Array Losses in Large Wind FarmsContext/BackgroundE.ON is the owner/operator of large wind farms, both on- and off-shore. The company has an active programme of building further, larger wind farms, for example in the context of the UK Crown Estates Round 3 programme.Each successive row of wind turbines in a wind farm takes kinetic energy from the wind. There is usually insufficient distance between rows for the wind’s kinetic energy to be fully replenished by turbulent mixing of momentum from the atmospheric boundary layer adjacent to the wind farm.Existing methods for estimating array loss are inadequate for large wind farms. This...

A Research Associate is required to work on a joint TSB, EPSRC funded project to develop an innovative simulation-based optimization tool for use in the minimization of building carbon emissions and costs. The research will be conducted in collaboration with leading building design and cost consultants and a building performance simulation software vendor. You will be responsible for developing a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm together with numerical procedures that aid decision making. You will have an outstanding first degree (or equivalent qualification) and a research background in computer science (particularly evolutionary algorithms), or in a building energy discipline. A PhD...
