Modeling and Experimental Study of a Dual‐Receiver Parabolic Solar Concentrator for Direct Electricity Generation and Thermal Storage for Isolated Sites

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Approximately 64% of the population in sub‐Saharan Africa lacks access to electricity, despite the region's high solar potential, making concentrated solar power a promising solution for decentralized and sustainable energy supply. This study presents the design, construction, and testing of a parabolic solar concentrator with two focal‐point receivers

Active clearance control system for a turbomachine [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
An axial compressor is provided with a cooling air manifold surrounding a portion of the shroud, and means for bleeding air from the compressor to the manifold for selectively flowing it in a modulating manner axially along the outer side of the stator ...

Robust Control Using a Matrix Converter to Enhance Wind Turbine Systems

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study uses a more efficient and effective solution to improve the operational performance of a wind turbine‐based power system. This system uses a doubly fed induction generator and relies on a matrix converter and fractional‐order proportional–integral controller.

Examining the Effect of Virtual Reality‐Based Environmental Education on Creative Problem‐Solving Skills

open access: yesFuture in Educational Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to examine the effect of participation in the virtual reality‐based environmental education (VRBEE) program on the creative problem‐solving (CPS) skills of middle school students in Turkey. The research was conducted with 125 students from a public middle school, and their CPS skills were assessed using a pre‐test–post‐

Research on the Axial Force of Conical-Rotor Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors with Turbines

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
The general method to suppress the axial force of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) direct-drive turbine is to increase the number of balance devices, such as balance disks and special bearings, to counteract its influence, but this also ...

Field Telemetry of Blade-rotor Coupled Torsional Vibration at Matuura Power Station Number 1 Unit [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The quasi-modal reduction technique and finite element model (FEM) were used to construct an analytical model for the blade-rotor coupled torsional vibration of a steam turbine generator of the Matuura Power Station.

Second‐Order Between‐Supplier Learning

open access: yesJournal of Operations Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Substantial empirical evidence shows that suppliers in emerging economies can enhance their technological capabilities through direct learning from technologically advanced foreign competitors. However, suppliers in emerging markets may struggle to learn directly from knowledge about competitors’ products that are not widely available on the ...
