Introductory Chapter: An Overview to Maintenance Management
(IntechOpen, 2020)
The industry requires maintenance to ensure the correct operations of the
engines, components, structures, etc. Any failure, that is, termination of the
ability of an item to perform a required function, generates ...
Identification of critical components of wind turbines using FTA over time
(Elsevier, 2015-10-14)
Wind energy is currently the most widely implemented renewable energy source in global scale. Complex industrial multi-MW wind turbines are continuously being installed both onshore and offshore. Projects involving ...
Fuzzy Logic Applied to SCADA Systems
(Springer, 2017-06-29)
This article focuses on the monitoring of a wind farm in real time based on big data collected by Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The decision-
making of the type of maintenance to be applied can ...
Structural Health Monitoring for Delamination Detection and 1 Location in Wind Turbine Blades employing Guided Waves
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-02-20)
Wind power is becoming one of the most important renewable energies in the world. The reduction in operating and maintenance costs of the wind turbines has been identified as one of the biggest challenges to establish ...
Analysis and Comparison of Macro Fiber Composites and Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) Discs for an Energy Harvesting Floor
(MDPI, 2020-08)
The main drawback in many electronic devices is the duration of their batteries. Energy harvesting provides a solution for these low-consumption devices. Piezoelectric energy harvesting use is growing because it collects ...
Techno-Economical Advances for Maintenance Management of Concentrated Solar Power Plants
(2016-08-24)
Concentrated solar power (CSP) capacity has experimented a high grow- ing worldwide. Nowadays, CSP industry is focus on decrease the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs and to set the adequate non-destructive testing ...
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 ...
Bulk wheat transportation and storage problem of Public Distribution System
(Elsevier, 2017)
This research investigates the multi period multi modal bulk wheat transportation and storage problem in a two stage supply chain network of Public Distribution System (PDS). The bulk transportation and storage can ...
Impact of Demand Nature on the Bullwhip Effect. Bridging the Gap between Theoretical and Empirical Research
(Springer, 2013-09-24)
The bullwhip effect (BE) consists of the demand variability amplification that exists in a supply chain when moving upwards. This undesirable effect produces excess inventory and poor customer service. Recently, several ...
Methods and Tools for the Operational Reliability Optimisation of Large-Scale Industrial Wind Turbines
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015-05-21)
Wind turbines (WT) maintenance management is in continuous development to improve the reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) of WTs, and to achieve time and cost reductions. The optimisation of the ...
