This study investigates the effects of velocity deficits on performance wind turbines in multi-row farms, focusing two types turbines: Gamesa G132 and SG8. The analysis examines impact turbine spacing key metrics, including Annual Energy Production, energy production losses, capacity factor. Two models are used: classical Jensen model, assuming a constant thrust coefficient (CT), an updated model that incorporates actual turbine-specific CT(U) characteristics. results demonstrate as...
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is one of the most influential fuels 21st century, especially in terms global economy. The demand for LNG forecasted to reach 400 million tonnes by 2020, increasing up 500 2030. Due its high mass and volumetric energy density, perfect fuel long-distance transport, as well use mobile applications. It also characterized low levels emissions, which why it has been officially approved a marine Emission Control Areas (ECAs) where stricter controls have established...
Recent advances in the measurements with sensitive magnetic field sensors made issue of shielding important. The application high temperature superconductors allows to obtain full zero cooling conditions for DC and low frequency fields by means Meissner effect. However, currently used conventional bulk shields maintain only fields—up approximately 10 mT. In this paper, it is proposed apply an additional screen a coated superconducting tape order increase interval region. Computer model such...
The superconducting, heavy ion synchrotron SIS100 is the core of new FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany. Its unique design dedicated to acceleration intermediate charge state ions. Several technical approaches assure stabilization vacuum dynamics and minimization related beam loss. Beside high intensity ions, will accelerate all ions from Protons Uranium, in spite fact that superconducting magnets are used, shall be as flexible ramping cycling a normal conducting synchrotron.
Cryogenic energy storage (CES) systems are promising alternatives to existing electrical technologies such as a pumped hydroelectric (PHS) or compressed air (CAES). In CES systems, excess is used liquefy cryogenic fluid. The liquid can be stored in large tanks for long time. When demand the electricity high, cryogen high pressure and then warmed heat exchanger using ambient temperature an available waste source. vaporized drive turbine generate electricity. Most research on focuses storage,...
The feasibility of a next generation neutrino observatory in Europe is being considered within the LAGUNA design study. To accommodate giant detectors and shield them from cosmic rays, new very large underground infrastructure required. Seven potential candidate sites different parts at several distances CERN are studied: Boulby (UK), Canfranc (Spain), Fr\'ejus (France/Italy), Pyh\"asalmi (Finland), Polkowice-Sieroszowice (Poland), Slanic (Romania) Umbria (Italy). study aims comprehensive...
Helium is the second most abundant element in Universe after hydrogen. Considerable resources of helium-3 isotope (He3) are located mostly outside Earth. He3 very important for science and industry, especially airport neutron detectors, lung tomography helium dilution refrigerators. Besides, global warming forcing industry governments to search alternative energy sources, has potential be used as fuel future nuclear fusion power plants. Unfortunately, price gaseous recently increased from...
