Lightning presents a significant danger to electrical and electronic equipment, buildings and monuments, people and animals. Although our knowledge about lightning has significantly improved over last century, the development of new composite materials and ...
This work proposes a sequential approach for the multi-period synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) and Utility Systems of chemical processes and energy systems, including thermal, electric and material storage. The optimization approach is sequential ...
TSA (total site analysis) has shown to be an efficient tool for identifying heat integration measures in industrial clusters, leading to the optimal design of utility systems and energy bill reduction. In order to justify investments, any proposed utility ...
Demand response (DR) emerges as one of the cheapest and greenest solutions to match supply and demand in the electricity sector. While DR has been focused on large and industrial consumers, pervasive implementation (by including residential consumers) is n ...
This task force paper summarizes the state-of-the-art real-time digital simulation concepts and technologies that are used for the analysis, design, and testing of the electric power system and its apparatus. This paper highlights the main building blocks ...
