The aerodynamics of small-scale Darrieus vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) is investigated at chord-based Reynolds number between 1e5 and 1e6. Initially, wind resource assessment is done for two locations in Nottingham, UK for 4 years. Both locations experience highly unsteady wind and the average wind speed is lower for the location within the ci...

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Higher Education has been considerable, none more so for practical/vocational subjects such as Product Design. However, consider being deaf/hard-of-hearing (D/HOH) whilst being forced to study predominantly online, with reduced practical in-person teaching opportunities, being socially distanced, and having to...

In the recent years machine learning algorithms have developed further and various applications are taking advantage of this advancement. Modern machine learning is now used in district heating for more precise and realistic heat demand prediction. Machine learning methods like Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Linear Regression (LR), and Decision T...

This paper describes a multi-energy system optimisation software, “Sustainable Energy Management System” (SEMS), developed as part of a Siemens, Greater London Authority and Royal Borough of Greenwich partnership in collaboration with the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University and Imperial College London. The software was developed f...

Systems which can utilize the energy efficiently have been of much interest due to its promise to mitigate the energy crises. Internet of Things (IoT), i.e. the intercommunication of machines for an effective delivery of services with minimal human intervention, can form the basis of such systems. IoT based systems are gaining popularity due to the...

Artificial intelligence is compact incarnation block of logic,function and implementation of machine. An upcoming technology is now replacing human efficiency into machine intelligence. It is carried by either software or machine to increase its performance,quality and accuracy. This paper gives the idea about the techniques which can be adapted wh...
