This paper describes a case study of wind turbine wake loss effects on wind resource assessment in cold region. One year wind park SCADA data is used. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based numerical simulations are carried out for wind resource assessment and estimation of resultant Annual Energy Production (AEP). Numerical results are compared with the field SCADA data, where a good agreement ...

In this paper we derive a sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution of a Cauchy type q-fractional problem (involving the fractional q-derivative of Riemann-Liouville type) for some nonlinear differential equations. The key technique is to first prove that this Cauchy type q-fractional problem is equivalent to a corresponding Volterra q-integral equation. Moreover, we define the ...

The need for better natural resource use is currently increasingly recognised, and high emphasis is given to the circularity of building materials and the reduction of activities with negative environmental impact. Legislation, guidelines, and other documentation play an important role in improving demolition activities and construction and demolition waste (CDW) management. Good practices in CDW ...

Charging of electric vehicles (EVs) on a large scale can cause problems for the grid. Utilizing local flexibility resources, such as smart charging, stationary battery, vehicle-to-grid applications, and local generation can be an efficient way to contain the grid challenges and mitigate the need for grid reinforcement. Focusing on the INSPIRIA charging station located in Norway, this paper investigates ...

This paper discusses the Inspiria charging station facility in Norway, which enables various charging point operators to offer different charging systems for different purposes and needs. The charging station can be considered a specific case of a shared economy, as users share the same infrastructure and much of the same space. By utilizing new technology and the differences in charging needs in ...

As the sea ice extent steadily decreases, the Arctic region is simultaneously experiencing extensive growth in commercial shipping activities, in areas which previously were considered inaccessible for most ships during large periods of the year, increasing the probability of accidents or incidents occurring. <i>The International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (The Polar Code)</i> states ...

<p>This Ph.D. work concerns itself with the atmospheric ice accretion on wind turbine blades. The wind energy has been at the forefront of the renewable energy generation for the last several decades, with the amount and capacity of installed wind turbines steadily increasing. The cold climate (CC) regions around the world like Finland, Germany, Slovak Republic, Norway, Czech Republic, UK, Sweden, ...

The study of the atmospheric ice accretion has received some attention from the scientific community in the past, with the available knowledge spanning from the works of the Langmuir and Blodgett (1946) on the Mt. Washington Observatory till the analytical parameterization of the Finstad et al. (1988), with the latter being the current analytical benchmark and the integral part of the ISO 12494 ...

Composite materials are becoming more popular in technological applications due to the significant weight savings and strength these materials offer compared to metallic materials. In many of these practical situations, the structures suffer from drop impact loads. Materials and structures significantly change their behavior when submitted to impact loading conditions as compared to quasi-static ...
