Robust optimization of control parameters for WEC arrays using stochastic methods
This work presents a new computational optimization framework for the robust control of parks of Wave Energy Converters (WEC) in irregular waves. The power of WEC parks is maximized with respect to the individual control damping and stiffness coefficients ...
MOX Modeling and Scientific Computing2023Excitonic devices with van der Waals heterostructures: valleytronics meets twistronics
Andras Kis, Fedele Tagarelli, Ahmet Avsar, Alberto Ciarrocchi
2D semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides comprise an emerging class of materials with distinct properties, including large exciton binding energies that reach hundreds of millielectronvolts and valley-contrasting physics. Thanks to the van der Wa ...
2022Physics-enhanced machine learning with symmetry-adapted and long-range representations
Theoretical and computational approaches to the study of materials and molecules have, over the last few decades, progressed at an exponential rate. Yet, the possibility of producing numerical predictions that are on par with experimental measurements is t ...
EPFL2021Properties of convex optimal power flow model based on power loss relaxation
We derive the branch ampacity constraint associated to power losses for the convex optimal power flow (OPF) model based on the branch flow formulation. The branch ampacity constraint derivation is motivated by the physical interpretation of the transmissio ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2020Assessment of alternative divertor configurations as an exhaust solution for DEMO
Holger Reimerdes, Roberto Maurizio, Seungkyu Ha, Hartmut Zohm
Plasma exhaust has been identified as a major challenge towards the realisation of magnetic confinement fusion. To mitigate the risk that the single null divertor (SND) with a high radiation fraction in the scrape-of-layer (SOL) adopted for ITER will not e ...
2020Advanced models for stress evaluation and safety assessment in steel-lined pressure tunnels
Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Alexandre Jean Pachoud
An accurate estimation of the stress in a steel liner is required for the design of steel-lined pressure shafts, both with regard to safety assessment of ageing steel-lined waterways of hydropower plants built in the 20th century, and for new projects whic ...
2018Improved analytical solutions for the response of underground excavations in rock masses satisfying the generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion
Analytical solutions for tunnel design are widely used in practical engineering, as they allow a quick analysis of design issues such as estimation of support requirement. In recent years, several papers analyzing the behavior of rock masses that obey the ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2015Experimental assessment of riverbed sediment reinforcement by vegetation roots
Vegetation roots are known to increase soil stability on hillslopes, crops and river banks, thus reducing slide hazards, surface erosion and general processes affecting lateral channel migration. Many studies have tackled this classical engineering problem ...
Crc Press-Taylor & Francis Group2014Experiences and methodology in a multidisciplinary energy and architecture competition: Solar Decathlon Europe 2012
Solar Decathlon Europe is an international competition among universities which promotes interdisciplinary learning in engineering and architecture. Students from different disciplines participate in teams guided by several professors during a 29 month pre ...
Elsevier Science Sa2014Exploring G-Protein Coupled Receptor Activation with Multiscale Molecular Simulations
This thesis is devoted to the study of the activation mechanism of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), one of the largest and most diverse protein families in mammalian genomes, by means of different computer-based simulation techniques. Using force field ...
