      Campos-Mercado, Eduardo; Mendoza-Santos, Edwin Fernando; Torres-Muñoz, Jorge Antonio; Román-Hernández, Edwin; Moreno-Oliva, Víctor Iván; Hernández-Escobedo, Quetzalcoatl; Perea Moreno, Alberto Jesús (MDPI, 2021)
      In this paper, we present a nonlinear PID controller based on saturation functions with variable parameters in order to regulate the output voltage of a buck converter in the presence of changes in the input voltage. The ...
    • Optimal Location and Sizing of Distributed Generators in DC Networks Using a Hybrid Method Based on Parallel PBIL and PSO 

      Grisales-Noreña, Luis Fernando; Montoya, Oscar Danilo; Ramos-Paja, Carlos Andrés; Hernández-Escobedo, Quetzalcoatl; Perea Moreno, Alberto Jesús (MDPI, 2020)
      This paper addresses the problem of the locating and sizing of distributed generators (DGs) in direct current (DC) grids and proposes a hybrid methodology based on a parallel version of the Population-Based Incremental ...
    • Peanut Shell for Energy: Properties and Its Potential to Respect the Environment 

      Perea-Moreno, Miguel Ángel; Manzano Agugliaro, Francisco; Hernández-Escobedo, Quetzalcoatl; Perea Moreno, Alberto Jesús (MDPI, 2018)
      The peanut (Arachys hypogaea) is a plant of the Fabaceae family (legumes), as are chickpeas, lentils, beans, and peas. It is originally from South America and is used mainly for culinary purposes, in confectionery products, ...
    • Seasonal Wind Energy Characterization in the Gulf of Mexico 

      Perea Moreno, Alberto Jesús; Alcalá, Gerardo; Hernández-Escobedo, Quetzalcoatl (MDPI, 2019)
      In line with Mexico’s interest in determining its wind resources, in this paper, 141 locations along the states of the Gulf of Mexico have been analyzed by calculating the main wind characteristics, such as the Weibull ...
    • Solar Resource for Urban Communities in the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico 

      Perea Moreno, Alberto Jesús; Hernández-Escobedo, Quetzalcoatl (MDPI, 2016)
      Several studies have determined that Mexico has great renewable energy potential, and one of its most abundant resources is solar energy, a source that could be exploited to provide development opportunities to its ...
    • Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Aerodynamic Noise in Small Wind Turbines 

      Dorrego, José R.; Ríos, Armando; Hernández-Escobedo, Quetzalcoatl; Campos-Amezcua, Rafael; Iracheta, Reynaldo; Lastres, Orlando; López, Pascual; Verde, Antonio; Hechavarria, Liliana; Perea-Moreno, Miguel Ángel; Perea Moreno, Alberto Jesús (MDPI, 2021)
      This paper presents an analysis of sound pressure levels through theoretical modeling and experimental validation in a 1 kW small wind turbine. The models used in the theoretical analysis are BPM (Brooks, Pope, and Marcolini) ...
