Polyethylene Sheeting as a Water Surface Cover in Sub-zero Temperatures [PDF]

, 1973
The occurrence of temperatures below -20°C in central Alaska produces a situation conducive to the formation of ice fog. By far the largest source of ice fog in the Fairbanks area is the evaporation of water in the cooling ponds of power plants.

Short-Term Control of Heat Pumps to Support Power Grid Operation

IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society
The increasing adoption of heat pumps presents new challenges for power grids, including the potential overloading of transformers and cables. To address this issue, in this work, a model predictive control for a low-temperature district heating network ...

Numerical modelling of hailstone impact on the leading edge of a wind turbine blade [PDF]

, 2013
The scale of modern blades means that tip speeds in excess of 100ms-1 are now common in utility scale turbines. Coupling this with a hailstone terminal velocity ranging from 9ms-1 to 40ms-1, the relative impact velocity becomes highly significant.
