Optimization of Hellenic overhead high-voltage transmission lines lightning protection

Christodoulou, C.A.; Ekonomou, L.; Fotis, G.P.; … - In: Energy 34 (2009) 4, pp. 502-509

It is well known that the lightning protection of transmission lines is exclusively relying on their correct initial design. Although detailed engineering studies are usually performed by electric power utilities for the design of new transmission lines, there are reported cases where the design...

The Joint Effect of Topic Interest and Follow-Up Procedures on the Response in a Mail Questionnaire

Roose, Henk; Lievens, John; Waege, Hans - In: Sociological Methods & Research 35 (2007) 3, pp. 410-428

Leverage-saliency theory provides a seminal basis for research on the differential effects of response-facilitating techniques in surveys. In this article, a quasi-experimental design is applied to analyze the effect of follow-up procedures, taking into account the sample personsâ€™...

Technology adoption: breaking down barriers using a virtual reality design support tool for hybrid concrete

Goulding, Jack; Sexton, Martin; Zhang, Xiaonan; … - In: Construction Management and Economics 25 (2007) 12, pp. 1239-1250

The use of hybrid concrete technologies as a viable solution to traditional frame design has been inhibited by a general lack of information. The uptake of this technology has therefore been slow and parochial, as designers have tended to stay loyal to 'traditional', tried and tested...

PV-hybrid power systems sizing incorporating battery storage: an analysis via simulation calculations

Muselli, M; Notton, G; Poggi, P; Louche, A - In: Renewable Energy 20 (2000) 1, pp. 1-7

A methodology is developed to determinate the optimal size of PV-hybrid subsystems and to optimize the stand-alone system management. Two particular parameters characterize the back-up engine generator: SDM and SAR, respectively the starting and the stopping thresholds calculated as a part of...
