Pitch Angle Misalignment Correction Based on Benchmarking and Laser Scanner Measurement in Wind Farms
(MDPI, 2018-12-01)
In addition to human error, manufacturing tolerances for blades and hubs cause pitch angle misalignment in wind turbines. As a consequence, a significant number of turbines used by existing wind farms experience power ...
Evaluating Equity and Inclusion in Access toWater and Sanitation for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS in Wukro, Ethiopia
(MDPI, 2018-09)
For more than a decade, foreign aid-supported water interventions focusing on an increase in household private connections have been implemented in the small urban center of Wukro. However, little has been investigated ...
Catalyst Deactivation And Regeneration Processes In Biogas Tri-Reforming Process. The Effect Of Hydrogen Sulfide Addition
(MDPI AG, 2018-01-09)
This work studies Ni-based catalyst deactivation and regeneration processes in the presence of H2S under a biogas tri-reforming process for hydrogen production, which is an energy vector of great interest. 25 ppm of hydrogen ...
Historical Evolution of theWave Resource and Energy Production off the Chilean Coast over the 20th Century
(MDPI, 2018-09)
The wave energy resource in the Chilean coast shows particularly profitable characteristics for wave energy production, with relatively high mean wave power and low inter-annual resource variability. This combination is ...
MIDAS: A Benchmarking Multi-Criteria Method for the Identification of Defective Anemometers in Wind Farms
(MDPI, 2018-12-22)
A novel multi-criteria methodology for the identification of defective anemometers is shown in this paper with a benchmarking approach: it is called MIDAS: multi-technique identification of defective anemometers. The ...
Experimental and Numerical Modeling of Aerosol Delivery for Preterm Infants
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) represents one of the major causes of mortality among preterm infants, and the best approach to treat it is an open research issue. The use of perfluorocarbons (PFC) along with non-invasive ...
Aerosol Delivery by Inhalation Catheter and Trachea Digitalization
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2018)
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is related with high mortality and morbidity in preterm infants and the best approach to treat it is an open research field. The use of perfluorocarbons (PFC) together with ...
Computational Modeling of Gurney Flaps and Microtabs by POD Method
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Gurney flaps (GFs) and microtabs (MTs) are two of the most frequently used passive flow control devices on wind turbines. They are small tabs situated close to the airfoil trailing edge and normal to the surface. A study ...
Electricity production, capacity factor, and plant efficiency index at the Mutriku wave farm (2014–2016)
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)
Mutriku has recently become the first commercial wave farm to release its operating data. The plant has 14 OWC operating turbines, and this study has conducted an analysis of hourly data corresponding to the 2014–2016 ...
Computational Modelling of Rectangular Sub-Boundary Layer Vortex Generators
(MDPI, 2018-01-19)
Vortex generators (VGs) are increasingly used in the wind turbine manufacture industry as flow control devices to improve rotor blade aerodynamic performance. Nevertheless, VGs may produce excess residual drag in some ...
