This paper presents the results of an optimisation analysis aimed at exploring the geographical allocation of solar PV generation capacity in the context of grid support considerations such as average daily yield and variability, with particular focus on the full year scenario compared to the high demand season. All problem cases were evaluated using a combination of genetic algorithm (GA) and pattern...
This paper presents the results of an exploratory study aimed at investigating the impacts of optimisation of PV plant locations in South Africa in the context of the seasonal and diurnal cycles associated with the system load profiles and solar generation profiles. The distribution of a normalised per-unit generation capacity is optimised across a set of locations chosen to represent the diurnal...
This article reports on the optimisation of a transverse flux, linear oscillating generator based on transient three dimensional finite element analysis. The generator is intended for use in a free-piston Stirling engine. A quasi-Halbach translator design is proposed. An optimisation approach that minimises overall mass while maintaining a set minimum power output and efficiency is described. Simulated...
This article reports on a finite element analysis assisted optimisation strategy for a moving iron, transverse flux, short stroke linear generator for free-piston Stirling engine applications. The optimisation goal is to maximise the power-to-weight ratio while maintaining preset power and efficiency levels. The topology and the implementation of the optimisation strategy are described, followed by...
