Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) are increasingly being deployed in large wind farms, the largest being in many cases offshore. This seminar will discuss the aerodynamic modelling of wind flow through large wind farms and how turbine operation may be controlled in order to maximise energy capture while minimising fatigue...

Approximately 90% of everything we use involves a catalytic process at some part of its life cycle and more than 80% of current industrial processes established since 1980 in the chemical, petrochemical and biochemical industries, as well as in the production of polymers and in environmental protection, use catalysts. Of...
