A New Design Criterion to Improve the Intact Stability of Galician Small Fishing Vessels
Alvite-Castro, Jesús; Orosa, José A.; Vergara, Diego; Costa, Ángel M.; Bouzón, Rebeca (MDPI, 2020-07-07)[Abstract] The first technical factor involved in maritime accidents is related to the lack of intact stability. The current stability criterion, based on fixing a minimum value for each of the di erent static and dynamic ... -
A Novel Method Based on Neural Networks for Designing Internal Coverings in Buildings: Energy Saving and Thermal Comfort
Orosa, José A.; Vergara, Diego; Costa, Ángel M.; Bouzón, Rebeca (2019)[Abstract] Although several papers define energy saving and thermal comfort optimization with internal coverings materials, none of them deal with predictive models to improve design in building constructions. Thus, ... -
A Novel Method for nZEB Internal Coverings Design Based on Neural Networks
Orosa, José A.; Vergara, Diego; Costa, Ángel M.; Bouzón, Rebeca (2019)[Abstract] Research from the International Energy Agency about indoor ambiences and nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB) in the past has been centred on di erent aspects such as the prediction of indoor conditions as a ... -
Analysis and Comparison of Spatial–Temporal Entropy Variability of Tehran City Microclimate Based on Climate Change Scenarios
Orosa, José A.; Costa, Ángel M.; Ghanghermeh, Abdolazim; Roshan, Gholamreza (MDPI, 2019)[Abstract] Urban microclimate patterns can play a great role for the allocation and management of cooling and heating energy sources, urban design and architecture, and urban heat island control. Therefore, the present ... -
Eco-friendly Pressure Drop Dehumidifier: An Experimental and Numerical Analysis
Costa, Ángel M.; Bouzón, Rebeca; Vergara, Diego; Orosa, José A. (2019)[Abstract] The northwest of Spain is defined by very high relative humidity values, with an average relative humidity of 85% throughout the year, which is considered too high by most standards and therefore can be related ... -
Effect of climate change on outdoor termal comfort in humid climates
Orosa, José A.; Costa, Ángel M.; Rodríguez Fernández, Ángel; Roshan, Gholamreza (Springer, 2014)[Abstract] Background: Galicia, in northwest Spain, experiences warm summers and winters. However, the higher relative humidity that prevails the whole year through and the location of the summer hot points are related ... -
Fatigue due to on board work conditions in merchant vessels
Costa, Ángel M.; Bouzón, Rebeca; Orosa, José A.; Campa Portela, Rosa Mary de la (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Departament de Ciència i Enginyeria Nàutiques, 2020)[Abstract] Several publications point to the human error like the fundamental cause of the practical whole of the accidents. Inside these accidents, the fatigue has been identified like a recurrent cause, already was as ... -

New Climatic Indicators for Improving Urban Sprawl: A Case Study of Tehran City
Ghanghermeh, Abdolazim; Roshan, Gholamreza; Orosa, José A.; Calvo-Rolle, José Luis; Costa, Ángel M. (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013)In the modern world, the fine balance and delicate relationship between human society and the environment in which we exist has been affected by the phenomena of urbanisation and urban development. Today, various environmental ... -
New Tendencies in Wind Energy Operation and Maintenance
Costa, Ángel M.; Orosa, José A.; Vergara, Diego; Fernández-Arias, Pablo (MDPI, 2021)[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 ... -
The Influence of Climate Parameters on Maintenance of Wind Farms: A Galician Case Study
Orosa, José A.; Costa, Ángel M.; Vergara, Diego; Fraguela, Feliciano (MDPI, 2021)[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 ... -
Wind turbines design corrections for next Galicia climatic conditions
Orosa, José A.; Costa, Ángel M.; Roshan, Gholamreza; García-Bustelo, Enrique Juan (Sharif University of Technology, 2017)[Abstract] Galicia, placed in northwest of Spain, is a clear example of global wind energy development as a consequence of its climate conditions. Despite this fact, previous research works have indicated a climate change ...
