Large Scale Deployment of PV Units in Existing Distribution Networks: Optimization of the Installation Layout

Mario Paolone, Michael Lehning, Fabrizio Sossan, Annelen Kahl, Stuart John Bartlett, Jana Darulová

In fixed PV installations, the azimuth and tilt of the panels are normally chosen with the objective of maximizing the plant capacity factor. In this paper, we show that when considering distribution networks with densely clustered PV plants, there exist i ...

Using GIS data and satellite-derived irradiance to optimize siting of PV installations in Switzerland

Michael Lehning, Fabrizio Sossan, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Annelen Kahl, Viet Anh Nguyen, Stuart John Bartlett

For a successful distribution strategy of PV installations, it does not suffice to choose the locations with highest annual total irradiance. Attention needs to be given to spatial correlation patterns of insolation to avoid large system-wide variations, w ...

Modeling of Ion Crossover in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries: A Computationally-Efficient Lumped Parameter Approach for Extended Cycling

Christopher Raymond Dennison

In this work, we have developed a zero-dimensional vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) model which accounts for all modes of vanadium crossover and enables prediction of long-term performance of the system in a computationally-efficient manner. Using this m ...

The roles of coupling and the deviation matrix in determining the value of capacity in M/M/1/C queues

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne

In an M/M/1/C queue, customers are lost when they arrive to find C customers already present. Assuming that each arriving customer brings a certain amount of revenue, we are interested in calculating the value of an extra waiting place in terms of the expe ...

Location Based Study of the Annual Thermal Loads with Microstructured Windows in European Climates

André Gabriel Kostro, Josef Andreas Schuler, Sara Vanzo

Glazed envelopes can cause significant thermal energy gains or losses. The installation of a novel design of Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS), such as embedded mirrors, could significantly contribute to reduce the energy consumption. In order to determin ...

Effect of partial-thickness tear on loading capacities of the supraspinatus tendon: a finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

Partial-thickness tears of the supraspinatus tendon frequently occur at its insertion on the greater tubercule of the humerus, causing pain and reduced strength and range of motion. The goal of this work was to quantify the loss of loading capacity due to ...

SFRC flat slabs punching behaviour - Experimental research

António Manuel Pinho Ramos, Duarte Miguel Viúla Faria

The use of randomly distributed steel fibres in the concrete mix improves its mechanical properties. In the particular case of a flat slab-column connection, this solution can provide slabs with an increased load capacity and deformation capacity, allowing ...

Pressure measurements and high speed visualizations of the cavitation phenomena at deep part load condition in a Francis turbine

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller, Keita Yamamoto

In a hydraulic power plant, it is essential to provide a reliable, sustainable and flexible energy supply. In recent years, in order to cover the variations of the renewable electricity production, hydraulic power plants are demanded to operate with more e ...
