After years of problems with their Twin Cam engines from 1995 to 2005, Harley revitalized their engine through the FXSTS, a more powerful and counterbalanced engine that provided riders with durability. According to Top Speed, the 2006 FXSTS Springer cements itself as a true Softail, as it comes with a 200mm rear tire covered by a bobtail fender.
Willie D – More Power (2005)
Interdependent Natural Gas and Electricity Systems (sponsored by the National Science Foundation): As the power grid shifts rapidly towards natural gas for electricity generation and away from other fuels, the grid becomes more dependent on the deliverability of fuel from the natural gas transmission system. Extreme winter cold events have raised questions about the capacity of the natural gas pipeline system to deliver sufficient fuel to power plants. This interdisciplinary program of research, which integrates economics, optimization and computer science, develops computational models for the joint planning and operations of coupled natural gas and electric power systems that captures non-convex flow phenomenon as well as processes of price formation for electricity and natural gas. The project has also developed computational test beds with realistic gas and power grid topologies. The models, which are open-source and can be accessed on Github at lanl-ansi/micot-gasgrid, are useful for evaluating infrastructure planning alternatives, electricity and gas pricing systems, and network resilience. 2ff7e9595c
