Mr. Wang, Q. (author), Xu, Tangjie (author), von Terzi, D.A. (author), Xia, Wei (author), Wang, Zhenhai (author), Zhang, Haoran (author)In existing wind farms, the overall power output can be increased through yaw control. However, the cooperative control of start/stop, yaw and turbines positions is often overlooked, leading to wake superposition to downstream wind turbines and suboptimal power output. This paper proposes a synchronized optimized method that considers start...journal article 2024

Blokland, M. (author), van der Mei, R. D. (author), Pruyn, J.F.J. (author), Berkhout, J. (author)Piping systems are common in many architectures and designing such systems is often a complex task. Design automation of piping systems is therefore a universal research subject. Nonetheless, these piping systems are often still designed by hand as a result of their complexity. Consequently, costs associated with piping design are high,...journal article 2023

Bhadra, A. (author), Haverkort, J.W. (author)Microfluidic fuel cells, electrolyzers, and redox flow batteries utilize laminar flow channels to provide reactants, remove products and avoid their crossover. These devices often also employ porous flow-through electrodes as they offer a high surface area for the reaction and excellent mass transfer. The geometrical features of these...journal article 2023

Coppola, R. (author), Peruffo, A. (author), Mazo, M. (author)We introduce a novel approach for the construction of symbolic abstractions - simpler, finite-state models - which mimic the behaviour of a system of interest, and are commonly utilized to verify complex logic specifications. Such abstractions require an exhaustive knowledge of the concrete model, which can be difficult to obtain in real...journal article 2023

Rizki, Z. (author), Ravesloot, Richard (author), van Beckhoven, Ruud (author), Ottens, M. (author)The ultrafiltration/diafiltration (UF/DF) process is a crucial step in the canola protein isolation process from rapeseed meal. The process involves using a multi-stage membrane system to separate components of the mixture. As diafiltration dilutes the feed stream in the ultrafiltration system, a large amount of diafiltration water is...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

Khosravi, M. (author), Smith, R. S. (author)In this article, we consider the problem of system identification when side-information is available on the steady-state gain (SSG) of the system. We formulate a general nonparametric identification method as an infinite-dimensional constrained convex program over the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of stable impulse responses. The...journal article 2023

Lee, J. (author)Current aircraft maintenance ensures safe and reliable flight operations based on inspections repeated at fixed time intervals. The time interval between inspections is often much shorter than the average life of aircraft components, in an effort to timely detect potential failures. While this approach successfully prevents most potential...doctoral thesis 2022

Junge, Kai (author), Obayashi, Nana (author), Stella, F. (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Hughes, Josie (author)Biology provides many examples of how body adaption can be used to achieve a change in functionality. The feather star, an underwater crinoid that uses feather arms to locomote and feed, is one such system; it releases its arms to distract prey and vary its maneuverability to help escape predators. Using this crinoid as inspiration, we develop a...journal article 2022
