RISStochastic Fatigue Assessment for Berthing Monopiles in Inland Waterways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As an unsupported structure, a berthing monopile is often expected to work under harsh conditions. Approaching vessels may introduce considerable berthing energy, resulting in substantial tensile stress on the pile. This ...
Potential of Utilizing Thermal Energy Storage Integrated Ground Source Heat Pump System to Reshape Electricity Demand in the United States
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Each year, more than 20% of electricity generated in the United States is consumed for meeting the thermal demands (e.g., space cooling, space heating, and water heating) in residential and commercial buildings. Integrating ...
Recent Developments in the Design of Vertical Borehole Ground Heat Exchangers for Cost Reduction and Thermal Energy Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ground source (geothermal) heat pumps (GSHPs) can meet the thermal demands of buildings in an energy-efficient manner. The current high installation costs and long payback period limit the attractiveness of GSHP installation ...
