The Pumped Hydro Storages (PHSs) equipped with variables speed drives have several advantages, namely: i) power regulation in pumping mode, ii) extended operating range, iii) higher efficiency in turbine mode. Such flexible operation of the PHS units ensur ...
This paper reports the design, fabrication, and testing of a soft dielectric elastomer power generator with a volume of less than 1 cm3. The generator is well suited to harvest energy from ambient and from human body motion as it can harvest from low frequ ...
Energy storage systems are important for dealing with the fluctuation of renewable energies in course of their increasing penetration into the energy market. Small-scale compressed air energy storage (CAES) with artificial air vessels can improve the suppl ...
Nowadays most of the decisions in the field of energy supply lead to an increased use of renewable energy resources. Such decisions imply several consequences for instance in electrical power generation. Indeed, replacing conventional energy sources by mor ...
This paper reports the design, fabrication, and testing of a soft electroactive polymer power generator that has a volume of 1cm(3). The generator provides an opportunity to harvest energy from environmental sources to power wireless sensor networks becaus ...
The interest in energy storage is currently increasing, especially from the perspectives of matching intermittent sources of renewable energy with customer demand and storing excess nuclear or thermal power during the daily cycle. Technologies to be consid ...
Energy storage systems are increasingly gaining importance with regard to their role in achieving load levelling, especially for matching intermittent sources of renewable energy with customer demand, as well as for storing excess nuclear or thermal power ...
An experimental investigation on the flow features of the wake generated from a circular cylinder with finite height and placed vertically on a plane is presented. Through force measurements the mean drag coefficient is found to be roughly invariant by var ...
Given the intermittent nature of solar radiation, the large-scale use of solar energy requires an efficient energy storage solution. So far, the only practical way to store such large amounts of energy is in the form of a chemical energy carrier, i.e., a f ...
This paper reports a miniaturization technique of non-isolated power combiners and its application for a compact outphasing transmitter. The technique is used to build an LDMOS Z-LINC system. The maximum output power and PAE measured at 900 MHz are 9.3 W a ...
