Report
Jones, O., Wardle, R., & Matthews, P. (2014). Micro-CHP Trial Report. Northern Powergrid (Northeast) Limited, Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) Plc, British Gas Trading Limited, University of Durham and EA Technology Ltd

This report presents an analysis of the performance of domestic Micro-CHP devices, installed at 11 separate domestic locations for the CLNR project. The report addresses Learning Objective 1 of the project, which is to enhance understanding of curren... Read More about Micro-CHP Trial Report.

Analysis of clustering techniques on load profiles for electrical distribution (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Akperi, B., & Matthews, P. (2014, October). Analysis of clustering techniques on load profiles for electrical distribution. Presented at 2014 International Conference on Power System Technology, Chengdu, China

The classification of electrical load profiles has become increasingly important as a driver for distribution companies in understanding substation data. The daily load profile can often give great insight into the types of customers connected to the... Read More about Analysis of clustering techniques on load profiles for electrical distribution.

Modelling and Evaluation of Wind Speed Time Series for Reliability Analysis of Offshore Wind Farms (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, C., Crabtree, C., Matthews, P., & Kazemtabrizi, B. Modelling and Evaluation of Wind Speed Time Series for Reliability Analysis of Offshore Wind Farms. Presented at 10th PhD Seminar on Wind Energy in Europe, EAWE., Orléans, France

This paper outlines proposed testing criteria for wind speed time series (WSTS) models. The objective is to assess their suitability for reliability analysis that is dependent on an accurate representation of weather patterns. Two WSTS models were an...

Determining the Wind Speed Distribution within a Wind Farm considering Site Wind Characteristics and Wake Effects (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ahmad, T., Smith, C., Matthews, P., Crabtree, C., & Kazemtabrizi, B. Determining the Wind Speed Distribution within a Wind Farm considering Site Wind Characteristics and Wake Effects. Presented at 10th PhD Seminar on Wind Energy in Europe, EAWE., Orléans, France

This paper introduces a wind speed model for simulating the distribution of wind speeds within a wind farm. The model combines a macro scale wind speed time series (WSTS) model based on a continuous Markov process with a wake flow model, based on the...

Analysis of customer profiles on an electrical distribution network (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Akperi, B., & Matthews, P. (2014, September). Analysis of customer profiles on an electrical distribution network. Presented at 2014 49th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC), Cluj-Napoca, Romania

It has become increasingly important for electrical distribution companies to understand the drivers of demand. The maximum demand at any given substation can vary materially on an annual basis which means it is difficult to create a load related inv...

Robust Statistical Methods for Rapid Data Labelling (2014)
Book Chapter
Godwin, J., & Matthews, P. (2014). Robust Statistical Methods for Rapid Data Labelling. In V. Bhatnagar (Ed.), Data mining and analysis in the engineering field (107-141). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-4666-6086-1.ch007

Labelling of data is an expensive, labour-intensive, and time consuming process and, as such, results in vast quantities of data being unexploited when performing analysis through data mining. This chapter presents a new paradigm using robust multiva... Read More about Robust Statistical Methods for Rapid Data Labelling.

Structural optimisation based on the boundary element and level set methods (2014)
Journal Article
Ullah, B., Trevelyan, J., & Matthews, P. (2014). Structural optimisation based on the boundary element and level set methods. Computers and Structures, 137, 14-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruc.2014.01.004

A new method of structural topology optimisation is proposed in which an evolutionary approach is used with boundary element and level set methods. During the optimisation iterations, the proposed method automatically introduces internal cavities and... Read More about Structural optimisation based on the boundary element and level set methods.
