Presentation / Conference Contribution
Boix, D. M., Goh, K., & McWhinnie, J. (2017, October). Modelling and control of helicopter robotic landing gear for uneven ground conditions. Presented at 2017 Workshop on Research, Education and Development of Unmanned Aerial Systems (RED-UAS)

This paper proposes a method to investigate into helicopter landing on uneven terrain by means of using a scaled articulated robotic landing gear. A mathematical model of an articulated robotic landing gear that adapts to uneven ground conditions is...

Numerical investigation of a joint approach to thermal energy storage and compressed air energy storage in aquifers (2017)
Journal Article
Guo, C., Zhang, K., Pan, L., Cai, Z., Li, C., & Li, Y. (2017). Numerical investigation of a joint approach to thermal energy storage and compressed air energy storage in aquifers. Applied Energy, 203, 948-958. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2017.06.030

Different from conventional compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems, the advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) system can store the compression heat which can be used to reheat air during the electricity generation stage. Th... Read More about Numerical investigation of a joint approach to thermal energy storage and compressed air energy storage in aquifers.
