This study examines the distributional properties of futures prices for contracts traded on LIFFE. A filtering process is employed to remove day of the week and holiday effects, a maturity effect, moving average effects ...
This paper examines the ability of a power system to accommodate wind generation with varying ratios of doubly fed induction generator and fixed speed induction generator
turbines from both static and dynamic aspects. By ...
This paper describes a large scale test of six WIM systems and four additional sensors
on an urban roadway in Zürich, Switzerland. Gross weights from some thousands of
statically weighed vehicles were used to determine ...
This paper examines the small-signal stability impacts of high penetrations of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines on power systems. It provides a basic overview of small-signal stability concepts and then ...

The past few months have exposed serious problems in relation to
Europe’s ability to cope with financial stress. Placing the new Financial Stability
funds on a permanent basis, in the form of a new European Monetary Fund ...
Jet grouting is a ground improvement technique that has become widely adopted over the past three decades, yet relatively little data has been published about performance characteristics of mixes under adverse conditions, ...
The concept of capacity credit is widely used to quantify the contribution of renewable
technologies to securing demand. This may be quantified in a number of ways; this paper
recommends the use of Effective Load ...
Unknown-breakpoint tests for possible structural change have become standard in recent years, with the most popular being the so-called Sup-F tests, whose asymptotic
distribution was derived by Andrews (1993). We highlight ...
Growing worldwide interest in the exploitation of geothermal energy resources has led to a scenario where the technology routinely forms part of building-scale renewable energy feasibility studies. A thorough understanding ...
The effect of various organic solvents on the catalytic activity, stability and substrate specificity of alchohol dehydrogenase from Haloferax volcanii (HvADH2) was evaluated. The HvADH2 showed remarkable stability and ...
