      Grisales-Norena, Luis Fernando; Montoya, Óscar Danilo; Gil-González, Walter Julian; Perea-Moreno, Alberto-Jesus; Perea-Moreno, Miguel-Ángel (Electronics, 12/2020)
      This study analyzes the numerical convergence and processing time required by several classical and new solution methods proposed in the literature to solve the power-flow problem (PF) in direct-current (DC) networks ...
    • Biomass as Renewable Energy: Worldwide Research Trends 

      Perea-Moreno, Miguel-Ángel; Salmerón-Manzano, Esther ; Perea-Moreno, Alberto-Jesus (Sustainability, 01/02/2019)
      The world's population continues to grow at a high rate, such that today's population is twice that of 1960, and is projected to increase further to 9 billion by 2050. This situation has brought about a situation in which ...
    • Date seeds (Phoenix dactylifera L.) valorization for boilers in the mediterranean climate 

      de la Cruz-Lovera, Carmen; Manzano-Agugliaro, Francisco; Salmerón-Manzano, Esther ; de la Cruz-Fernández, José Luis; Perea-Moreno, Alberto-Jesus (Sustainability, 29/01/2019)
      Energy saving is a global priority, as it is helping both energy and environmental sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions. The search for new energy solutions is therefore necessary. In the Mediterranean climate, resources ...
    • Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Energy Use at the University of Almeria (Spain) 

      Chihib, Mehdi; Salmerón-Manzano, Esther ; Chourak, Mimoun; Perea-Moreno, Alberto-Jesus; Manzano-Agugliaro, Francisco (Sustainability, 2021)
      The COVID-19 pandemic has caused chaos in many sectors and industries. In the energy sector, the demand has fallen drastically during the first quarter of 2020. The University of Almeria campus also declined the energy ...
    • Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Aerodynamic Noise in Small Wind Turbines 

      Dorrego, José R.; Ríos, Armando; Hernandez-Escobedo, Quetzalcoatl; Campos-Amezcua, Rafael; Iracheta, Reynaldo; Lastres, Orlando; López, Pascual; Verde, Antonio; Hechavarria, Liliana; Perea-Moreno, Miguel-Ángel ; Perea-Moreno, Alberto-Jesus (Energies, 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) ...
    • Wind Turbines Offshore Foundations and Connections to Grid 

      Manzano-Agugliaro, Francisco; Sánchez-Calero, Miguel; Alcayde, Alfredo; San-Antonio-Gómez, Carlos; Perea-Moreno, Alberto-Jesus; Salmerón-Manzano, Esther (Inventions, 03/2020)
      Most offshore wind farms built thus far are based on waters below 30 m deep, either using big diameter steel monopiles or a gravity base. Now, offshore windfarms are starting to be installed in deeper waters and the use ...
    • Zapote seed (Pouteria mammosa L.) valorization for thermal energy generation in tropical climates 

      Perea-Moreno, Miguel-Ángel ; Hernandez-Escobedo, Quetzalcoatl; Rueda-Martínez, Fernando; Perea-Moreno, Alberto-Jesus (Sustainability, 05/2020)
      According to the Law for the Use of Renewable Energies and the Financing of Energy Transition, Mexico's goal for 2024 is to generate 35% of its energy from non-fossil sources. Each year, up to 2630 tons of residual biomass ...
