Recent advances in sustainable drying of agricultural produce: A review (2018)
Journal Article
Lamidi, R. O., Jiang, L., Pathare, P. B., Wang, Y., & Roskilly, A. (2019). Recent advances in sustainable drying of agricultural produce: A review. Applied Energy, 233-234, 367-385. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.10.044

Quests for sustainability, food security and need to decouple food prices from fluctuating prices of finite fossil fuels are the drivers to sustainable processing and storage of agricultural products. Farming predominantly takes place in rural areas... Read More about Recent advances in sustainable drying of agricultural produce: A review.

Contingency Ranking in Power Systems via Reliability Rates (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cervantes, C., Kazemtabrizi, B., & Troffaes, M. (2018, October). Contingency Ranking in Power Systems via Reliability Rates. Presented at 18th IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering, Palermo, Italy

This paper shows the scope of probabilistic contingency ranking algorithms when applied to transmission systems with high levels of renewable integration. Using our fast screening contingency ranking algorithm, a performance index is calculated throu... Read More about Contingency Ranking in Power Systems via Reliability Rates.

Flexible General Branch Model Unified Power Flow Algorithm for Future Flexible AC/DC Networks (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bustos, A., & Kazemtabrizi, B. (2018, December). Flexible General Branch Model Unified Power Flow Algorithm for Future Flexible AC/DC Networks. Presented at 18th IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering, Palermo, Italy

This paper presents a new Flexible General Branch Model (FGBM) for the power flow solution of hybrid AC/DC grids. The model is an improvement of MATPOWER's original branch model, by incorporating extra degrees of freedom in form of additional state v...

hp-adaptive celatus enriched discontinuous Galerkin method for second-order elliptic source problems (2018)
Journal Article
Giani, S. (2018). hp-adaptive celatus enriched discontinuous Galerkin method for second-order elliptic source problems. SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 40(5), B1391-B1418. https://doi.org/10.1137/17m1149912

This paper presents a new way to enrich finite element methods with nonpolynomial functions without adding any function to the finite element space. For this reason, the method is called celatus, which is a Latin word meaning ``hidden from view."" Si...
