Reducing variability in the cost of energy of ocean energy arrays Open
Variability in the predicted cost of energy of an ocean energy converter array is more substantial than for other forms of energy generation, due to the combined stochastic action of weather conditions and failures. If the variability is g…

Techno-Economic Related Metrics for a Wave Energy Converters Feasibility Assessment Open
When designing “multi-MW arrays” of Wave Energy Converters (WECs), having a low number of converters with high individual power ratings can be beneficial as the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs may be reduced. However, having converte…

On the optimisation of mechanical properties of PP moulded parts Open
An injection moulding study that utilised an L9 (34) Taguchi array to determine the optimal process condition of a semi-crystalline PP grade is discussed. This used a multipurpose tensile bar geometry with the objective to maximise the mec…
