Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enclosing either hydrophobic or hydrophilic substances in silica-based micro- and nanocapsules via emulsion techniques. More specifically, it relates to a method for the preparation of 0.01-100 ?m, particularly 0.01-10 ?m, silica-based microcapsules containing up to 99% (w/w) payload using a silica precursor polymer, polyalkoxysiloxane (PAOS), preferentially polyalkylalkoxysiloxane (R-PAOS), which acts not only as a silica source but also an emulsifier. In order to obtain mechanically stable capsules, the conversion of PAOS or R-PAOS is accompanied with the solidification of the organic phase. For the encapsulation of hydrophobic substances, oil-in-water emulsions are formed. The formation of water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions is required to encapsulate hydrophilic compounds.

Abstract: To efficiently nm a wind turbine in varying wind speeds, the wind turbine may be configured to switch between two different electrical configurations that offer different efficiencies depending on wind speed. For example, a star configuration may be preferred during low wind speeds while a delta configuration is preferred for high wind speeds. Before switching, the power output by the turbine's generator may be driven to zero. Doing so, however, removes load from the rotor blades which cause the rotor speed to increase. Instead, the rotor speed may be controlled such that the speed stays at or above the speed of the rotor immediately before the generator power is ramped down. Maintaining rotor speed at or slightly above the current speed while switching between electrical configurations may mitigate the torque change experienced by the turbine and reduce the likelihood of structural failure.

Abstract: A method and associated control arrangement are disclosed for controlling a de-rated power output of a wind turbine generator, where the wind turbine generator is associated with a predetermined power ramp rate upper limit and operating with a de-rated rotor speed. The method includes ramping the power output from an initial power level to a target power level during a ramping interval. During a first portion of the ramping interval, the power output is ramped at a first power ramp rate less than the power ramp rate upper limit. The method further includes ramping the rotor speed to a predetermined rotor speed value contemporaneously with ramping the power output during the first portion of the ramping interval. The first power ramp rate is determined such that a difference between the power output and the target power level is monotonically decreasing during the entirety of the ramping interval.
