A Context-Aware Oil Debris-Based Health Indicator for Wind Turbine Gearbox Condition Monitoring
(MDPI, 2019-09-02)
One of the greatest challenges of optimising the correct operation of wind turbines is detecting the health status of their core components, such as gearboxes in particular. Gearbox monitoring is a widely studied topic in ...
Calibration of Reanalysis Data against Wind Measurements for Energy Production Estimation of Building Integrated Savonius-Type Wind Turbine
(MDPI, 2020-12-17)
In this work, a cost-effective wind resource method specifically developed for the ROSEO-BIWT (Building Integrated Wind Turbine) and other Building Integrated Wind Turbines is presented. It predicts the wind speed and ...
Pitch Angle Misalignment Correction Based on Benchmarking and Laser Scanner Measurement in Wind Farms
(MDPI, 2018-12-01)
In addition to human error, manufacturing tolerances for blades and hubs cause pitch angle misalignment in wind turbines. As a consequence, a significant number of turbines used by existing wind farms experience power ...
Historical Evolution of theWave Resource and Energy Production off the Chilean Coast over the 20th Century
(MDPI, 2018-09)
The wave energy resource in the Chilean coast shows particularly profitable characteristics for wave energy production, with relatively high mean wave power and low inter-annual resource variability. This combination is ...
MIDAS: A Benchmarking Multi-Criteria Method for the Identification of Defective Anemometers in Wind Farms
(MDPI, 2018-12-22)
A novel multi-criteria methodology for the identification of defective anemometers is shown in this paper with a benchmarking approach: it is called MIDAS: multi-technique identification of defective anemometers. The ...
Electricity production, capacity factor, and plant efficiency index at the Mutriku wave farm (2014–2016)
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)
Mutriku has recently become the first commercial wave farm to release its operating data. The plant has 14 OWC operating turbines, and this study has conducted an analysis of hourly data corresponding to the 2014–2016 ...
Using 3DVAR data assimilation to measure offshore wind energy potential at different turbine heights in the West Mediterranean
(Elsevier, 2017-09-19)
In this article, offshore wind energy potential is measured around the Iberian Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands using the WRF meteorological model without 3DVAR data assimilation (the N simulation) and with ...
