This work discusses solar power towers and especially the simulation and optimization of heliostat fields. The technological stateof the art is given through typical characteristic values and dimensions of some existing central tower power plants such as t ...
Water and energy are the key resources required for both economic and population growth, and yet both are increasingly scarce. The distribution of water takes large amounts of energy, while the production of energy requires large amounts of water in proces ...
Nanometer CMOS scaling has resulted in greatly increased circuit variability, with extremely adverse consequences on design predictability and yield. A number of recent works have focused on adaptive post-fabrication tuning approaches to mitigate this prob ...
The paper presents the development of a very high speed (200 krpm, 2 kW) slotless permanent magnet motor, using an analytical model. The multiphysics analytical model allows a quick optimization process. The presented model includes the magnetic fields, th ...

Simulation of a pure-solar combined-cycle solar thermal power was performed in order to analyse the thermodynamic and economic performance. An open volumetric receiver and packed-bed storage concept was considered. For a 15 MWe power plant, an exergetic ef ...
The proposed project addresses the optimal integration of a steam reforming process in a gas turbine power plant. In this configuration, the H2 produced by the way of natural gas fuel reforming is burned in the "clean" gas turbine and the upstream CO2 is r ...
