• Development of a free heaving OWC model with non-linear PTO interaction 

  O'Connell, Ken; Thiebaut, Florent; Kelly, Ger; Cashman, Andrew (Elsevier B.V., 2017-10-12)

  This paper presents the development of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model for a free heaving Oscillating Water Column (OWC) spar buoy with non-linear Power Take Off (PTO). Firstly, a freely heaving barge was applied ...
• Participative environmental policy integration in the Irish energy sector 

  Mullally, Gerard; Dunphy, Niall; O'Connor, Paul (Elsevier, 2018-02-24)

  This article explores the implications of participation for Environmental Policy Integration (EPI), through the window of Irish energy policy, employing concepts of ‘energy democracy’ and ‘energy citizenship’. Our analysis ...
• Life cycle assessment of seaweed biomethane, generated from seaweed sourced from integrated multi-trophic aquaculture in temperate oceanic climates 

  Czyrnek-Delêtre, Magdalena M.; Rocca, Stefania; Agostini, Alessandro; Giuntoli, Jacopo; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier Ltd., 2017-04-05)

  Biomethane produced from seaweed is a third generation renewable gaseous fuel. The advantage of seaweed for biofuel is that it does not compete directly or indirectly for land with food, feed or fibre production. Furthermore, ...
• The invasive duckweed Lemna minuta Kunth displays a different light utilisation strategy than native Lemna minor Linnaeus 

  Paolacci, Simona; Harrison, Simon; Jansen, Marcel A. K. (Elsevier, 2018-01-31)

  Lemna minuta Kunth is an invasive, alien duckweed that is present throughout much of Europe, where it competes with native congeneric Lemna minor Linnaeus. Previously, L. minuta was found to grow faster than L. minor. The ...
• Artificial neural network–genetic algorithm-based optimization of biodiesel production from Simarouba glauca 

  Sivamani, Selvaraju; Selvakumar, Selvaraj; Rajendran, Karthik; Muthusamy, Shanmugaprakash (Taylor & Francis, 2018-02-13)

  A transesterification reaction was carried out employing an oil of paradise kernel (Simarouba glauca), a non-edible source for producing Simarouba glauca methyl ester (SGME) or biodiesel. In this study, the effects of three ...
