the temporal scale, solvency and regional economic development exert increasing higher impact on the companies' accession to the guarantee network, and operational capacity has increasingly smaller impact. On the spatial scale, the less close link between company executives and companies in the western region suggests higher possibility to join the guarantee network. The predictive accuracy test results of the logistic regression algorithm show that the training model of the western sample enterprises has the highest prediction accuracy when predicting enterprise behavior of joining the guarantee network, while the accuracy is the lowest in the central region. When forecasting enterprises' failure to join the guarantee network, the training model of the central sample enterprise has the highest accuracy, while the accuracy is the lowest in the eastern region. This paper discusses the internal and external factors influencing the guarantee network risk from the perspective of spatial and temporal differences of the guarantee network, and discriminates the prediction accuracy of the training model, which means certain guiding significance for listed company management, bank and government to identify and control the guarantee network risk.

Abstract
This paper proposes a new probabilistic model for active low-voltage prosumers suitable for distribution expansion planning studies. The load uncertainty of these consumers is considered through a range of load profiles by segmenting the energy consumption according to the different energy uses. Then, consumption adjustments are simulated using a nonhomogenous Poisson process based on the energy usage preferences and the financial gains according to the tariff scheme. A case study based on the modified IEEE 33-Bus test system with real data collected from a Brazilian distribution company is performed in order to analyze the impact of the load profiles in scenarios with high penetration of renewable distributed generation (DG). The experiments carried out reveal that considerable monetary savings in the expansion of the distribution grid can be achieved for this case study (up to 37%) as compared with the alternative with no active demand (AD) by exploiting the flexibility associated with the active behavior of prosumers as a response to price signals and/or by permitting adequate levels for the integration of DG into the distribution grid.

Grid-forming inverters replacing Diesel generators in small-scale islanded power systems

Abstract
This paper addresses the stability analysis of a real island power system following the transformation occurring in the generation portfolio: from a 100 % synchronous-generation-based system (associated to a fleet of diesel generators) to a hybrid power system dominated by power electronics converters. The integration of a battery-wind-photovoltaic power plant in the island creates the necessary conditions for operating the system without synchronous units scenarios with a system dominated by power electronics - or, at least to minimize its use - scenarios with a reduced number of synchronous units in operation. The possibility of operating the system under these conditions is assured by grid-forming inverters connected to battery energy storage systems, that are responsible for performing frequency and voltage control tasks either in parallel with synchronous units or when synchronous units are disconnected. The resulting transient stability issues for the aforementioned operational scenarios are discussed and evaluated through dynamic simulations.
