    Parameters estimation of a steady-state wind farm wake model implemented in OpenFAST

    Full text link
    Wake models play a fundamental role in predicting loads and power generated by wind farms. Using them, it is possible to assess how wakes develop and interact with each other and what are the effects generated in the context of a real operating farm. In this paper, a Gaussian Wake Model implemented in OpenFAST is validated against experimental data gathered in wind tunnel GVPM @ Politecnico di Milano in the context of the European CL-Windcon project. The software used to reproduce the mechanical dynamics of the G1 wind turbines is OpenFAST. It is coupled with FLORIS, a NREL’s software based on the Gaussian Wake Model, that allows to simulate the wake and partial wake conditions. The rotor aerodynamics is calculated using the BEMT on the actual rotor flow field. However, to properly use OpenFAST and the coupled GWM, eight parameters have to be estimated. Thus, a Least Squares Minimization procedure is performed using the available experimental data

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
