Bias free multiobjective active learning for materials design and discovery

Berend Smit, Kevin Maik Jablonka, Shi-Lin Wang

The design rules for materials are clear for applications with a single objective. For most applications, however, there are often multiple, sometimes competing objectives where there is no single best material and the design rules change to finding the se ...

Frontiers of (Pareto) Optimal and Sustainable Water Management for Hydropower and Ecology

David Andrew Barry, Paolo Perona, Amin Niayifar, Pierre Razurel

River regulation alters the natural flow regime of streams with consequent impacts on terrestrial and aquatic habitats of the riparian zone. The severity of such impacts can be modulated by changing the redistribution rules at water intakes and reservoirs. ...

Efficiency Optimisation of Slotless Magnetic Bearing Machines

Yves Perriard, Douglas Martins Araujo, Leopoldo Rossini, Guzmán Borque Gallego

Efficiency is one of the key performance indexes in the design of electric motors. When considering fully active magnetic bearing machines, this aspect gain further relevance due to the necessity of actively controlling all the remaining degrees of freedom ...

Photoinduced processes in hybrid perovskite for optoelectronics

Valentin Ianis Emmanuel Queloz

Hybrids organic-inorganic perovskite(HOP) solar cells have unequivocally the potential for being a new generation of solar panels with a lower cost and a greater efficiency than well-known silicon solar panels. Today, even if HOPs are seen as one of the be ...

Numerical investigation on the volute cutwater for pumps running in turbine mode

Elena Vagnoni, Alessandro Morabito

The hydropower sector has recently raised the interest in pump as turbine (PaT) that can be a valid trade-off between capital cost and performance in micro-scale installations. Nevertheless, the modest efficiency of PaTs often restricts their exploitation. ...

Blocking the Charge Recombination with Diiodide Radicals by TiO2 Compact Layer in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Nikolaos Vlachopoulos, Kazuteru Nonomura

The addition of a compact titanium dioxide (TiO2) layer between the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate and the mesoporous TiO2 layer in the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on the iodide/triiodide redox couple (I-/I-3(-)) is known t ...

Urban cells: Extending the energy hub concept to facilitate sector and spatial coupling

Yi Wang, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Kavan Javanroodi

The rapid growth of urban areas and concerns over climate change make it vital to improve the energy sustainability of cities. Understanding the complex interactions within different sectors (sectoral) and localities (spatial) of cities plays a crucial rol ...
