Hu, Weidong (author), Xu, Zhihao (author), Jiang, Huanyu (author), Liu, Qingguo (author), Yao, Zhiyu (author), Tan, Zhen (author), Ligthart, L.P. (author)The terahertz frequency modulation continuous-wave (THz FMCW) imaging technology has been widely used in non-destructive testing applications. However, THz FMCW real-aperture radar usually has a small depth of field and poor lateral resolution, thus restricting the high-precision imaging application. This paper proposes a 150-220 GHz FMCW...journal article 2023

Li, M. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Carroll, James (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The determination of maintenance strategies is subject to complexity and uncertainty arising from variable offshore wind farm states and inaccuracies in model parameters. The most common method in the existing studies is to adopt an open-loop approach to optimize a maintenance strategy. However, this approach lacks the ability to capture...journal article 2023

Fang, P. (author), Li, Xiao (author), Jiang, X. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Bai, Yong (author)Predicting the bending behaviours of a submarine power cable (SPC) is always a tough task due to its complex geometry and inner layer contact, not to mention the stick–slip mechanism. A full-scale finite element model is cumbersome during the early design stage and a more efficient model for practical use is required. Therefore, in this paper...journal article 2023

Li, H. (author), Lekić, A. (author), Li, Shan (author), Jiang, Dongrong (author), Guo, Qiang (author), Zhou, Lin (author)The distribution network (DN) reconfiguration is a well-known optimal power flow (OPF) problem. However, with the transition of DN from 'passive' to 'active', new technical challenges arise in DN reconfiguration. This article addresses two key issues in this regard. Firstly, the integration of local renewable generation (LRG) introduces...journal article 2023
