    • Optimal power flow based coordinated reactive and active power control to mitigate voltage violations in smart inverter enriched distribution network 

      Wagle, Raju; Sharma, Pawan; Charu, Sharma; Amin, Mohammad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-30)
      Voltage violations are the main problem faced in distribution networks (DN) with a higher penetration of inverter-based generations (IBG). Active and reactive power control from smart inverters (SI) can mitigate such violations. Optimal power flow (OPF)-based control provides more accurate operating set points for the coordinated operation of SIs. Therefore, this paper presents a three-phase OPF-based ...
    • Optimal routing and charging procedures for electric buses 

      Masliakova, Kseniia (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-04-06)
      The goal of the project is to use Ant Colony Optimization techniques with Genetic Algorithm to design and analyse routes and recharging schedules for electric buses. One system so-called “en route” charging was analysed where the bus applies a kind of pantograph at bus stops to recharge the bus batteries. This implies more frequent, but short recharging intervals. The program offers diff t variants ...

    • Optimization of the CO2 Liquefaction Process-Performance Study with Varying Ambient Temperature 

      Jackson, Steven; Brodal, Eivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-22)
      In carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) projects, the transportation of CO2 by ship can be an attractive alternative to transportation using a pipeline, particularly when the distance between the source and usage or storage location is large. However, a challenge associated with this approach is that the energy consumption of the liquefaction process can be significant, which makes the ...

    • Optimization study of heat pumps using refrigerant blends – Ejector versus expansion valve systems 

      Brodal, Eivind; Eiksund, Oddmar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-19)
      This article investigates tap water heating systems to highlight an ongoing debate. Some report that CO2-based transcritical heat pumps with an ejector have the best coefficient of performance (COP), while others report that blend-based refrigerant systems (without an ejector) are better. In the literature, however, these systems are only compared with conventional heat pump designs, and not against ...
    • Optimized cardiac simulation as a tool to understand patient specific mechanical function 

      Odeigah, Oscar Ofordile (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-06-28)
      The muscular tissue of the heart is able to contract in the absence of external load. This behaviour is stimulated by a spontaneous electrical depolarization of cardiac cells in the sinoatrial node, which spreads electrical activation through the whole heart, that triggers the synchronized mechanical contraction of the heart muscle. This phenomenon, referred to as active contraction is commonly ...
