Slattery, Darina M.; Ledwith, Ann; Hyland, Pádraig
(OpenEducationEuropa, 2017)
On-campus institutions are increasingly moving towards blended modes of delivery. In
some cases, these blended programmes supplement existing offerings; in other cases, they replace them entirely. Regardless of the reasons ...
-
Kiernan, Louise; Ledwith, Ann; Lynch, Raymond
(Springer, 2019)
Design education has moved towards a collaborative practice where designers work in teams and with other disciplines to solve unstructured problems. Along with the cognitive skills involved in the execution of the design ...

Burke, Niamh; Zacharski, Krzysztof A.; Adley, Catherine C.; Southern, Mark
(Elsevier, 2020)
Dairy quality strategies start at the beginning of a raw milk supply chain at farm level,
but it is the obligation of the manufacturer at a dairy processing plant to ensure quality
is upheld from intake to finished ...

Coleman, Joseph; Ahmad, Hammad; Toal, Daniel
(Wiley and Sons, 2016)
This paper presents the design and testing of a control system for the robotic flight of tethered kites. The use of
tethered kites as a prime mover in airborne wind energy is undergoing active research in several quarters. ...
-
Capocci, Romano; Omerdić, Edin; Dooly, Gerard; Toal, Daniel
(Springer, 2018)
This paper presents novel aspects of a Remotely Operated Vehicle
(ROV) designed to inspect offshore renewable energy devices. The relationship
of some design aspects of the ROV to resilient systems is discussed, focusing
on ...
-
Nolan, Seán Patrick
(University of Limerick, 2003)
The goal of this research project is the design and construction of a submersible robot platform for underwater systems testing and AUV controller experimentation. Requirements of the robot platform are that it should ...
-
Pican, Emmanuel
(University of Limerick, 2011)
In distributed energy systems, permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) are
often connected to the grid via power converters, such as voltage source converters
(VSC). The price of the converter constitutes a large ...
-
Salari, Mahdi Ebrahimi
(University of Limerick, 2018)
This thesis explores application of the Direct Interconnection Technique (DIT) to Marine
Renewable Energy (MRE) devices specifically Airborne Wind Energy (AWE).
Interconnecting offshore generators and delivering generated ...

Coleman, Joseph
(University of Limerick, 2014)
The robotic control of tethered parafoils enables a number of exciting applications,
primarily a novel approach to wind energy generation. The airborne wind energy
(AWE) paradigm aims to reduce greatly the mass and cost ...
