This paper provides a method for determining the economic incentives and limitations for a battery used for peak clipping, with the goal of finding an optimal mix between the battery’s power density and energy density. A ratio called the R-factor has been introduced, which helps determine the energy demand to curb the peak. The paper’s results embrace different investment scenarios showing what ...

Adverse effects of fossil fuel burning internal combustion engine vehicles has alarmed nations worldwide. With recent technological advancements in electric vehicle industry, governments throughout the world are promoting wider adoption of electric vehicles to mitigate environmental issues. However, increasing popularity of electric vehicles will pose a great threat to existing electric grids due ...

We study embeddings of weighted local and consequently global generalized Morrey spaces defined on a quasi-metric measure set (X, d, μ) of general nature which may be unbounded, into Lebesgue spaces Ls(X), 1 ≤ s ≤ p < ∞. The main motivation for obtaining such an embedding is to have an embedding of non-separable Morrey space into a separable space. In the general setting of quasi-metric measure ...

This thesis project was commissioned by Cegal and aimed to investigate the potential for demand-side flexibility in the Helgeland region, as well as evaluate forecasting methods for a demand-response system. The future energy situation in the area was analyzed, while the experimental part investigated forecasting methods which can be applied in a demand-response system. Finally, the project i ...

Increased knowledge about energy dissipation processes around colliding ice floes is important for improved understanding of atmosphere-ice-ocean energy transfer, wave propagation through sea ice, and the polar climates. The aim of this study is to obtain such information by investigating colliding ice floe dynamics in a large-scale experiment and directly measuring and quantifying the turbulent ...

Track geometry is a fundamental subject in railway construction. With the demand for increased capacity in terms of load and speed, the need for suitable transitions between consecutive track sections is highly relevant. Properly constructed transition curves lead to improved travel comfort, increased safety, and reduced wear. The well known clothoid curve is widely used as a transition curve; ...

Flipped classroom (FC) pedagogical frameworks have recently gained considerable popularity, especially at secondary school levels. However, there are rich opportunities to explore FC at tertiary levels, but progress on the area requires instructors’ attention to well-designed tasks for students’ collaborative learning. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) provides a foundation for the development ...

Some new extensions and re finements of Hermite – Hadamard and Fejer type inequalities for functions which are N -quasiconvex are derived and discussed.

In this paper we explore ERBS extraction in application to a heat conduction problem.Two types of basis functions are considered: B-spline and expo-rational B-spline (ERBS)combined with Bernstein polynomials. The first one is a global basis defined on a subdomain whose size is related to the spline degree, while the second one is a strictlylocal basis under the local geometry. While all the coefficients ...
