Stabilizing Hydro Power for the Electrical Grid
August 31, 2017
Hydro-power is often associated with conservative and perhaps stagnant technology development. But, because it has been around for hundreds of years and many countries rely on the output of power, the maintenance and continued support of these plants is critical. Currently, in Iceland 70% of their electricity is produced from hydroelectric power, therefore constant operation […]
Validating Fuel Cell Efficiencies
August 15, 2017
In the last decade, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have seen an up-tick in popularity and practicality as OEMs and economies work to reach regional and global environmental goals. The automotive industry stands to gain the most from these technologies as PEMFC offer benefits that include: low emissions, in comparison to the archaic internal […]
Model-Based Systems Engineering for Aircraft Engines
June 27, 2017
Modelon’s Jet Propulsion Library provides the foundation for modeling and simulating jet engines along with the integrated model-based systems engineering of aircraft systems. Why start optimizing The prime mover of an aircraft, the jet engine, is one of the most important subsystems of an aircraft. Jet engines provide primary power (thrust) and secondary power (to […]
Architecture Based Vehicle Modeling
May 23, 2017
Reviewing Architecture-Based Approaches for Vehicle Modeling All Modelon libraries are developed to adhere to the open-standard, Modelica language. We, at Modelon, thrive in this language standard for many reasons and fully leverage it in the use of templates and model architectures to rapidly create models and model variants. Modelon’s Vehicle Dynamics Library utilizes this template-based […]
