A hybrid model for the optimum integration of renewable technologies in power generation systems
(2011-02)
The main purpose of this work is to assess the unavoidable increase in the cost of electricity of a generation system by the integration of the necessary renewable energy sources for power generation (RES-E) technologies ...
Optimal design of a hybrid solar-wind power to drive a small-size reverse osmosis desalination plant
(2013)
Providing clean water to small communities using renewable energy (RE) has long posed as a humanitarian challenge. Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination has been proven as a mature technology for supplying fresh water for ...
Thermodynamic Analysis and Optimization of Densely-Packed Receiver Assembly Components in High-Concentration CPVT Solar Collectors
(Elsevier, 2016-08-01)
Concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) solar collectors are one of the most promising solar concepts due to their compactness, multi-output nature, and high exergy efficiencies. However, accurate design models and clear ...
Thermodynamic analysis and optimization of various power cycles for a geothermal resource
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
In this study, geothermal resources in Kutahya-Simav region having geothermal water at a temperature suitable for power generation is considered. The study is aimed to yield the method of the most effective use of the ...
Holistic Design: Optimizing Mechatronic Systems Using Multi Objective Optimization
(2015-05)
This thesis aims to present an integrated approach to mechatronic systems design using heuristic optimization techniques. This integrated approach will consider the kinematics of the system, the dynamics, and the control ...
Extended Behavioral Modeling of FET and Lattice-Mismatched HEMT Devices
(2016-01)
This study presents an improved large signal model that can be used for High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) and Field Effect Transistors (FETs) using measurement-based behavioral modeling techniques. The steps for ...
Optimization of Excess of Loss Reinsurance Structure
(2016-01)
In the current practice in the region, before purchasing a reinsurance contract, small to medium insurance companies rarely conduct internal analysis of their data and experiences in order to evaluate and achieve optimal ...
Optimum ethane recovery in conventional turboexpander process
(Elsevier, 2010)
Ethane recovery in a conventional turboexpander process is optimized considering different demethanizer pressures and different feeds: a lean gas and a rich one. The design variables are varied, while meeting process ...
Dynamics of a four-bar mechanism with clearance and springs - Modeling and experimental analysis
(Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers and Springer, 2017)
This paper presents a study of the dynamic behavior of a planar four-bar mechanism with clearance. A spring is added to improve the dynamic response of the mechanism with clearance. Simulations and experimental tests are ...
