New Tendencies in Wind Energy Operation and Maintenance
(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 ...
Wind turbines design corrections for next Galicia climatic conditions
(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 ...
Eco-friendly Pressure Drop Dehumidifier: An Experimental and Numerical Analysis
(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 ...
New Climatic Indicators for Improving Urban Sprawl: A Case Study of Tehran City
(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 ...
A New Design Criterion to Improve the Intact Stability of Galician Small Fishing Vessels
(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 ...
The Influence of Climate Parameters on Maintenance of Wind Farms: A Galician Case Study
(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 ...
Effect of climate change on outdoor termal comfort in humid climates
(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 ...
Analysis and Comparison of Spatial–Temporal Entropy Variability of Tehran City Microclimate Based on Climate Change Scenarios
(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 ...
Fatigue due to on board work conditions in merchant vessels
(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 ...
