Transmission System Operators (TSOs) deploy frequency control reserves and regulating power to maintain the load-generation balance in real-time operation of power systems. In the Nordic countries, the TSOs buy regulating power from the Nord Pool regulatin ...
This paper explores the geometric optimization of a planar reciprocal frame (RF) floor framing structure, focusing on the triangular topology. The structural performance of the frames is computed and plotted against the geometric parameters for various loa ...
Empirical drift capacity models for in-plane loaded unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are derived from results of quasi-static cyclic shear-compression tests. The experimentally determined drift capacities are, however, dependent on the applied demand, i.e. ...
The Internet of Things market is experiencing a period of intense growth. From 7 to 10 billion of connected devices in 2013, it is expected to reach 26 to 30 billion in 2020. Smart buildings represent between 2 to 21% of this market. Indeed, the possibilit ...
