  • Optimizing Performance and Fuel Economy of a Dual-Clutch Transmission Powertrain with Model-Based Design.
  • Wind Turbine DesignPrimary objective in wind turbine design is to maximize the aerodynamic efficiency, or power extracted from the wind. But this objective should be met by well satisfying mechanical strength criteria and economical aspects. In this video we will see impact of number of blades, blade shape, blade length and tower height on wind turbine design.
  • Modelling Complex Mechanical Structures with SimMechanicsModeling physical components or systems in Simulink® typically involves a tradeoff between simulation speed and model fidelity or complexity: the higher the fidelity of the model, the greater the effort needed to create it..
  • Biomass Energy Vs. Natural GasIn 2009, natural gas prices plunged to below $4 per MMBtu where many "Experts" are saying that prices will remain low for decades as a result of technology break-throughs allowing for sizable increases in natural gas supply for North America. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) just released data projections reflecting this potential increased supply in natural gas.

Study shows that renewable energy auctions don't reduce costs any more than feed-in tariffs

Posted by Sohail Azad On 08:29

A study just published in the International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management says that renewable energy auctions do not reduce costs of renewable energy projects any more than conventional feed-in tariffs.SeeRenewable Energy Auctions and Tenders: How good are they?David TokeAbstractThis paper analyses the performance of two cases of renewable energy (RE) auction/tender systems in an effort to contribute to the evaluation of RE auction/tender systems and to study best practice...

Eco-modernism - I've been mugged!

Posted by Sohail Azad On 10:49

As an academic who has written widely about ecological modernisation - essentially how business can combine ecological protection and development - I feel thoroughly mugged by the recent launch of the so-called 'eco-modernist' agenda. It ended up being associated with people like Owen Paterson, who wants to scrap the 2008 Climate Change Act, and one of so-called eco-modernism's founders, Mark Lynas seemed surprised by this.But you shouldn't be surprised if you do read the so-called eco-modernist'...
