Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and Field of View in Underwater Operations
(MDPI, 2021-03-04)
Submarine inspections and surveys require underwater vehicles to operate in deep waters
efficiently, safely and reliably. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles employing advanced navigation
and control systems present several ...
Wind turbine reliability analysis
(Elsevier, 2013-03)
Against the background of steadily increasing wind power generation worldwide, wind turbine manufacturers are continuing to develop a range of configurations with different combinations of pitch control, rotor speeds, ...
Maintenance management of wind turbines structures via MFCs and wavelet transforms
(Elsevier, 2015-08)
This paper introduces a novel Fault Detection and Diagnosis method based on the wavelet transform to detect defects on the tower of a wind turbine. 24 Macro-Fiber Composite transducers have been placed to send and collect ...
A Condition Monitoring System for Blades of Wind Turbine Maintenance Management
(Springer Singapore, 2016-08-24)
Wind energy is one of the most competitive and efficient renewable energy. It requires an efficient management system to reduce costs, predict failures and increase the production. The main objective of this paper is to ...
Machine Learning for Wind Turbine Blades Maintenance Management
(MDPI, 2017)
Delamination in Wind Turbine Blades (WTB) is a common structural problem that can generate large costs. Delamination is the separation of layers of a composite material, which produces points of stress concentration. These ...
Remotely Piloted Aircraft System and Engineering Management: A Real Case Study
(Springer, 2018)
Photovoltaic energy is one of the most relevant renewable energy due to its fast growth in the last years. The sizes of the solar panels and the solar power plants are also increasing. Therefore, the modern solar plants ...
Improving the Efficiency on Decision Making Process via BDD
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015-05-21)
For a qualitatively and quantitatively analysis of a complex Decision Mak- ing (DM) process is critical to employ a correct method due to the large number of operations required. This paper presents an approach employing ...
Desarrollo de nuevos algoritmos aplicados al mantenimiento predictivo óptimo centrado en la fiabilidad y la monitorización remota basada en la condición (RCM2)
(Ediciones de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 2004)
Desde el origen de la política común del transporte ferroviario hasta nuestros días, dicho sector ha sufrido numerosos cambios y mejoras en todos los campos, como son el legislativo, técnico, etc. Actualmente, con la ...
Evaluating the challenges associated with the long-term reliable operation of industrial wind turbine gearboxes
(IOP Publishing, 2018-12)
Wind turbine gearboxes are required to operate under adverse operational conditions over a long service lifetime. Unfortunately, gearbox designers are yet to achieve the reliability
anticipated by wind turbine manufacturers ...
New methods for the condition monitoring of level crossings
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-05-13)
Level crossings represent a high risk for railway systems. This paper demonstrates the potential to improve maintenancemanagement through the use of intelligent condition monitoring coupled with reliability centred maintenance ...
