Energy storage and demand response offer critical flexibility to support the integration of intermittent renewable energy and ensure the stable operation of the power system. Using the ERA5 dataset and hourly power load data, this study develops an hourly-based dynamic optimization model to assess the roles of energy storage and demand response in Chinese (2050) power structure under high renewable energy penetration. The results revea; that: (1) Energy storage and demand response significantly contribute to reducing power transition cost, carbon emission, and power curtailment.

Background: Existing literature explores the relationship between voluntary work, loneliness, and social isolation, but there is a lack of research on how the onset and cessation of voluntary work relate to loneliness and social isolation among older adults. Many in this population may discontinue volunteering due to various life circumstances, making it important to investigate the longitudinal significance of these transitions. This study aims to assess whether engaging in volunteer work during retirement age is associated with changes in loneliness and social isolation.
