A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Nyam Jargalsaikhan (17380429)

“…Consequently, WECS can produce electric power at a reduced level until the wind speed reaches 35 m/s and the possibility of shutting down the wind turbines decreases. The proposed algorithm decreases the mechanical stress of wind turbine by decelerating rotational speed rather than turbine torque in strong wind regions. …”

Characterization of Electronic and Ionic Transport in Li_1-_<em>x</em>Ni_0.33Mn_0.33Co_0.33O₂(NMC₃₃₃) and Li... by Ruhul Amin (2113627)

“…The lithium ion diffusivity is at least one order of magnitude lower, and decreases with increasing <i>x</i> to at <i>x</i> = ∼0.5. …”

Thermo-economic analysis of a novel P2X polygeneration system for hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol production with near-zero emissions by Laveet Kumar (11460088)

“…The system's levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) decreases significantly from $1.70/kg to $0.80/kg, and the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) decreases from 4.30 ¢/kWh to 3.30 ¢/kWh. …”

Impact of composition and salinity on swelling and gel strength of poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) preformed particle gel by Ahmed Ben Ali (17792594)

“…In contrast, increasing the crosslinker content decreases the swelling ratio and increases the gel strength. …”

The Influence of Loneliness and Living Alone on the Quality of Life of the Elderly: Evidence from Europe by Ammari, Lora

“…This research indicates a positive correlation between living alone and loneliness, with a greater effect on males, and identifies loneliness as an independent factor decreasing QoL. The study also uncovers the complex impact living alone has on QoL, underscoring that the feeling of loneliness is detrimental to well-being, not merely the fact of living alone. …”
