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 ... -
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 ... -
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Consumption of Coastal Ecosystem Enhancement Programme through Sustainable Artificial Reefs in Galicia
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] The principle of sustainability should condition a project in which artificial reefs are being installed to protect biodiversity as well as enhance costal ecosystems. In particular, this principle should be taken ... -
How Important Are Ports for the Offshore Wind Industry?: The Case of Spain
(European Association for the Development of Renewable Energies, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ), 2021-09)[Abstract] Offshore wind is becoming a new technology to develop a better sustainable world. Its progress is linked to the use of port facilities, where the offshore wind farms can be stored or pre-installed. The aim of ... -
Importance of the fluctuations of the steel price in the economic feasibility of a hybrid offshore platform in the West of the Iberian Peninsula
(UK Zhende Publishing Limited, European Association for the Development of Renewable Energies, Environment and Power Quality, 2022-09)[Abstract]: Marine renewable energies are being implemented as basic energy sources of the Spanish energy system for various reasons, the first because the planet Earth is made up of 70% water, which makes marine resources ... -
