Introduction to Energy Systems Modelling

Introduction to wind energy systems

— This article presents the basic concepts of wind energy and deals with the physics and mechanics of operation. It describes the conversion of wind energy into rotation of turbine, and the critical parameters governing the efficiency of this conversion. After that it presents an overview of various parts and components of windmills. The connection to the electrical grid, the world status of wi...

Introduction to Probabilistic Modelling

We give a brief introduction to probability and probabilistic modelling. The document is a refresher, prior knowledge about the topic is assumed.

Introduction to OMG Modelling

Tutorial introduction to the modelling and control of hybrid systems

A tutorial introduction is provided to the relatively new subject of hybrid systems. The modelling of hybrid systems is assuming ever greater importance for systems where the combination of continuous control and with logical decision making is required. This arises in some of the most critical operating regions where systems are under start-up, shutdown or are undergoing major planned changes....

Introduction to Physical Systems Modelling with Bond Graphs

Bond graphs are a domain-independent graphical description of dynamic behaviour of physical systems. This means that systems from different domains (cf. electrical, mechanical, hydraulical, acoustical, thermodymanical, material) are described in the same way. The basis is that bond graphs are based on energy and energy exchange. Analogies between domains are more than just equations being analo...
