Shipboard DC systems, a Critical Overview: Challenges in Primary Distribution, Power Electronics-based Protection, and Power Scalability

Latorre, Alejandro (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Geertsma, R.D. (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Polinder, H. (author)

This article gives an overview of challenges in primary distribution, protections, and power scalability for shipboard dc systems. Given that dc technology is in development, several aspects of shipboard systems have not yet been sufficiently devised to ensure the protection and efficiency demanded. Several issues in dc systems arise from the...

Development of a Light-Tracking and-Redirecting System Actuated by Hand-Gesture Recognition

Liu Cheng, Alexander (author), Vega, Nestor Llorca (author), Latorre, Galoget (author), Coba, Daniel (author)

This paper presents a context-Aware light-Tracking and-redirecting system guided by hand-gesture recognition. It is conceived as yet another mechanism within an ongoing development of a more intuitive and technically sophisticated Ambient Intelligence / Active and Assisted Living ecosystem. The detailed system consists of individual nodes...

Development of an eye- and gaze-tracking mechanism in an active and assisted living ecosystem

Liu Cheng, Alexander (author), Llorca, N. (author), Latorre, G. (author)

This paper details the development of an open-source eye- and gaze-tracking mechanism designed for open, scalable, and decentralized Active and Assisted Living (AAL) ecosystems built on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs). Said mechanism is deliberately conceived as yet another service-feature in an on-going implementation of an...

Actuation Confirmation and Negation via Facial-Identity and -Expression Recognition

Liu Cheng, Alexander (author), Bier, H.H. (author), Latorre, Galoget (author)

This paper presents the implementation of a facial-identity and-expression recognition mechanism that confirms or negates physical and/or computational actuations in an intelligent built-environment. Said mechanism is built via Google Brain's TensorFlow (as regards facial identity recognition) and Google Cloud Platform's Cloud Vision API (as...

Design and Development of a Novel Robotic Gripper for Automated Scaffolding Assembly

Follini, Camilla (author), Liu Cheng, Alexander (author), Latorre, Galoget (author), Amores, Luis Freire (author)

Scaffolding assembly constitutes a potentially dangerous and time-consuming task within the construction process. In most industrialized nations, said assembly is the process in which most of the causalities of the Construction Industry happen, especially in projects characterized by high complexity and restricted operation space. The...

A high-resolution intelligence implementation based on Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation strategies

Liu Cheng, Alexander (author), Bier, H.H. (author), Latorre, Galoget (author), Kemper, B.N. (author), Fischer, D.L. (author)

This paper presents an initial proof-of-concept implementation of a comprehensively intelligent built-environment based on mutually informing Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation (D2RP&O) strategies and methods developed at Delft University of Technology (TUD). In this implementation, D2RP is expressed via deliberately...

Assessment of operation reserves in hydrothermal electric systems with high wind generation

Ramos, Andres (author), Rivier, Michel (author), Garcia-Gonzalez, Javier (author), Latorre, J. M. (author), Morales-Espana, G. (author)

In this paper, we propose a method to analyze the amount of operation reserves procured in a system based on two stages. The first stage is a detailed hourly unit commitment and the second stage is a simulation model with a shorter time period. The method is applied to the Spanish hydrothermal system and several cases are analyzed to determine...
