Thermodynamic comparison and dynamic simulation of direct and indirect solar organic Rankine cycle systems with PCM storage
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alvi, J. Z., Imran, M., Pei, G., Li, J., Gao, G., & Alvi, J. Thermodynamic comparison and dynamic simulation of direct and indirect solar organic Rankine cycle systems with PCM storage. Presented at 4th International Seminar on ORC Power Systems, Milan, Italy

A thermodynamic comparison between a novel direct solar ORC system (DSOS) and indirect solar ORC system (ISOS) is carried out in this study. A phase change material (PCM) heat storage unit is integrated with both systems to ensure the stability of po...

A novel concentrated solar power system using cascade steam-organic Rankine cycle and two-stage accumulators
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., Gao, G., Pei, G., Li, P., Su, Y., Ji, J., & Riffat, S. A novel concentrated solar power system using cascade steam-organic Rankine cycle and two-stage accumulators. Presented at 9th International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE 2017), Cardiff, UK

A novel direct steam generation solar power system is proposed based on steam screw expander, cascade steam-organic Rankine cycle (SORC) and two-stage accumulators. The high temperature accumulator (HTA) enables smooth power conversion and stores the...

Paper 4: Instabilities in downslope propagating gravity currents
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Skevington, E. W. G., Lloyd, C. J., Atoufi, A., & Doak, A. (2023, July). Paper 4: Instabilities in downslope propagating gravity currents. Presented at NFFDy Summer Programme on ‘Data in Fluids’, Cambridge

In this paper, the stability of a gravity current propagating down an inclined channel is explored. The gravity current is generated through a partial lock release. A local analysis of the flow about the lock is conducted using classical methodologie... Read More about Paper 4: Instabilities in downslope propagating gravity currents.

Safety Monitoring for Large Language Models: A Case Study of Offshore Wind Maintenance
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walker, C., Rothon, C., Aslansefat, K., Papadopoulos, Y., & Dethlefs, N. (2024, February). Safety Monitoring for Large Language Models: A Case Study of Offshore Wind Maintenance. Presented at Safety Critical Systems Symposium SSS'24, Bristol, UK

It has been forecasted that a quarter of the world's energy usage will be supplied from Offshore Wind (OSW) by 2050 (Smith 2023). Given that up to one third of Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) arises from Operations and Maintenance (O&M), the motive f...

Geometry Effect on Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric Transient Performance
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shittu, S., Li, G., Zhao, X., & Ma, X. (2019, August). Geometry Effect on Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric Transient Performance. Presented at International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE 2019), Västerås, Sweden

This paper presents a three-dimensional numerical investigation on the effect of thermoelectric geometry on hybrid photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PVTE) performance under varying weather conditions. Four thermoelectric (TE) geometries corresponding to f... Read More about Geometry Effect on Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric Transient Performance.
