The widespread deployment of distributed energy resources including volatile renewable generation raises the need for detailed distribution network analysis. In many cases, the vast system sizes make the joint analysis of multiple voltage levels comp...

This paper studies numerical simulations of the input-output behavior of a geothermal energy storage used in residential heating systems. There, under or aside of a building a certain domain is filled with soil and insulated from the surrounding grou...

In hub-motor electric vehicles (HMEVs), performance is adversely affected by the mechanical-electromagnetic coupling effect arising from deformations of the air gap in the Permanent Magnet Brushless Direct Current Motor (PM BLDC), which are exacerbat...

To fully recover abundant waste heat and reduce the operation cost in liquid-cooled data centers, a Carnot battery consisting of a heat pump (HP) and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is proposed. Due to the existence of different cycle states for HPs and...

There are currently numerous types of water-flooding characteristic curves, most of which are derived from fundamental theories such as material balance, relative permeability, along with experimental results. A single exponential or power function e...

Inspired by C. Alexandru, to achieve a balance between tracking accuracy and equipment cost and between single-axis tracking brackets and dual-axis tracking brackets, a kind of quasi-biaxial solar tracker, whose approximate two-axis motions are drive...

In recent years, rate of penetration (ROP) prediction using machine learning has attracted considerable interest. However, few studies have addressed ROP prediction uncertainty and its relation to training data and model inputs. This paper presents t...

The intermediate joint of high-voltage cables, as a critical component in the power transmission system, plays a direct role in the stable operation of the entire electrical system. In recent years, frequent explosions of intermediate joints in high-...

This study proposes a vertically stacked thermoelectric generator (TEG) design to enhance output power per unit volume. While the proposed TEG achieved improved conversion efficiency, the high inertia of the exhaust gas leads to significant flow mald...

The flow management of the gas–liquid mixture module is crucial for the transmission efficiency of crude oil-and-natural gas-gathering and transportation systems. The concurrent flow of high-viscosity crude oil and natural gas in gas–liqu...
