Offshore wind resources are more abundant and stronger and they blow more consistently than land-based wind resources. While gale force winds are easier to hit on the sea, the strong wind vibration and wind loads may exert severe damage and shock to wind turbines and wind power grids, even...

Microalgae are fast growing organisms and have the ability to accumulate lipid, which can be converted to biofuels. Here, we review specific growth rate, population productivity, and lipid productivity based on 192 publications of the marine microalgae Nannochloropsis. Specific growth rate was...

Purpose – The financial crisis has led the Basel Committee to improve the system of capital requirements for market risks. This paper aims to investigate the effects of different models to estimate the market risk in the management of the trading book. The study takes into account the events...

Characterization of solar collectors is based on experimental techniques next to validation of associated models. Both techniques may be adopted assuming different complexities. In this work, a general methodology to validate a collector model, with undetermined associated complexity, is...

Peukert et al. recently published (Int. J. Chem. Kinet. 2010; 43: 107–119) the results of a series of shock tube measurements on the thermal decomposition of cyclohexane (c-C6H12) and 1-hexene (1-C6H12). The experimental data included 16 and 23 series, respectively, of H-atom profiles measured...

Electricity storage is considered as a valuable source of flexibility with applications covering the whole electricity value chain. Most of the existing evaluation methods for electricity storage are conceived for one specific use of the storage, which often leads to the conclusion that the...
