An advanced control system for the optimal operation and management of autonomous wind-diesel systems is presented. This system minimises the production costs through an on-line optimal scheduling of the power units, which takes into account the technical constraints of the diesel units, as well...

This paper deals with the problem of the identification and the thermal regulation of a solar paraboloidal collector. First, a short description of the experimental process is given and former modelling results are presented. Then, using experimental data, a bilinear model for the receiver of...

In this paper, an analysis for the actual and deeper cause of the finite precision error generation and accumulation in the FAEST-5p and the fast transversal filtering (FTF) algorithm is undertaken, on the basis of a new methodology and practice. In particular, it is proved that, in case where...

In the present study, distribution of the seismic acceleration at base rock level has been computed for the Zakynthos (Western Greece) M<Subscript>s</Subscript>=6.6 earthquake of 18 November 1997, using a semi-empirical approach, taking into consideration the shape and dimension of the fault as well as the direction...</subscript>

This study presents the sustainable planning of a renewables-based energy system, which aims to fulfil the electric needs of the island by replacing the existing diesel generators with new wind farms, photovoltaic installations and hydrogen production systems. Electric system design and least...

Three-dimensional velocity structure of the upper crust was determined by inversionof P-wave travel times in the region of Attiki Prefecture (Greece), located at the eastern part of the Greek mainland, which is traditionally considered as an area of low seismicity. An earthquake of Ms=5.9...
