On the Control of a Seawater-Hydraulic Wind Farm with the Delft Offshore Turbine

Offshore wind energy is a promising prospect to meet the ever-growing demand for energy. Its reputation is, however, sullied by high costs not yet competitive with conventional energy resources. The Delft Offshore Turbine (DOT) attempts to radically reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of offshore wind by utilising a seawater-hydrostatic...

Modelling of heat transfer dynamics in the oxy-fuel cutting of steel

Oxy-fuel gas cutting is the most widely applied industrial thermal cutting process due to its various benefits such as low cost equipment, versatility and flexibility in terms of manual or mechanized operation. It is employed in cutting mild steel plates with thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 250mm, to manufacture heavy equipment such as...

Enhancement of Conventional IPC Decoupling by Inclusion of an Azimuth Offset

Wind turbine technology has become one of the most attractive solutions to generate electricity as well as to cope with the global carbon emissions. Having a prospective future in terms of growing worldwide demands, it becomes more important to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) of the wind turbine which is generally done by...
