FLEXIBLE SYSTEMS DESIGN

open access: yesProceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2016
The research explores the relationship between uncertainty, flexibility and Life Cycle Design in the design of complex systems, in general, and in the particular case of the design of building systems. In the architectural-engineering works, conceived as activities aimed at generating new systems, the comparison with the uncertainty is inevitable ...

Data modelling of converters for the automation and monitoring of MTDC grids

open access: yesIET Smart Grid, 2019
Multi-terminal DC (MTDC) grids based on voltage source converters (VSCs) are a promising option to integrate the increasing share of generation from the distributed energy resources (DERs) both in the transmission and distribution grids.

Flexible CSC‐HVDC system

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
The current source converter (CSC)‐HVDC system is the key technology for long distance large power transmission. However, the traditional CSC‐HVDC has two serious shortcomings: (i) vulnerable to commutation failures; and (ii) not being able to control its reactive power.

Wave-Based Attitude Control of Spacecraft with Fuel Sloshing Dynamics

open access: yesArchive of Mechanical Engineering, 2016
Wave-Based Control has been previously applied successfully to simple under-actuated flexible mechanical systems. Spacecraft and rockets with structural flexibility and sloshing are examples of such systems but have added difficulties due to non-uniform ...
