Electromagnetic launch systems for civil aircraft assisted take-off (2015)
Journal Article
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2015). Electromagnetic launch systems for civil aircraft assisted take-off. Archives of Electrical Engineering, 64(4), https://doi.org/10.1515/aee-2015-0039

This paper considers the feasibility of different technologies for an electromagnetic launcher to assist civil aircraft take-off. This method is investigated to reduce the power required from the engines during initial acceleration. Assisted launch h...

Economic analysis of a hybrid energy storage system based on liquid air and compressed air (2015)
Journal Article
Pimm, A. J., Garvey, S. D., & Kantharaj, B. (2015). Economic analysis of a hybrid energy storage system based on liquid air and compressed air. Journal of Energy Storage, 4, 24-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2015.09.002

A hybrid energy storage system is defined here as one which comprises two series-connected energy stores (using different storage technologies), only one of which is connected to the grid. Such a plant can take advantage of certain characteristics of... Read More about Economic analysis of a hybrid energy storage system based on liquid air and compressed air.

Compressed air energy storage with liquid air capacity extension (2015)
Journal Article
Kantharaj, B., Garvey, S. D., & Pimm, A. J. (2015). Compressed air energy storage with liquid air capacity extension. Applied Energy, 157, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2015.07.076

As renewable electricity generation capacity increases, energy storage will be required at larger scales. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) at large scales, with effective management of heat, is recognised to have potential to provide affordable g...
