A sign-preserving filter for signal decomposition (2018)
Journal Article
Cárdenas, B., Davenne, T. R., & Garvey, S. (2018). A sign-preserving filter for signal decomposition. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1177/0959651818811182

There are optimization problems in which an improvement in performance or a reduction in cost can be attained if the input signal of the system is split into multiple components. Splitting the signal allows customizing the design of the system’s hard... Read More about A sign-preserving filter for signal decomposition.

Load optimization for reducing the cost of an electric vehicle’s battery pack (2018)
Journal Article
Cárdenas, B., & Garvey, S. D. (2018). Load optimization for reducing the cost of an electric vehicle’s battery pack. Journal of Energy Storage, 20, 254-263. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2018.09.018

This paper presents a study on the cost-optimization of the battery pack of a Nissan Leaf. The optimization is based on decomposing the load that the battery pack experiences into two components (low and high frequency), each of which will be handled...

A series hybrid “real inertia” energy storage system (2018)
Journal Article
Rouse, J., Garvey, S., Cárdenas, B., & Davenne, T. (2018). A series hybrid “real inertia” energy storage system. Journal of Energy Storage, 20, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2018.08.006

The wide scale market penetration of numerous renewable energy technologies is dependent, at least in part, on developing reliable energy storage methods that can alleviate concerns over potentially interrupted and uncertain supplies. Many challenges... Read More about A series hybrid “real inertia” energy storage system.

Stability of packed bed thermoclines (2018)
Journal Article
Davenne, T. R., Garvey, S. D., Cardenas, B., & Rouse, J. P. (2018). Stability of packed bed thermoclines. Journal of Energy Storage, 19, 192-200. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2018.07.015

© 2018 Packed bed thermoclines have attracted considerable interest as an economical method for storing large amounts of thermal energy. They are a constituent part of a range of proposed thermo-mechanical energy storage systems, such as Adiabatic Co... Read More about Stability of packed bed thermoclines.
