Classification and Detection of Wind Turbine Pitch Faults Through SCADA Data Analysis (2013)
Journal Article
Godwin, J., & Matthews, P. (2013). Classification and Detection of Wind Turbine Pitch Faults Through SCADA Data Analysis. International journal of prognostics and health management, 4, Article 016

The development of wind turbine pitch faults leads to increased mechanical component degradation, severe reduction of asset performance, and a direct increase in annual maintenance costs for the operator. This paper presents a highly accurate data dr... Read More about Classification and Detection of Wind Turbine Pitch Faults Through SCADA Data Analysis.

Polymerised high internal phase ionic liquid-in-oil emulsions as potential separators for lithium ion batteries (2013)
Journal Article
Shirshova, N., Johansson, P., Marczewski, M., Kot, E., Ensling, D., Bismarck, A., & Steinke, J. (2013). Polymerised high internal phase ionic liquid-in-oil emulsions as potential separators for lithium ion batteries. Journal of Materials Chemistry A: materials for energy and sustainability, 1(34), 9612-9619. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ta10856b

In situ ionic liquid (IL) filled poly(merized) high internal phase emulsion monoliths and films were produced by polymerizing surfactant stabilized IL/monomer emulsion templates. The resulting in situ ionic liquid filled macroporous polymers have alm...

Multiple well systems with non-Darcy flow (2013)
Journal Article
Mijic, A., Mathias, S., & LaForce, T. (2013). Multiple well systems with non-Darcy flow. Groundwater, 51(4), 588-596. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2012.00992.x

Optimization of groundwater and other subsurface resources requires analysis of multiple-well systems. The usual modeling approach is to apply a linear flow equation (e.g., Darcy's law in confined aquifers). In such conditions, the composite response...

Organic Rankine cycles in waste heat recovery: a comparative study (2013)
Journal Article
Auld, A., Berson, A., & Hogg, S. I. (2013). Organic Rankine cycles in waste heat recovery: a comparative study. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 8(Supplement 1), 9-18. https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctt033

A theoretical study of organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) powered by three different waste heat sources is presented. The heat sources, all found in industrial processes, span a range of energy scales capable of powering ORCs from ∼10 kW to 10 MW. A novel...

Concepts of self-repairing systems (2013)
Journal Article
Bell, C., McWilliam, R., Purvis, A., & Tiwari, A. (2013). Concepts of self-repairing systems. Measurement and Control, 46(6), 176-179. https://doi.org/10.1177/0020294013492285

Systems fail. Period. No matter how much planning and fault analysis is performed, it is impossible to create a perfectly reliable machine. The existing approach to improving reliability invariably involves advances in fault prediction and detection... Read More about Concepts of self-repairing systems.

Local maximum entropy shape functions based FE-EFGM coupling (2013)
Report
Ullah, Z., Augarde, C. E., & Coombs, W. M. (2013). Local maximum entropy shape functions based FE-EFGM coupling. [No known commissioning body]

In this paper, a new method for coupling the finite element method (FEM) and the element-free Galerkin method (EFGM) is proposed for linear elastic and geometrically nonlinear problems using local maximum entropy shape functions in the EFG zone of th...

Offshore Wind Farm Asset Management: Past Experiences and Future Challenges. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Williams, R., Crabtree, C., & Hogg, S. (2013, June). Offshore Wind Farm Asset Management: Past Experiences and Future Challenges. Presented at ASME Turbo Expo 2013: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition, San Antonio, USA

This paper considers the asset management of offshore wind farms and, in particular, how this will change as wind farms increase significantly in capacity and move to sites further offshore. Health monitoring, industrial operational structures, infra... Read More about Offshore Wind Farm Asset Management: Past Experiences and Future Challenges..
