Analysis of Two Onshore Wind Farms with a Dynamic Farm Controller (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Ahmad, T., Girard, N., Kazemtabrizi, B., & Matthews, P. (2015). Analysis of Two Onshore Wind Farms with a Dynamic Farm Controller.

This work develops an assessment methodology for identifying potential areas where coordinated control can increase farm power output. A dynamic farm controller is presented that exploits the benefits of reducing power of the upstream turbines for in...

Dynamic Wind Farm Controller (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Ahmad, T., Matthews, P., Kazemtabrizi, B., & Smith, C. (2015). Dynamic Wind Farm Controller.

This work presents a dynamic wind farm controller for maximising power output of a wind farm. The controller uses a coordinated control approach where the output of the upstream turbines is varied to minimise wake effects on the downstream turbines.... Read More about Dynamic Wind Farm Controller.

Effective capacity analysis of smart grid communication networks (2015)
Conference Proceeding
You, M., Mou, X., & Sun, H. (2015). Effective capacity analysis of smart grid communication networks. In 2015 IEEE 20th International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD) (196-200). https://doi.org/10.1109/camad.2015.7390508

Smart grid represents a significant new technology of improving the efficiency, reliability and economics of the production, transmission and distribution of electricity that helps reduce carbon emissions. Communication networks become a key to achie... Read More about Effective capacity analysis of smart grid communication networks.

Sampling methods for uncertainty in life cycle cost analysis in product design (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Cunha, L., & Wang, Q. (2015). Sampling methods for uncertainty in life cycle cost analysis in product design. In 20th Design for Manufacturing and the Life Cycle Conference; 9th International Conference on Micro- and Nanosystems (DETC2015-47116). https://doi.org/10.1115/detc2015-47116

Life cycle cost (LCC) analysis was initiated from the necessity to calculate the cost of products from ‘cradle to grave’. LCC is not a new tool, but its use is still limited and requires further studies, especially concerning all the uncertainty invo...

A Dynamic Clearance Seal for Steam Turbine Application. (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Messenger, A., Williams, R., Ingram, G., Hogg, S., Tibos, S., & Seaton, J. (2015). A Dynamic Clearance Seal for Steam Turbine Application. In Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo 2015: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition, June 15-19, 2015, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Volume 8: Microturbines, Turbochargers and Small Turbomachines; Steam Turbines. https://doi.org/10.1115/gt2015-43471

Effective sealing in turbomachinery reduces the leakage flow bypassing the turbine blades and also reduces the losses where the leakage flow mixes with the primary flow. In general the clearance should be as small as possible but is limited by therma... Read More about A Dynamic Clearance Seal for Steam Turbine Application..

Experimental Validation of a Curtain Type Fluidic Jet Seal on a Turbine Rotor Shroud (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, June 15–19, 2015. https://doi.org/10.1115/gt2015-42624

This paper describes the design and testing of a fluidic “air-curtain” type seal application to reduce tip leakages on a small high-speed single stage axial turbine. The initial experimental investigations were carried out to demonstrate the applicat... Read More about Experimental Validation of a Curtain Type Fluidic Jet Seal on a Turbine Rotor Shroud.
