An investigation of domestic wastewater treatment systems impacts on surface waters and applicability of wastewater fingerprinting compounds
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2018)This research estimated the P and N loading to surface water arising from domestic wastewater treatment systems (DWWTS) and compared a range of wastewater fingerprinting techniques for identifying sources of surface water ... -
Optimal Real-Time Predictive Control for Maximising the Power-Take-Off Efficiency of the WaveRAM Wave Energy Converter
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2018)The aim of this thesis is to develop a control strategy for optimising the power-take-off (PTO) efficiency of the newly developed WaveRAM (WRAM) wave energy converter. The three main research streams established to satisfy ... -
