LES and wind tunnel studies have shown significant benefit when allowing turbines (T) in a wind farm to adopt different heights. This work presents two new genetic algorithms (GA) that perform wind farm layout optimization (WFLO) involving continuous and t ...
Magnetically-levitated drives are interesting in applications which demand a combination of reliable operation and high speeds. In the latter domain, slotless stators are recognized as the most suitable, as they deliver higher power density and lower speed ...
The water-in-salt approach has expanded the electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes, enabling novel aqueous batteries with relatively high cell voltages and energy densities. However, the stability of these electrolytes tends to be overest ...
Design of medical sensor implants is very challenging due to numerous restrictions in terms of size and biological acceptability. In addition, large absorption and reflection of electromagnetic waves in body tissues significantly degrades the communication ...
The dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) is a technology known to potentially provide high energy density (0.3 - 0.4 J.cm(-3)). However, in the literature, few demonstrations have been done to evaluate this figure. To well understand the ability of this tec ...
In this work, several carbon-decorated Na3V2(PO4)(3) materials (NVP@C-750/800/850) are successfully fabricated using a solgel approach and subsequent heat treatment. When NVP@C-800 is used as a cathode, it shows an ultralong cycle life (2000 cycles) at a h ...
Prompt development of electronic devices and sensors raised the requirement for design/fabrication of advanced energy sources capable of providing considerable amount of energy for consuming platforms through practical nanotechnological approaches. For thi ...
This paper describes steady-state reactor physics measurements and calculations that were performed for the Training Reactor of Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME TR) with the purpose of benchmarking. Based on the available geometry speci ...
2021 will likely witness the advent of low loss hollow-core optical fibers outperforming the classical solid core fibers. This will be a revolutionary breakthrough, primarily for longer distance telecommunications with drastically reduced distortions and c ...
Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained widespread attention in recent years as the dominant strategy for curbing CO2 emissions through transport electrification. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the most suitable and almost exclusively employed ener ...
