Framework for Development of an Economic Analysis Tool for Floating Concrete Offshore Wind Platforms
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] The objective of this work is to establish a framework for the development of an economic analysis tool for floating offshore wind platforms built in concrete. The operation and usefulness of the beta version ...
Analysis of Contracts to Build Energy Infrastructures to Optimize the OPEX
(MDPI, 2020-09-03)
[Abstract] The employer (owner) of the project wants to obtain the maximum profit for the money invested and the consultant (contractor) will try to give less for that money. The regulation of their relationship is based ...
An Economic Analysis of An Innovative Floating Offshore Wind Platform Built with Concrete: The SATH® Platform
(MDPI, 2020-05)
[Abstract] The goal of this work is to carry out an economic analysis of a novel floating offshore wind structure, of which the main material is concrete: the SATH® platform. It takes a step forward in floating marine wind ...
Study of the sustainability of electrical power systems: analysis of the causes that generate reactive power
(MDPI AG, 2019-12-16)
[Abstract] Reactive power is an important parameter in electrical power systems since it affects the efficiency of the system because it is not useful energy. It decreases the power factor of the system and limits the ...
Evaluation of Hardness, Sliding Wear and Strength of a Hypoeutectic White Iron with 25%Cr after Heat Treatments
(MDPI, 2021-06)
[Abstract] Hypoeutectic white cast irons with a high chrome content are commonly used in the industrial mining sector where there is a demand for both high resistance to adhesive wear and an acceptable toughness for the ...
Analysis of the Real Energy Consumption of Energy Saving Lamps
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Light emitting diode (LED) and compact fluorescent light (CFL) lamps are widely used because they are associated with low energy consumption and a reduced environmental impact. In the present paper, a study of ...
Fatigue Study of the Pre-Corroded 6082-T6 Aluminum Alloy in Saline Atmosphere
(MDPI, 2020-09)
[Abstract] This work studies the influence of the saline atmospheric corrosion on the fatigue strength of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. For this purpose, this alloy was subjected to tests in a salt spray corrosion chamber at ...
Assessment of the Materials Employed in Green Artificial Reefs for the Galician Estuaries in Terms of Circular Economy
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] To exploit marine resources in a sustainable way, efficient management systems must be used such as green artificial reefs (GARs). These reefs are mostly made up of renewable and organic materials. When adopting ...
Improvement of Impact Toughness and Abrasion Resistance of a 3C-25Cr-0.5Mo Alloy Using a Design of Experiment Statistical Technique: Microstructural Correlations after Heat Treatments
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Hypoeutectic high chromium white cast irons are commonly used in the mining and cement industries, where high resistance to abrasive wear is demanded. Through the application of a Design of Experiment technique ...
Economic Feasibility of Floating Offshore Wind Farms Considering Near Future Wind Resources: Case Study of Iberian Coast and Bay of Biscay
(MDPI, 2021-03)
[Abstract] Wind energy resources are subject to changes in climate, so the use of wind energy density projections in the near future is essential to determine the viability and profitability of wind farms at particular ...
