Power Production and Blade Fatigue of a Wind Turbine Array Subjected to Active Yaw Control

This study investigated the power production and blade fatigue of a three-turbine array subjected to active yaw control (AYC) in full-wake and partial-wake configurations. A framework of a two-way coupled large eddy simulation (LES) and an aeroelastic blad ...

Wind Turbine Wakes in Active Yaw Control: Numerical and Theoretical Studies

Mou Lin

In this thesis, we explore the best practice of simulating the wakes of the turbines under active yaw control (AYC) using large-eddy simulation (LES). In the first study, we validate the blade-element actuator disk model (ADM-BE) for a yawed wind turbine. ...

Adaptive Receiver Design for High Speed Optical Communication

Ilter Ozkaya

Conventional input/output (IO) links consume power, independent of changes in the bandwidth demand by the system they are deployed in. As the system is designed to satisfy the peak bandwidth demand, most of the time the IO links are idle but still consumin ...

Design techniques for a stable operation of cryogenic field-programmable gate arrays

Edoardo Charbon, Harald Arjan Robert Homulle

In this paper, we show how a deep-submicron field-programmable gate array (FPGA) can be operated more stably at extremely low temperatures through special firmware design techniques. Stability at low temperatures is limited through long power supply wires ...

Dynamic Fine-Grained Scheduling for Energy-Efficient Main-Memory Queries

Anastasia Ailamaki, Pinar Tözün, Danica Porobic, Iraklis Psaroudakis, Erietta Liarou

Power and cooling costs are some of the highest costs in data centers today, which make improvement in energy efficiency crucial. Energy efficiency is also a major design point for chips that power whole ranges of computing devices. One important goal in t ...

Emulation-based transient thermal modeling of 2D/3D systems-on-chip with active cooling

David Atienza Alonso, Pablo Garcia del Valle

State-of-the-art devices in the consumer electronics market are relying more and more on Multi-Processor Systems-On-Chip (MPSoCs) as an efficient solution to meet their multiple design constrains, such as low cost, low power consumption, high performance a ...

NoC Topology Synthesis for Supporting Shutdown of Voltage Islands in SoCs

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini, Srinivasan Murali, Ciprian Seiculescu

In many Systems on Chips (SoCs), the cores are clustered in to voltage islands. When cores in an island are unused, the entire island can be shutdown to reduce the leakage power consumption. However, today, the interconnect architecture is a bottleneck in ...

Self-replication for reliability: bio-inspired hardware and the embryonics project

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Pierre-André Mudry

The growth and operation of all living beings are directed by the interpretation, in each of their cells, of a chemical program, the DNA string or genome. This process is the source of inspiration for the Embryonics (embryonic electronics) project, whose f ...
