Numerical simulations of gas puff imaging using a multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction in the tokamak boundary
A three-dimensional simulation of gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostics is carried out by using a self-consistent multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction. The simulation, based on the drift-reduced Braginskii model for the plasma and a kinetic ...
AIP Publishing2022Three-Dimensional Numerical Modelling of Al-Salam Storm Water Pumping Station in Saudi Arabia
The Al-Salam Pump Station will be constructed in the framework of Jeddah Storm water Masterplan (JSWM) in Saudi Arabia. The station discharges the incoming flow from the Al-Salam storm tunnel to the Red Sea. Its structure includes a circular deep wet well ...
IAHR2022Vehicle-to-Grid for Reliable Frequency Regulation
Future low-carbon societies will need to store vast amounts of electricity to stabilize electricity grids and to power electric vehicles. Vehicle-to-grid allows vehicle owners and grid operators to share the costs of electricity storage by making the batte ...
EPFL2022Water management of the proton exchange membrane fuel cells: Optimizing the effect of microstructural properties on the gas diffusion layer liquid removal
Jan Van Herle, Hossein Pourrahmani
The formation of water columns inside the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), which is harmful phenomenon, can be controlled by the GDL's microstructure and material. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a thre ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2022Discretization Uncertainties of Flow and Fatigue Damage Simulations of a Reversible Francis Pump-Turbine at Off-Design Operation in Turbine Mode
Drazen Dujic, Daniel Biner, Philippe Alexandre Bontemps
In the framework of the XFLEX HYDRO H2020 European Project, a 5 MW reversible Francis pump-turbine prototype, equipped with an industrial full size frequency converter, is investigated to demonstrate enhanced grid regulation capacities of variable speed hy ...
SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2022Linear Recursive State Estimation of Hybrid and Unbalanced AC/DC Micro-Grids using Synchronized Measurements
Mario Paolone, Willem Lambrichts
In this paper, we present an exact (i.e. non-approximated) and linear measurement model for hybrid AC/DC micro-grids for recursive state estimation (SE). More specifically, an exact linear model of a voltage source converter (VSC) is proposed. It relies on ...
2022A Collaborative Workflow to Automate the Design, Analysis, and Construction of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures
Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Pierre Latteur
This paper introduces a computational framework that fosters collaboration between architects, engineers, and contractors by bridging the gap between architectural design, structural analysis, and digital construction. The present research is oriented towa ...
CAADRIA2022Enabling renewable Europe through optimal design and operation
Europe is currently transitioning from fossil energy sources to renewable generation of electric power. Although fundamental to reach net-zero targets, intermittent renewables are disrupting conventional methods used in operational planning and design of p ...
EPFL2022Potential of electric mobility as service to the grid in renewable energy hubs
François Maréchal, Cédric Terrier, Luise Middelhauve
The electrification of private mobility is becoming a popular solution to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels. However, uncontrollable charging of a large electric vehicle fleet challenges the distribution grid due to transmission bottlenecks, voltage limi ...
2022Multi-Level Monte Carlo Methods for Uncertainty Quantification and Risk-Averse Optimisation
This work aims to study the effects of wind uncertainties in civil engineering structural design. Optimising the design of a structure for safety or operability without factoring in these uncertainties can result in a design that is not robust to these per ...
