This work presents the design and development of a remote monitoring system for the blades' strain in a small wind turbine (SWT). The monitoring system allows real-time transmission of the stress to a remote client which ...

After a brief discussion of meteorological methods used in the Antarctic, the paper gives an outline of a coordinated international research project whose objective is to set up a wind profiler radar station that would ...

The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the use of wind profilers in atmospheric research [Gage, 1990]. Briefly, wind profilers are Doppler radars that observe winds from Doppler shifts of "clear air" atmospheric ...

Zonal wind profiles in the daytime equatorial electrojet are inferred from the Doppler shifts of type II radar echoes observed at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO) in Perú. The inference is based on a three-dimensional ...

Optical observations of thermospheric winds and temperatures determined with high resolution measurements of Doppler shifts and Doppler widths of the OI 630-nm equatorial nightglow emission have been made with improved ...

A novel optimization methodology consisting of finding the near optimal location of wind turbines (WTs) on a planned transmission network in a secure and cost-effective way is presented on this paper. While minimizing ...

As wind energy is becoming a significant utility source, minimizing the operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses has raised a crucial issue to make wind energy competitive to fossil fuels. Wind turbines (WTs) are subject ...

IGP network of optical instruments consist of two types of imaging instrumentation: Fabry-Perot Interferometers (FPI) and All-Sky imagers (ASI). The FPI can obtain two dimensional interferograms that are used to study the ...
