A New Fault Location Approach for Acoustic Emission Techniques in Wind Turbines
(2016-01-12)
The renewable energy industry is undergoing continuous improvement and development worldwide, wind energy being one of the most relevant renewable energies. This industry requires high levels of reliability, availability, ...
Railroad inspection based on ACFM employing a non-uniform B-spline approach
(ELSEVIER, 2013-05)
The stresses sustained by rails have increased in recent years due to the use of higher train speeds and heavier axle loads. For this reason surface and near-surface defects generate by Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) have ...
Artificial Intelligence for Concentrated Solar Plant Maintenance Management
(Springer Singapore, 2016-08-24)
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is an alternative to the conventional energy
sources which has had significant advances nowadays. A proper predictive
maintenance program for the absorber pipes is required to detect defects ...
Online Fault Detection in Solar Plants Using a Wireless Radiometer in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(Springer, 2017-06-29)
A novel Non-Destructive Test (NDT) is presented in this paper. It employs a radiometric sensor that measures the infrared emissivity of the solar panel surface embedded in an unmanned aerial vehicle. The measurements ...
Machine Learning and Neural Network for Maintenance Management
(Springer, 2017-06-29)
The paper presents a novel approach that allows to optimize the ultrasonic wave sensors for a condition monitoring system employing. It can detect and diagnosis different faults with a signal, such as delamination, mud or ...
