Dynamic study of ORC evaporator operating under fluctuating thermal power from waste heat sources by Jiménez-Arreola, Manuel, Pili, Roberto, Wieland, Christoph, Romagnoli, Alessandro

“…The component of major importance for the dynamics of the system is the evaporator, because it links the heat source to the ORC. Although different dynamic models of heat exchangers for ORC are available in literature, researchers have hardly focused their attention on a thorough analysis of the key factors that affect the evaporator dynamics. …”

Coordinated secondary control for autonomous hybrid three-port AC/DC/DS microgrid by Jin, Chi, Wang, Junjun, Wang, Peng

“…To overcome this concern, a CSC strategy is proposed to concurrently restore frequency/voltage and re-establish a distributed power management by means of limited information exchange through the low-bandwidth communication links. The proposed control scheme has been verified by both simulations and controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) experiments in an OPAL-RT digital simulator system.…”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”

Reconciling Bayesian and perimeter regularization for binary inversion by Dunbar, Oliver R. A., Dunlop, Matthew M., Elliott, Charles M., Hoang, Viet Ha, Stuart, Andrew M.

“…On the other hand, sparse or noisy data often demand a probabilistic approach to the reconstruction of images, to enable uncertainty quantification; the Bayesian approach to inversion, which itself introduces a form of regularization, is a natural framework in which to carry this out. In this paper the link between Bayesian inversion methods and perimeter regularization is explored. …”
