Accurate modeling of complex terrain, especially steep terrain, in the simulation of wind fields remains a challenge. It is well known that the terrain-following coordinate transformation method (TFCT) generally used in atmospheric flow simulations is rest ...
Multiple-point statistics (MPS) allows simulations reproducing structures of a conceptual model given by a training image (TI) to be generated within a stochastic framework. In classical implementations, fixed search templates are used to retrieve the patt ...
Power system dynamic simulators can be classified according to multiple criteria, including speed, precision, cost and modularity (topology, characteristics and model). Existing simulators are based on time-consuming numeric algorithms, which provide very ...
The prediction of hydraulic machines performances is of high interest to manufacturers in today's highly competitive market for new development or refurbishment of hydraulic power plant. An accurate prediction of the machines performances by numerical simu ...
Real-time (RT) simulation is a highly reliable simulation method that is mostly based on electromagnetic transient simulation of complex systems comprising many domains. It is increasingly used in power and energy systems for both academic research and ind ...
Simulation of local atmospheric flows around complex topography is important for several applications in wind energy (short-term wind forecasting and turbine siting and control), local weather prediction in mountainous regions and avalanche risk assessment ...
In the framework of the development of new nuclear plants, we have studied the feasibility of producing cladding tubes in new grades adapted to the severe mechanical, thermal and irradiation conditions. ODS steel grades have been identified as promising ma ...
The evolution toward emerging active distribution networks (ADNs) can be realized via a real-time state estimation (RTSE) application facilitated by the use of phasor measurement units (PMUs). A critical challenge in deploying PMU-based RTSE applications a ...
In this study the influence of tip leakage on the performance of a small-scale fan is evaluated through computational fluid dynamics. ANSYS CFX Release 18.1 is employed for the numerical simulations, the results are extracted, analyzed and compared to the ...
This paper describes the simulation, design, realization, and experimental test of a tapered transmission line (TL) for adapting a broad-band impulse generator to a radiating antenna, for a frequency range of 50 MHz-1 GHz. Two different taper geometries ar ...
