In this paper, based on the similarity, in structure and principle, between a grid-connected converter for a direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG) and an active power filter (APF), a new D-PMSG-based wind turbine (WT) system configuration that includes not only an...

This study examines the performance and adaptability of Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based thermal control strategies for diverse thermal properties of building envelope conditions applied to residential buildings. The thermal performance using two non-ANN-based control logics and two...

The physical properties and the hydrogen release of NaBH₄–Mg(BH₄)₂ and NaBH₄−Ca(BH₄)₂ composites are investigated using<i> in situ </i>synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and temperature programmed photographic analysis. The composite, <i>x</i>NaBH₄–(1 − <i>x</i>)Mg(BH₄)₂, <i>x</i> =...

We apply a modified proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to large eddy simulation data of a wind turbine wake in a turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. The turbine is modeled as an actuator disk. Our analysis mainly focuses on the pragmatic identification of spatial modes, which yields a low...

In order to realize the non-contact measurement of ceramic insulator contamination severity, a method based on feature level fusion of infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) image information is proposed in this paper. IR and UV images of artificially polluted insulators were obtained from high...
