• Guideline for the connection of small-scale inverter based distributed generation: an introduction and summary 

  Miller AJV; Strahan R; Mcnab S; Crownshaw T; Pandey S; Watson NR; Lemon SM; Wood AR (2016)

  Small-scale distributed generation (DG) in New Zealand, particularly photovoltaic (PV) generation, has been growing steadily over the past few years. In the last year alone to 31 March 2016, installed PV generation of ...

• Finite Element Modelling of Post-Tensioned Timber Beams under Fire Conditions 

  Quiquero H; Gales J; Abu A; Moss P (2018)

  In order to implement innovative timber structures globally, performance-based design using numerical models are often required. A model was developed to simulate post-tensioned (PT) timber beams in FEM software ABAQUS ...
