Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage in a 100% renewable electricity grid: A UK case study (2021)
Journal Article

Energy storage will be required over a wide range of discharge durations in future zero-emission grids, from milliseconds to months. No single technology is well suited for the complete range. Using 9 years of UK data, this paper explores how to comb... Read More about Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage in a 100% renewable electricity grid: A UK case study.

Modelling, Analysis and Design Considerations of Multi-Phase Bearingless Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (2021)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a general multi-harmonics analytical model able to predict both torque and force behaviour of a multi-phase permanent magnet synchronous machine. This machine topology can be adopted in bearingless applications and in application...

A case study investigation into the risk of fatigue in synchronous flywheel energy stores and ramifications for the design of inertia replacement systems (2021)
Journal Article

Flywheels are an attractive energy storage solution for many reasons; high turnaround efficiencies, long cycling lives and high “ramp-up” power rates have all been noted in the literature. Novel flywheel based hybrid energy storage systems have also...

Analysis of the tribological interaction of a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined radial lip oil seal, shaft and lubricant sample (2021)
Journal Article

To investigate the tribological interaction and wear mechanisms of polytetrafluoroethylene-lined radial lip oil seals in service, a sleeve, seal and lubricant sample taken off a rotating rig are studied. The test was terminated at 72 h, after severe... Read More about Analysis of the tribological interaction of a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined radial lip oil seal, shaft and lubricant sample.

Seal Failure In Aerospace Applications -- Creating A Global Open-source Database (2021)
Journal Article

Seal failure in aerospace applications-creating a global open-source database Seals are essential components used in numerous applications across engineering. A seal is a component that impedes the flow of fluid through a given system. The word 'impe... Read More about Seal Failure In Aerospace Applications -- Creating A Global Open-source Database.

An Experimental Study of Contact Temperatures at Sealing Interface against Varying Shaft Surfaces (2021)
Journal Article

Increased temperatures at the sealing interface between the seal and shaft can reduce the working life of a seal through elastomer aging, swelling and increased friction. Degradation of the seal due to increased temperatures can cause pre‐mature fail... Read More about An Experimental Study of Contact Temperatures at Sealing Interface against Varying Shaft Surfaces.
