Wind farm power density optimization according to the area size using a novel self-adaptive genetic algorithm

Fernando Porté Agel, Nicolas Otto Kirchner Bossi

This work studies the power density (PD) optimization in wind farms, and its sensitivity to the available area size. A novel genetic algorithm (PDGA) is introduced, which optimizes PD and the turbine layout, by self-adapting to the PD and to the solutions ...

Overflow-free compute memories for edge AI acceleration

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, Marco Antonio Rios, Flavio Ponzina

Compute memories are memory arrays augmented with dedicated logic to support arithmetic. They support the efficient execution of data-centric computing patterns, such as those characterizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. These architectures can ...

Thermal-hydraulic analysis of alternative cable-in-conduit conductors for the European DEMO hybrid central solenoid

Kamil Sedlák, Nikolay Bykovskiy, Roberto Guarino

A hybrid design of the Central Solenoid is under study within the conceptual design phase of the European DEMO fusion reactor. It is based on HTS conductors in the innermost high-field layers, and Nb3Sn and NbTi conductors for field values below 15 T. Sinc ...

Data-driven optimization of building layouts for energy efficiency

Andrew James Sonta

One of the primary driving factors in building energy performance is occupant behavioral dynamics. As a result, the layout of building occupant workstations is likely to influence energy consumption. In this paper, we introduce methods for relating lightin ...

X-Shell Pavilion: A Deployable Elastic Rod Structure

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Francis Julian Panetta, Tian Chen, Etienne Bouleau

We present the X-Shell pavilion, a lightweight structure composed of elastic beam elements joined in a special layout that allows easy on-site deployment. The structure’s undeployed assembly configuration lies mostly flat and is easy to build, consisting o ...

A Grammar of Muqarnas: Drawings of the Alhambra by Jones and Goury (1834-1845)

Ignacio Ferrer Perez-Blanco

The muqarnas of the Nasrid Alhambra stand out as one of the most singular architectural episodes o f Medieval Islamic art due to their sophisticated three-dimensional construction, whose layout remains little known. In 1834 and 1837, the architects Owen Jo ...

Design of Load-Bearing Systems for Open-Ended Downstream Reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This paper discusses the design of load-bearing systems for buildings with regard to their current lack of open-ended reusability. The reason for dismantling load-bearing systems today tends to be less related to material degradation than to a loss of func ...

Energy performance and occupancy-based analysis of visual and thermal comfort for transmittance level and layout variations of semi-transparent photovoltaics

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo, Giuseppe Peronato

This paper investigates the impact of transmittance level and layout variations of semi-transparent photovoltaics (STPV) on both energy performance and occupancy-based visual and thermal comfort, simulating a reference office with a fully south-oriented gl ...

Optimizing neighborhood-scale walkability

Andrew James Sonta

Many designers and researchers have grappled with the problem of optimally locating buildings and use types in a neighborhood-scale development. But little work has used data-driven optimization to aid in creating urban design schemes. The paradigm of sing ...

A Review of Evaluation, Optimization and Synthesis of Energy Systems: Methodology and Application to Thermal Power Plants

François Maréchal, Ligang Wang, Shivom Sharma, Alberto Mian, Tzu-En Lin

To reach optimal/better conceptual designs of energy systems, key design variables should be optimized/adapted with system layouts, which may contribute significantly to system improvement. Layout improvement can be proposed by combining system analysis wi ...
