Abstract The Moon and Mercury are airless bodies, thus they are directly exposed to the
ambient plasma (ions and electrons), to photons mostly from the Sun from infrared range all …

Indonesia has considerable wind and solar energy potential, especially on onshore areas.
However the wind and solar energy utilization is still low due to the high investment costs …

Contamination and erosion at the leading edge of blade tips adversely affect the annual
energy production (AEP) of wind turbines. Obtaining pertinent quantitative data would help …

Several studies have established the abundance of the wind resources in South Africa,
which can position the country as a leader in wind power generation continentally if the …

Ceramic and tile industries should indispensably include a grading stage to quantify the
quality of products. Actually, human control systems are often used for grading purposes. An …

A fleet of vessels and helicopters is needed to support maintenance operations at offshore
wind farms. The cost of this fleet constitutes a major part of the total maintenance costs …

This article presents the long term wind speed and power output of a 40 kW wind turbine
based on a layer recurrent neural network as the predictor. The forecast model utilized the …

Among renewable energy sources, the electrical generation from micro-wind turbines has
