The efficacy of the energy management systems at dealing with energy consumption in buildings has been a topic with a growing interest in recent years due to the ever-increasing global energy demand and the large percentage ...
La tesis aborda el análisis transitorio de modelos Markovianos de sistemas tolerantes a fallos con reparación diferida. Se consideran dos medidas definidas sobre cadenas de Markov a tiempo continuo con tasas de recompensa ...
Monitoring and regular performance analysis of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic (GCPV) systems are of primal importance in order to ensure an optimal energy harvesting and reliable power production at competitive costs. Main ...
This thesis deals with the further development of an existing underwater vehicle for autonomous navigation. The vehicle was conceived to navigate over the sea surface and, at certain fixed points, to dive vertically in ...
Electromechanical drives have traditionally found their field of application in the industrial sector. However, the use of such systems is spreading to other sectors within the field of transport, such as the automotive ...
Nowadays, energy management has gained attention due to the constant increment of energy consumption in industry and the pollution problems that this fact supposes. On this subject, one of the main industrial sectors, the ...
(English) In recent years, there has been significant attention from both the academic and industry sectors towards condition-based maintenance of rotating systems. This attention stems from the high relevance of these ...
Powering wireless sensors has become a key challenge to enable the Internet of Things vision. A common approach to achieve this is to use Energy Harvesting. By means of this technology, sensors have access to an unlimited ...
Condition Based Maintenance is a program that recommends actions based on the information collected and interpreted through condition monitoring and has become accepted since a decade ago by the industry as a key factor ...
(English) Nowadays, distributed energy resources are widely used to supply demand in micro grids especially in green buildings. These resources are usually connected by using power electronic converters, which act as ...
Nowadays, it would be very difficult to deny the need to prioritize sustainable development through energy efficiency at all consumption levels. In this context, an energy management system (EMS) is a suitable option for ...
There has always been background sound in the oceans due to natural factors. However, since the first hydrophone deployments at mid-20th century, measured ocean sound levels have been steadily rising due to an increment ...
In this work, a new method is presented to quantify the attention paid by people to the different objects in their environment. The new metric models the eye to determine the attention given and quantifies that attention ...
This thesis deals with the automatic detection of features in signals, either extracted from photographs or captured by means of electronic sensors, and its possible application in the detection of morphological structures ...
This dissertation describes a novel unconventional self-adaptive hardware architecture with capacity for parallel processing. For scalability issues, this bioinspired architecture is based on a regular array of homogeneous ...
In the Electromagnetic Compatibility research area, an unsolved interference problem is the measurement and evaluation of the distortion produced by radiated transient disturbances on digital communication systems. This ...
