    Abstract: The present invention relates to the devices and method comprising microelectrode arrays for the differentiation, maturation and functional analysis of electroconductive cells, including muscle cells (including, but not limited to, cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle myocytes and smooth muscle myocytes) and neuronal cells. The microelectrode present on the arrays can be used to stimulate and record from cells cultured on the substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate has a substantially smooth surface, and in other embodiments the substrate is nanotextured, including an array of substantially parallel grooves and ridges of nanometer-micrometer widths.

    Abstract: An operating configuration for a power system during a particular time period may be derived from a net load forecast for the power system during the particular time period. The operating configuration may be based on characteristics of power generation units (PGUs) available within the power system (e.g., power generators). The characteristics of a PGU may include a generation trajectory for the PGU that defines, inter alia, power generated by the PGU as the PGU ramps up power production within the power system. The generation trajectory of PGUs may be evaluated in view of the net load forecast to ensure that adequate power resources are available within the power system and avoid ramping scarcity conditions.
