Optimization of wind energy conversion system control methods for the improvement of their efficiency
No full textAim of the thesis was the introduction of a control method for wind energy conversion system which achieve maximum power production to the utility grid. The proposed control system achieves operation at the maximum power point of the wind turbine and it simultaneously reduces the electrical generator losses, such as power production is maximized. Moreover, a method for the alignment of the nacelle of the wind turbine with the direction of the incident wind has been developed, that achieve fast and accurate tracking of the wind direction. The operation of the control system has been validated through simulations and on experimental wind energy conversion system installations.Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η ανάπτυξη μιας μεθόδου ελέγχου για αιολικά συστήματα, η οποία θα επιτυγχάνει μεγιστοποίηση της παρεχόμενης ισχύος προς το ηλεκτρικό δίκτυο. Το σύστημα ελέγχου που αναπτύχθηκε επιτυγχάνει λειτουργία του ανεμοκινητήρα στην ταχύτητα μέγιστης ισχύος και παράλληλα μειώνει τις απώλειες της ηλεκτρογεννήτριας, ούτως ώστε να μεγιστοποιείται η παραγόμενη ισχύς. Ταυτόχρονα, αναπτύχθηκε μια μέθοδος ευθυγράμμισης της ατράκτου της ανεμογεννήτριας με την διεύθυνση του ανέμου, η οποία επιτυγχάνει γρήγορο και ακριβή εντοπισμό της διεύθυνσης του ανέμου. Η λειτουργία του συστήματος ελέγχθηκε τόσο σε επίπεδο προσομοίωσης όσο και σε πειραματικό αιολικό σύστημα
Peak power reduction algorithms in asymmetric digital subscriber line modems
No full textThesis (M.Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2000.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 94-96).This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.This thesis investigates peak-to-average ratio (PAR) reduction techniques for multicarrier modulation systems, such as discrete multitone (DMT) modems and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) terrestrial broadcast transmitters. Through simulation and test implementation on a state-of-the-art programmable ADSL development platform, this thesis pursues a suitable solution for minimizing PAR given the resources of a programmable platform. This solution is integrated as a prototype implementation into a fully-functional ADSL modem and optimized for maximum PAR reduction performance within modem complexity constraints.by Athanasios Dimitri Dousis.M.Eng

ABSTRACT: The decision of the ECtHR of 31.08.2023, Amvrosios-Athanasios Lenis v. Greece (no. 47833/20), is a further step toward an increasingly dense jurisprudence on “hate speech” and the limits of freedom of expression. The public proclamation of religious doctrines that are in conflict with the values of the contracting States enshrined in the ECHR is protected to a certain extent by the fundamental right of freedom of religion and belief. However, the qualification of a statement as religious does not justify “hate speech.” The AUTHOR shows the tension between freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and protection against discrimination, and analyzes the decision against the backdrop of Article 17 of the ECHR (prohibition of abuse of rights).

La tomba III di Haghios Athanasios e il valore semantico dell'incarnato
No full textThe tomb III at Haghios Athanasios stands out among the Macedonian tombs for the exceptional painted decoration of the temple-like façade. Excavated in the '90s by M. Tsimbidou-Avloniti it has been published by the scholar in full detail and the iconographic program of the monument has been the object of many publications. This article re-examines the different ways of reproducing the skin color (το ανδρείκελον) in the figures of the miniature frieze and in the megalographic figures beside the door. The realistic rendering of the megalographic figures of armed men in Macedonian attire, showing their sorrow for the lost of an etairos, is contrasting with the pale color of the participants to the symposion in the frieze above the door, a scene whose illusionistic overtone has been yet perceived by the critics. This symposion is articulated in three scenes and it can be interpeted as a necrodeipnon, but in the same time as a celebration of the Macedonian banquet style, centered on the royal court. The author suggests that the first figure on the right of the frieze, related to the group of armed men looking towards the banqueters feasting in the center of the frieze, can be read as the dead himself, for the particular rendering of his ανδρείκελον, showing the typical ochròtes or necròdes face color, according to the contemporary medical lexicon. The pathetic stance assumed by the same figure, the sole in the group which is not bearing arms, seems to confirm his role in the context of the scene

No full textAsphaltic mixtures are heterogeneous composite materials consisting of aggregates coated and bound by asphalt binder. The long term performance of asphaltic pavements is highly dependent on the mechanical behaviour of the asphaltic mixture during construction (mixing and compaction) and operation; inadequate mixture compaction leads to faster moisture and oxygen diffusion, ravelling, rutting and poor fatigue life
