Streetlight Control System Based on Wireless Communication over DALI Protocol
(MDPI, 2016)
Public lighting represents a large part of the energy consumption of towns and cities.
Efficient management of public lighting can entail significant energy savings. This work presents a
smart system for managing public ...
DALI Bridge FPGA-Based Implementation in a Wireless Sensor Node for IoT Street Lighting Applications
(MDPI, 2020)
Smart lighting systems based on the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) protocol are the most suitable for street lighting systems, allowing digital lighting control operations. Unfortunately, the microcontrollers, ...
Methodology for the Automatic Inventory of Olive Groves at the Plot and Polygon Level
(MDPI, 2022)
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a methodology to carry out olive grove inventories based on open data sources and automatic photogrammetric and satellite image analysis techniques. To do so, tools and ...
Energy Management Expert Assistant, a New Concept
(MDPI, 2021)
In recent years, interest in home energy management systems (HEMS) has grown significantly, as well as the development of Voice Assistants that substantially increase home comfort. This paper presents a novel merging of ...
A novel backtracking approach for two-axis solar PV tracking plants
(Elsevier, 2020)
Solar tracking is a technique required to increase energy production in multiple photovoltaic (PV) facilities. In these plants, during low-elevation solar angle hours, shadows appear between the collectors causing a dramatic ...
Development and application of a smart grid test bench
(Elsevier, 2017)
The current upward trend in large-scale integration of distributed energy resources (DER) in distribution networks has fueled interest in knowing their power quality issues (PQ), even in nearly real-time scale when possible. ...
Modeling of photovoltaic cell temperature losses: A review and a practice case in South Spain
(Elsevier, 2018)
To determine temperature losses in a photovoltaic (PV) installation, the operating temperature of the cells in the PV panels must be known. This temperature cannot be directly measured because the cells are not accessible ...
Modeling human activity in Spain for different economic sectors: The potential link between occupancy and energy usage
(Elsevier, 2018)
Stochastic models for predicting human behavior have become an essential part of the development of demand planning strategies, as well as a high-resolution base information for building simulation software. Due to the ...
A stochastic modelling and simulation approach to heating and cooling electricity consumption in the residential sector
(Elsevier, 2018)
Heating and cooling consumption is one of the most significant terms in the total supply, which may come to represent half of the total demand in European countries. These appliances are supplied by a wide range of sources, ...
Electricity demand during pandemic times: The case of the COVID-19 in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)
Electricity demand and its typical load pattern are usually affected by many endogenous and exogenous factors to which the generation system must accordingly respond through utility operators. Lockdown measures to prevent ...
