The energy transition's ultimate goal is to meet energy demand from human activities sustainably. Accordingly, the penetration of new renewable energy sources (RES) such as photovoltaic panels and wind turbines is increasing in most power grids. In their c ...
We introduce a unique intelligent system that relies on the centre of mass motions for conveying the user's motion intention. The objective of this device is to achieve a standing mobility vehicle for users with lower body impairments, such as spinal cord ...
This study presents a comprehensive analysis on the energy demand and supply of typical European city centers for present time and 2050 horizon according to the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) climatic scenario A1B. Building and urban arc ...
Situational-awareness methods and technologies are crucial elements to ensure power systems reliability and security as they are used by automated decision-making processes of mission-critical applications. Inadequate system monitoring results in incorrect ...
Conventional generators in power grids are steadily substituted with new renewable sources of electric power. The latter are connected to the grid via inverters and as such have little, if any rotational inertia. The resulting reduction of total inertia ra ...
The increasing penetration of new renewable sources of electrical energy reduces the overall mechanical inertia available in power grids. This raises a number of issues regarding grid stability over short to medium time scales. A number of approaches have ...
One of the most accurate methods for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation uses a combination of the dynamic Fourier method with the split-operator algorithm on a tensor-product grid. To reduce the number of required grid points, we let the grid ...
Two characteristics that make convex decomposition algorithms attractive are simplicity of operations and generation of parallelizable structures. In principle, these schemes require that all coordinates update at the same time, i.e., they are synchronous ...
We consider the problem of controlling heteroge-neous controllable resources of a distribution network with the objective of achieving a certain power flow at the grid connection point while respecting local grid constraints. The problem is formulated as a ...
This report adds to findings concerning the impact of advanced electricity tariff structures on grid-connected hybrid photovoltaic-battery systems. A representative database of 1'608 buildings in the city of Rolle was clustered into 15 medoids. For these 1 ...
