Coupling a power system model to a building model to evaluated the flexibility potential of DSM at country level.
(Aalborg Universitet, 2017-09-13)The integration of renewable energy sources in the electricity production mix has an important impact on the management of the electricity grid, due to their variability. In particular, to ensure grid balancing, there is ... -
A strongly-coupled model for flexible rotors
(Elsevier, 2019)A fluid–structure model describing the equilibrium state of a flexible blade rotor with its own wake is derived for various external axial flow conditions. The model is based on three building blocks. The two-dimensional ... -
Structure and stability of rotor generated vortices
(European Mechanics Society, 2018)We study the structure and stability of the vortical wake generated by a two-blade Joukowski rotor of radius Rb, rotating at angular velocity ⌦ in an axial wind of velocity V1. In this rotor model, each blade is assumed ... -
Joukowski’s wake model for tip-splitting rotors.
(IOP Publishing, 2021)The interaction between a tip vortex and a solid surface is responsible for premature structural component fatigue in wind turbines and undesirable noise in helicopter rotors during low speed and descending flight. One ... -
Demonstration of patient-specific simulations to assess Left Atrial Appendage Thrombogenesis Risk.
(Frontiers, 2021)Atrial fibrillation (AF) alters left atrial (LA) hemodynamics, which can lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA), systemic embolism and stroke. A personalized risk- stratification of AF patients for stroke ... -
Modelling and dynamic simulation of a liquid desiccant system coupled to a heat pump for air conditioning.
(2019-08-23)In applications where latent loads or ambient humidity are high, liquid desiccant systems combined with vapor compression systems are a suitable alternative to conventional HVAC systems because they can efficiently control ... -
Closely spaced co-rotating helical vortices: General solutions
(American Physics Society, 2021)In this work, we present general solutions for closely spaced co-rotating helical vortices using a filament approach. For these vortex structures, helical symmetry is broken, but solutions maintain a form of spatial ... -
Structure and stability of Joukowski’s rotor wake model.
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-01-25)In this work, Joukowski’s rotor wake model is considered for a two-blade rotor of radius Rb rotating at the angular velocity ΩR in a normal incident velocity V∞. This model is based on a description of the wake by a limited ... -
Generalized helical vortex pairs
(Cambridge University Press, 2019)New solutions describing the interaction of helical pairs of counter-rotating vortices are obtained using a vortex filament approach. The vortices are assumed to have a small core size allowing the calculation of the ... -
Optimal Home Battery Sizing and Dispatch in EU Countries Taking Into Account Battery Degradation and Self-Consumption Incentives
