The effective exploitation of renewable energy sources is one of the most effective solutions to counter the energy, environmental and economic problems associated with the use of fossil fuels. Small-scale wind turbines (converting wind energy into e...
Liquid fossil fuel is anticipated to run out by the mid-2060s. The destruction of land, water, and air due to fossil fuel use contributes to environmental degradation. Policymakers, scientists, and researchers are looking into power generation from r...
Small-scale wind turbines play an important role in distributed generation since customers can use their houses, farms, and business to produce electric energy. The development of the power electronics system that processes the electric energy from s...
This study addresses the challenges inherent in the maintenance and inspection of wind turbines through the application of deep learning methodologies for fault detection on Wind Turbine Blades (WTBs). Specifically, this research focuses on defect de...
This paper provides three different research contributions applied to a Wind Turbine patented in 1606 by the inventor Jerónimo de Ayanz y Beaumont. The windmill under study is the Ayanz Wind Turbine with screw blades. The first contribution co...
The application of computer vision in conjunction with GPS is essential for autonomous wind turbine inspection, particularly when the drone navigates through a wind farm to detect the turbine of interest. Although drones for such inspections use GPS,...
There has been constant growth in the wind energy market. A study conducted in January 2018 by Global Market Insights Inc. predicted that the global wind energy market will surpass USD 170 billion by 2024. Before installation of a wind turbine, wind...
The pitch bearings of wind turbines are slowly oscillating, grease-lubricated slewing bearings. They facilitate the pitching movements of blades which control aerodynamic loads. These bearings have diameters of several meters, their blade-side sealin...
The synergetic control technique (SCT) has the solution for understanding the symmetry inherent in the non-linear properties of wind turbines (WTs); therefore, they achieve excellent performance and enhance the operation of the WT. Small-scale WTs ar...
A novel methodology for hybrid energy management in aquaculture is introduced, aimed at enhancing self-sufficiency and optimizing grid-related cash flows. Wind and solar energy generation are modeled using calibrated turbine performance curves and PV...
