• Optimizing water management: Identifying strategies to enhance irrigation efficiency under drought conditions 

  Luque-Sánchez, Álvaro; Díaz Cabrera, Juan Manuel; Perez Galvín, Adela; Gámez-Granados, Juan Carlos; Castillejo-González, I.L. (Elsevier, 2025)

  This study analyzes the water-energy nexus in a traditional, non-sensorized irrigation community under drought conditions (2020–2024) to identify management strategies that enhance irrigation efficiency. Electrical demand ...

• Mathematical study of the movement of solar tracking systems based on rational models 

  Fernández-Ahumada, Luis Manuel; Casares de la Torre, Francisco José; Ramírez Faz, José; López Luque, Rafael (Elsevier, 2017)

  This paper presents the analytical deduction of generic and unified equations of the movement of solar tracking systems. These equations reproduce published equations, which only consider the sun position, or the equations ...
