Años meteorológicos típicos y su influencia en la simulación energética de edificios en regiones con microclimas: el caso de Galicia
Couce-Casanova, Antonio (2022)[Resumen] En la presente tesis se ha estudiado la influencia del tipo de Año Meteorológico Típico (AMT) sobre los resultados de la simulación energética de edificios y otras instalaciones de aprovechamiento solar térmico. ... -
Creation of a Typical Meteorological Year in Spain: Step by Step Application of the Method Based on UNE-EN ISO-15927-4:2011
Couce-Casanova, Antonio; López-de-Ullibarri, Ignacio; Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios (DYNA, 2022-11)[Abstract]: Perceptible acceleration of the climate change process makes it necessary to update climate files, which are used, for example, for energy simulation of buildings. The process of preparing a climatic file ... -
Enhanced Performance of a Hydrokinetic Turbine Through a Biomimetic Design
Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Couce-Casanova, Antonio; Blanco Damota, Javier; Caccia, Claudio Giovanni; Rebollido Lorenzo, José Manuel; Telmo Miranda, Javier (MDPI, 2024-08-02)[Abstract] Hydrokinetic energy constitutes a source of renewable energy. However, many regions have flow velocities that are too low for effective energy extraction, and conventional turbines are not suitable for these ... -
Optimization of a nature-inspired shape for a vertical axis wind turbine through a numerical model and an artificial neural network
Blanco Damota, Javier; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Couce-Casanova, Antonio; Telmo Miranda, Javier; Caccia, Claudio Giovanni; Lamas, M.I. (MDPI, 2022-08-11)[Abstract] The present work proposes an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze vertical axis wind turbines of the Savonius type. These turbines are appropriate for low wind velocities due to their low starting torque. ... -
Proposal of a Nature-Inspired Shape for a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine and Comparison of Its Performance with a Semicircular Blade Profile
Blanco, Javier; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Couce-Casanova, Antonio; Lamas, M.I. (MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] In order to improve the efficiency of the Savonius type vertical axis wind turbine, the present work analyzes an improvement based on an innovative rotor geometry. The rotor blades are inspired on an organic ... -
Undulating Propulsion System Design
Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; González López, Primitivo B.; Couce-Casanova, Antonio; González-Filgueira, Gerardo (AEIPRO (Spanish Association of Project Engineering), 2010)[Abstract] Throughout history the practical implementation of propulsion mechanisms in the fluid environment based on the rotation has been easier to deal because of the state of the art in its time, and this has meant ... -
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines: Current Technologies and Future Trends
Damota, Javier; Lamas, M.I.; Couce-Casanova, Antonio; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios (2015-04)[Abstract] This paper, based on the pursuit of scientific articles published and recorded in the last five years (2010-2014) patents on VAWT technology, gives an image of the current situation of the treated ...
