Abstract: Fundamental differences between the optimization strategies for power cycles used in “traditional” and solar-thermal power plants are identified using principles of finite-time thermodynamics. Optimal ...

Abstract: We describe a framework for the verification of Bayesian model calibration routines. The framework is based on linear regression and can be configured to verify calibration to data with a range of observation error ...

Abstract: Model calibration is a critical step in many fields to ensure that decisions are made based on models that best capture the behavior of the physical system. Typically, an estimation of the uncertainty of the model is also ...
