New European Wind Atlas: Mesoscale Atlas
2021
The mesoscale part of the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA) was created from WRF model simulations for all of Europe at a grid spacing of 3 km x 3 km, initially covering the 30 years from 1989 to 2018. The WRF model simulations (using WRF V3.8.1) were done in 10 partly overlapping domains using ERA5 reanalysis and OSTIA sea surface temperatures. We used many ensemble members to determine the most suitable configuration for the final production run. The model configuration, production and evaluation of the results against observations are described in Hahmann et al. (2020) and Dörenkämper et al. (2020).Data are accessible through doWIND, an instance of daTap (RESTfull API for data aggregation a…
Deregulated Electric Energy Price Forecasting in NordPool Market using Regression Techniques
2019
Deregulated electricity market day-ahead electrical energy price forecasting is important. It is influenced by external parameters and it is a complicated function. In this work two neighboring regions in the NordPool market are analyzed to provide day-ahead electrical price forecasting using regression techniques. The characteristics of the NordPool market trading behavior leads to unanticipated price peaks at daily, weekly and annual level. The considered two Nordic regions have different energy generation sources (e.g Norway has controllable hydro power, Denmark has non-controllable wind-power) therefore day-ahead electrical energy price forecasting in deregulated market for these two ne…
Optimization of a Sea Wave Energy Harvesting Electromagnetic Device
2008
This paper presents the optimization of a permanent magnet linear generator directly coupled to sea waves. In order to maximize energy extraction, the stochastic features of the energy source is included in the mathematical model of the system in order to satisfactorily tackle the problem. An optimization procedure which includes the stochastic features of the model is presented and a machine built on the basis of the results of this procedure is shown.
A Lagrangian Decomposition Approach to Solve Large Scale Multi-Sector Energy System Optimization Problems
2020
We consider the capacity and operations planning of a European energy supply system with a high share of renewable energy. Our model includes the energy sectors electricity, heat, and transportation and it considers numerous types of consumers and power generation, storage, and transformation technologies, which participate in these energy sectors. Given time series for the regional demands in each sector and the potential renewable production, the goal is to simultaneously optimize the strategic dimensioning and the hourly operation of all components in the system such that the overall costs are minimized.
Machine-learned models for the performance of six different solar PV technologies under the tropical environment
2020
Due to the recent environmental concerns and long-term challenges in energy security, the Global energy scenarios are shifting more towards sustainable and renewable energy resources. Brunei has planned to increase the use of cleaner energy technologies by contributing 10 percent or 954 GWh of renewable energy in its power generation mix by 2035. Out of the available renewable options, solar is the most promising one for Brunei, for example, the daily average solar installation is around 5kWh per day [1]. Though solar energy is an abundant resource, for optimally designing and successfully managing solar power projects, its availability in different time scales are to be analyzed and unders…
Energy generation and abatement of Acid Orange 7 in reverse electrodialysis cells using salinity gradients
2015
Abstract The simultaneous generation of electric energy and the treatment of wastewaters contaminated by an organic pollutant resistant to conventional biological processes, Acid Orange 7 (AO7), was achieved for the first time using proper redox processes by reverse electrodialysis using salinity gradients. The stack was fed with two aqueous solutions with different concentrations of NaCl and a synthetic wastewater contaminated by AO7. Various electrochemical approaches including electro-Fenton, electrogeneration of active chlorine (IOAC) and coupled process were performed in a stack equipped with 40–60 cell pairs and studied by focused electrolyses. The effect of the number of cell pairs a…
An advanced numerical treatment of EM absorption in human tissue
2020
The numerical computation of local electromagnetic absorption at points within the human tissue is proposed by avoiding the mesh generation in the problem domain. Recently, meshless numerical methods have been introduced as an alter- native computational approach to mesh based methods. This is an important feature to generate competitive procedure able to provide final evaluations for large data amounts in real time. In this paper the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method is considered to compute the electromagnetic absorption. First experiments are performed in two dimension at single frequencies by considering incident TM plane wave on 2D cylinder simulating a simplified model of human t…
Dielectric properties of pineapple as function of temperature and water content
2013
Microwave assisted processing is a new and growing field of interest for food industry (Tang et al., 2002; Schubert & Regier, 2005). Many advantages (fast treatments, selective heating and so on) are obtainable by microwave heating due to its peculiar energy transfer that derives from a direct interaction between electromagnetic field and matter (Metaxas & Meredith, 1983). As foods are poor heat conductors, endogenous heat generation allows to overcome some difficulties that characterise conventional heating methods based on convective/conductive heat transfer phenomena (Barba, 2005; Botha et al., 2012). The key-role in design, modelling and management of microwave assisted processes is pla…
Silencing and enhancement of second-harmonic generation in optical gap antennas
2012
International audience; Amplifying local electromagnetic fields by engineering optical interactions between individual constituents of an optical antenna is considered fundamental for efficient nonlinear wavelength conversion in nanometer-scale devices. In contrast to this general statement we show that high field enhancement does not necessarily lead to an optimized nonlinear activity. In particular, we demonstrate that second-harmonic responses generated at strongly interacting optical gap antennas can be significantly suppressed. Numerical simulations are confirming silencing of second-harmonic in these coupled systems despite the existence of local field amplification. We then propose a…
Impact of electromagnetic fields and heat on spin transport signals in Y3Fe5O12
2019
Exploring new strategies to perform magnon logic is a key requirement for the further development of magnon-based spintronics. In this paper, we realize a three-terminal magnon transport device to study the possibility of manipulating magnonic spin information transfer in a magnetic insulator via localized magnetic fields and heat generation. The device comprises two parallel Pt wires as well as a Cu center wire that are deposited on the ferrimagnetic insulator ${\mathrm{Y}}_{3}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$. While the Pt wires act as spin current injector and detector, the Cu wire is used to create local magnetostatic fields and additional heat, which impact both the magnetic configur…
