Wind resource assessment in the Edinburgh region (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Irshad, W., Goh, K., & Kubie, J. (2009). Wind resource assessment in the Edinburgh region. In 2009 World Non-Grid-Connected Wind Power and Energy Conference. https://doi.org/10.1109/wnwec.2009.5335836

In recent years, a growing number of manufacturers have produced small wind turbines that are suitable for utilization of wind energy by individual householders or small businesses. These small wind turbine systems are unavoidably installed close to... Read More about Wind resource assessment in the Edinburgh region.

Security assessment of importing solar electricity for the EU (2009)
Journal Article
Asif, M., Currie, J., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2009). Security assessment of importing solar electricity for the EU. Journal of the Energy Institute, 82(2), 102-105. https://doi.org/10.1179/014426009x394008

Prosperity in any society is subject to an adequate and consistent provision of energy. It is crucial to adopt an energy strategy with least dependence on vulnerable energy supply channels such as imported oil from foreign/overseas countries. The p...

Models for Estimating Solar Radiation and Illuminance From Meteorological Parameters (2000)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., Gul, M. S., & Kubie, J. (2000). Models for Estimating Solar Radiation and Illuminance From Meteorological Parameters. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 122(3), 146. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.1313529

Sunshine fraction, cloud amount, temperature, and global irradiation are the most commonly measured meteorological parameters. In this article five models based mainly on the abovementioned variables for the determination of irradiation and illuminan...

An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels (1995)
Journal Article
Schmidt, O., & Kubie, J. (1995). An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 21(6), 1163-1168. https://doi.org/10.1016/0301-9322%2895%2900051-x

This paper considers the outflow of a liquid from a single outlet vessel, i.e. a vessel in which the outflowing liquid is displaced by another fluid which enters the vessel through the same opening. The simplest possible arrangement is investigated:... Read More about An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels.
