Voltage and frequency stability enhancement of islanded network (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Nowadays, for economic and environmental reasons, power systems usually work close to the limits of stability to make the most of existing networks. However, in such systems, sudden faults can cause severe instability between all equipment of the sys... Read More about Voltage and frequency stability enhancement of islanded network.

Voltage stability improvement in multi-terminal HVDC grids: A case study of cigré B4 HVDC test grid (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

High voltage direct current (HVDC) breaker is among the essential components of HVDC grids. Currently, DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) of HVDC grids require relatively large DC reactors to limit the rate of increase of fault current. However, DC reactors...

UNICEF guidance on AI for children: Application to the design of a social robot for and with autistic children (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

For a period of three weeks in June 2021, we embedded a social robot (Softbank Pepper) in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school, with a focus on supporting the well-being of autistic children. Our methodology to design and embed the robot among th... Read More about UNICEF guidance on AI for children: Application to the design of a social robot for and with autistic children.

Investigating Browne's method (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Results supports Browne’s procedure of pilot sample size determination. However the data reveals that the procedure underestimates and overestimates sample size. Fig. 1 shows 𝛼 and 𝛽 have no practical effect on degree of excess which increases as... Read More about Investigating Browne's method.

Targeting global environmental challenges by the means of novel multimodal transport: Concept of operations (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Novel modes of transport form the basis of environmentally friendly and economically efficient transport system of the future. This paper introduces the feasibility study of a Dock to Dock (D2D) use case, combining aspects of route development and in...

Observing and tracking the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The subtropical waters between Hawaii and California are currently infested with an accumulation of plastic estimated to be twice the area of Texas, otherwise known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). This paper presents a novel CubeSat missio... Read More about Observing and tracking the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Contactless robust 3D palm-print identification using photometric stereo (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Palmprints are of considerable interest as a reliable biometric, since they offer significant advantages, such as greater user acceptance than fingerprint or iris recognition. 2D systems can be spoofed by a photograph of a hand; however, 3D avoids th...

The case for an intervention scale to design the balance of authority for robotic assistance (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

According to United Nations, by 2050 over 20% of the population will be over 65 years old. Ensuring that our ageing population stays independent and healthy for as long as possible requires higher numbers of health and social care professionals than...

Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Space debris is a topic of growing concern as the space industry evolves. This paper describes the findings of a new model used to classify the materials used in current orbital objects. It utilises data from sources including ESA’s DISCOS (Database... Read More about Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources.

Educating engineers to contribute to a regional goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2030 (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The environmental and health impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss are now apparent and yet cohesive policymaking to mitigate emissions is moving too slowly. The UK's target for carbon neutrality has been set for 2050, but this has been sup... Read More about Educating engineers to contribute to a regional goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2030.
