Abstract
Der Beitrag soll zur Klärung der Frage beitragen, ob das Ehegattensplitting, wie vielfach behauptet wird, einen negativen Einfluss auf das Arbeitsverhalten verheirateter Frauen hat. Hierzu kommt für Deutschland erstmals ein von Quasi-Experimenten inspirierter Ansatz zum Einsatz, bei dem anhand des allgemeinen Effekts der Heirat auf das Erwerbsverhalten der heiratenden Frauen die Wirkung des Ehegattensplittings geschätzt wird. Die Veränderung des Arbeitsverhaltens heiratender Frauen wird dabei der Veränderung bei jenen Frauen gegenübergestellt, die im gleichen Zeitraum weiterhin mit ihrem festen Partner zusammenleben, ohne zu heiraten (Kontrollgruppe). Die Ergebnisse sprechen eindeutig gegen einen unmittelbaren negativen Effekt des Ehegattensplittings auf das Erwerbsverhalten von Frauen. Jedoch reduzieren heiratende und zeitgleich ein Kind bekommende Frauen ihre Erwerbstätigkeit stärker als gebärende Frauen in der Kontrollgruppe. In Folge einer lediglich teilweisen Abschaffung des Ehegattensplittings, die in den Entwürfen zu Parteiprogrammen zur Bundestagswahl 2021 teilweise gefordert wird, sind sogar noch geringere Effekte auf das Arbeitsverhalten zu erwarten.

Abstract
Porous media compressed air energy storage (PM-CAES) systems that use porous geological formations such as sandstone may provide large storage capacities in future energy systems based primarily on fluctuating renewable energy sources. In CAES systems, the instantaneous power and stored energy are closely linked to the storage pressure and the mass flow rate achievable in the geological reservoir. Therefore, a coupled simulator that accurately represents the power plant, the geostorage site, and their interactions during all potential PM-CAES system operation modes is presented in this paper. Using adiabatic and diabatic power plant topology test designs, strong feedback between the achievable storage rates and capacities of the chosen power plant design and geostorage site are found, thus confirming the benefit of this integrated modelling approach. Using a generic, highly cyclic load profile for daily peak shaving with charging and discharging rates of 100 MW and an adiabatic power plant topology, it is found that all discharging targets can be met but the achievable charging rates decrease to approximately 95 MW due to increased pressure in the geostorage after approximately 10 cycles. When a diabatic power plant design is considered, a long-term decrease in the geostorage pressure is found. Correspondingly, the charging power always meets the specifications, while the discharging power decreases slowly from the 20th storage cycle onwards to 79 MW in the 31st cycle. The newly developed simulation tool thus allows one to predict achievable power rates and geostorage pressures for PM-CAES systems, enabling the identification of efficient PM-CAES designs.

Abstract
Despite the significant attention devoted to the impact of corporate greening strategies on firm performance, research has so far focused on established firms, leaving the situation in new firms unclear. In this study, it is hypothesised that the impact of greening strategies on the performance of new firms depends on the type of strategy, and that the firm s age positively moderates this impact. Using a cross-sectoral dataset of 11,039 new firms from 36 countries, binary and ordinal logistic regressions were estimated for different start-up phases. The results indicate that new firms benefit from substantive greening strategies but, contrary to expectations, not from symbolic greening strategies. The performance of new firms in their later start-up phases was even found to be harmed if they adopt symbolic strategies but do not reinforce them with substantive actions (green-washing). No impact, or only a weakly positive impact was found for firms adopting both substantive and symbolic greening strategies (green-highlighting) or only substantive ones (brown-washing). Furthermore, the interaction analyses did not reveal any moderating effects of firm age, but additional investigation shows that the impacts of greening strategies do differ between age groups. Finally, robustness tests reveal that the relationship between substantive greening strategies and the performance of new firms is not linear but decreases with increasing environmental efforts.

Abstract
Grid Frequency Data - WETI
Overview
Data type: grid frequency data
File type: CSV
Location of measurement: Flensburg, Germany
Resolution: ~ 6.1Hz
Measurement precision: 3 decimal
Decription
The presented grid frequency data is part of research activities at the Wind Energy Technology Instiute (WETI) at the Flensburg University of Applied Sciences. The measurement campaign is conducted in Flensburg, Germany. Hence, the grid frequency of the synchronous area of Continental Europe is tracked. A Dewetron 2010 measurement system is used to record and compute the data. The measurement system computes the grid frequency by tracking the grid voltage with a high sampling rate of 50 kHz. Every 164 ms the software fits a sinusoidal curve into the recorded voltage measurement points using the least-square-sums approach. The period of the resulting sinusoidal function is used as a measure for grid frequency.

Abstract
In many electrical grids, the share of renewable energy generation increases. As these generators are typically connected to the grid via inverters, the level of grid inertia decreases. Such grids may therefore suffer from high rates of change of frequency during power imbalances. Modern wind turbines can help in controlling the frequency in such grids by providing synthetic inertia. A controller to provide synthetic inertia with wind turbines was developed at the Wind Energy Technology Institute in collaboration with Suzlon Energy. For this controller the influence of providing synthetic inertia on the mechanical loads of the wind turbine is assessed for different grid frequency scenarios. Such a scenario-based load analysis has not been published before, especially as the scenarios are derived from real measurements. The effect of the loads strongly depends on the analyzed grid frequency behavior. Ten months of high quality grid frequency measurements of the Indian grid are analyzed in order to derive inputs for the load calculation. Different types of grid frequency abnormities are identified and categorized with respect to their severity. Based on the observed occurrences of the grid frequency abnormities, realistic scenarios for the load calculations are chosen. The load calculations are performed for a state-of-the-art Suzlon wind turbine generator. The load increases caused by the supply of synthetic inertia are calculated for individual components assuming an otherwise undisturbed power production of the wind turbine in turbulent wind. Furthermore, a hardware-in-the-loop test bench is used to show how the measured grid frequencies are actually perceived by the control system of a typical wind turbine. The original frequency data were recorded with high quality measurement equipment, which is faster and more accurate than a multi-function relay, often used in wind turbines. For exemplary time traces, the effect of the reduced measurement accuracy on the reaction of the wind turbine is shown. This aspect has not been investigated in the literature yet. The results show that wind turbines can provide synthetic inertia without a considerable effect on the lifetime of the wind turbine. However, there are still problems with providing synthetic inertia reliably at high power operating points, which have to be solved.
