[Abstract] At present, LNG vessels without reliquefaction plants consume the BOG (boil-off gas) in their engines and the excess is burned in the gas combustion unit without recovering any of its energy content. Excess BOG ...

[Abstract] In view of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime sector, this paper proposes design and operation indicators for the assessment of Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) energy ...

[Abstract] Both the reduction in operating and maintenance (O&M) costs and improved reliability have become top priorities in wind turbine maintenance strategies. O&M costs typically account for 20% to 25% of the total ...

[Abstract] Different methods to achieve zero-energy and low carbon on the scale of a building are shown by most of the research works. Despite this, the recommendations generally offered by researchers do not always ...

[Abstract] It is a well-known fact that humans are subject to circadian alterations caused by the action of sunlight. This strongly affects their behaviour and skill, making them change their level of alertness from high ...

[Abstract] There are different monitoring procedures in wind farms with two main objectives: (i) to improve energy production by the capability of the national electrical network and (ii) to reduce the stooped hours due ...

[Abstract] Flaring gas is the action of burning waste crude natural gas that is not possible to process or sell during the extraction and processing of oil and gas extraction. However, the surge of the oil and gas (O&G) ...

[Abstract] Shipmasters must make several quick decisions with respect to the ship’s speed and heading when new sea conditions approach. The implications for ship stability and risky situations are known but there are no ...

[Abstract] The prediction of global solar radiation in a region is of great importance as it provides investors and politicians with more detailed knowledge about the solar resource of that region, which can be very ...

[Abstract] Abstract With the ultimate goal of developing models that involve the use of environmental variables, a GIS-based application is being developed that is circumscribed to the region of Galicia (Spain). Ten-minute ...
