Interactivity on the Grid: Limitations and Opportunities

Marco Meoni

Grid computing has the intrinsic disadvantages of a batch system: the undetermined delay between the time a job is submitted and the time it is completed. Our approach to this problem is iGrid, a framework that proposes to change the Grid from a batch syst ...

A novel tethered-sphere add-on to enhance grid turbulence

Peter Monkewitz, Richard Vonlanthen

The new turbulence generator consists of a standard uniform grid with tethered spheres attached to its nodes and is capable of producing approximately twice the turbulence energy per unit pressure drop coefficient C (p) than the same bare grid without the ...

THE IMPACT OF OCCUPANTS’ BEHAVIOUR ON URBAN ENERGY DEMAND

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Using extensive field survey data acquired over the past seven years at the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory at EPFL in Switzerland, models of occupants’ presence, opening and closing of windows and the raising and lowering of blinds have been ...

Distribution management system including dispersed generation and storage in a liberalized market environment

Elvira Kägi-Kolisnychenko

Distribution systems are now fundamentally changing. This is due to the fact that a lot of small size dispersed generation units (DG) are expected to be installed at the distribution level, that is, in the medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) networks ...

Water: A key resource in energy production

Christoph Frei

Water and energy are the key resources required for both economic and population growth, and yet both are increasingly scarce. The distribution of water takes large amounts of energy, while the production of energy requires large amounts of water in proces ...

Stochastic Simulation of Occupant Presence and Behaviour in Buildings

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jessen Page, Darren Robinson

While most current building simulation tools consider occupants as predictable robots the true nature of human behaviour is more complex. This article describes a set of stochastic models aimed at capturing this complexity by decoupling occupant presence f ...

Time dependence of the photoluminescence of GaN/AlN quantum dots under high photoexcitation

Nicolas Grandjean

The time dependence of the photoluminescence of GaN/AlN quantum dots (QD's) after high photoexcitation is examined on a large time scale. A continuous change in energy peak is reported, resulting in a giant energy shift of more than 1 eV after delays of se ...

Moore's law and numerical modeling

Fernando Porté Agel

An estimate of the rate of increase in numerical simulation grid sizes with time is obtained by counting the grids (measured in terms of number of node points) reported in the nine volumes of an established proceedings on the numerical modeling of solidifi ...

FACTS, which advantages for the modern electrical networks?

Jean-Jacques Simond, Alain Sapin

The energy market liberalization requires using the actual transportation network in a more flexible and more efficient way. What is needed are strategies and facilities that will improve the energy flux sharing, as well as the maintaining of the node volt ...

CHARACTER GENERATION UNDER GRID CONSTRAINTS

Roger Hersch

An original and fast filling algorithm based on vertical scan line sweep and contour tracking of a presorted shape description allows filling of character shapes with real subpixel resolution. Identical parts of a character lying at a different phase in re ...
