“We Learnt that Being Together Would Give us a Voice”: Gender Perspectives on the East African Improved-Cookstove Value Chain (2019)
Journal Article
Sesan, T., Clifford, M., Jewitt, S., & Ray, C. (2019). “We Learnt that Being Together Would Give us a Voice”: Gender Perspectives on the East African Improved-Cookstove Value Chain. Feminist Economics, 25(4), 240-266. https://doi.org/10.1080/13545701.2019.1657924

© 2019, © 2019 IAFFE. Improved cookstoves (ICS) have been promoted for several decades, with little success. Advocates looking to drive uptake encourage greater involvement of women in ICS enterprises, on the largely unproven premise that women’s par...

Experimental evaluation of predictive voltage control for a four‐leg two‐stage matrix converter (2019)
Journal Article
Garcia, C., Rivera, M., Rodriguez, J., & Wheeler, P. (2019). Experimental evaluation of predictive voltage control for a four‐leg two‐stage matrix converter. IET Power Electronics, 12(12), 3077-3084. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-pel.2018.6378

Model predictive control (MPC) has emerged as a real alternative for the control of different topologies of power converters. In particular, MPC has been successfully applied in matrix converters, significantly reducing the difficulty of control comp...

Slug Translational Velocity for Highly Viscous Oil and Gas Flows in Horizontal Pipes (2019)
Journal Article
Baba, Y. D., Archibong-Eso, A., Aliyu, A. M., Fajemidupe, O. T., Ribeiro, J. X., Lao, L., & Yeung, H. (2019). Slug Translational Velocity for Highly Viscous Oil and Gas Flows in Horizontal Pipes. Fluids, 4(3), Article 170. https://doi.org/10.3390/fluids4030170

Slug translational velocity, described as the velocity of slug units, is the summation of the maximum mixture velocity in the slug body and the drift velocity. Existing prediction models in literature were developed based on observation from low visc... Read More about Slug Translational Velocity for Highly Viscous Oil and Gas Flows in Horizontal Pipes.

IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 11(2), 1604 -1619. https://doi.org/10.1109/tsg.2019.2941117

A distributed control system is proposed which uses the Conservative Power Theory (CPT) and a consensus algorithm to share imbalance and harmonics between different converters in three-phase four-wire droop-controlled Microgrids (MGs). The CPT is use... Read More about Distributed Control Strategy Based on a Consensus Algorithm and on the Conservative Power Theory for Imbalance and Harmonic Sharing in 4-Wire Microgrids.
