Optimisation of biomass milling for conveyance and combustion (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Williams, O., Eastwick, C., Lester, E., Giddings, D., & Byrne, N. (2013). Optimisation of biomass milling for conveyance and combustion.

Agricultural wastes are increasingly being used as biomass materials for co-firing in coal fired power stations. However issues in milling and conveyance of agricultural residues are limiting the use of these resources and a greater understanding of...

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of an entire synchronous generator for improved thermal management (2013)
Journal Article
Connor, P. H., Pickering, S., Gerada, C., Eastwick, C., Micallef, C., & Tighe, C. (2013). Computational fluid dynamics modelling of an entire synchronous generator for improved thermal management. IET Electric Power Applications, 7(3), https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-epa.2012.0278

This study is the first in a series dedicated to investigating the airflow and thermal management of electrical machines. Owing to the temperature dependent resistive losses in the machine's windings, any improvement in cooling provides a direct redu...

Noise levels and noise perception from small and micro wind turbines (2013)
Journal Article
Taylor, J., Eastwick, C., Lawrence, C., & Wilson, R. (in press). Noise levels and noise perception from small and micro wind turbines. Renewable Energy, 55, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2012.11.031

Noise concerns frequently pose a barrier to widespread implementation of wind turbines and while the perception of noise from large turbines has been investigated, there is a relative gap in the research for small and micro wind turbines. This paper... Read More about Noise levels and noise perception from small and micro wind turbines.
