LOAD ESTIMATION OF OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

Load Estimation of Offshore Wind Turbines

The influence of 3 MW Hywind-II wind turbine wakes from an upstream offshore floating wind turbine on a downstream turbine with a separation distance of seven rotor diameters was studied for a site in the Gulf of Maine.The turbines and the platforms were subjected to atmospheric boundary layer flows.Various sensitivity studies on fatigue loads with

Improving flood forecasting capability of physically based distributed hydrological models by parameter optimization

Physically based distributed hydrological models (hereafter referred to as PBDHMs) divide the terrain of the whole catchment into a number of grid cells at fine resolution and assimilate different terrain data and precipitation to different cells.They are regarded to have the potential to improve the catchment hydrological process simulation and pr

The dark side of the QT interval. The Short QT Syndrome: pathophysiology, clinical presentation and management

A large number of studies has been carried out to investigate the pathophysiology and the clinical implications of QT interval prolongation in the ECG over recent years (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).It was only in the last decade, however, that the scientists have focused on the specular aspects of the long QT syndrome (LQTS), and it is now well established F
