Analysis and Design Guidelines for Current Control Loops of Grid-Connected Converters Based on Mathematical Models
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Having a method for analyzing and designing regulators of controls that contain many current loops such as active filters is not a trivial task. There can be many parameters of regulators and filters that must be carefully ...
A methodology and experimental implementation for industrial robot health assessment via torque signature analysis
(MDPI AG, 2020)
This manuscript focuses on methodological and technological advances in the field of health assessment and predictive maintenance for industrial robots. We propose a non-intrusive methodology for industrial robot joint ...
Modern Project Management Approaches in Uncertainty Environments: A Comparative Study Based on Action Research
(MDPI, 2020)
Change and high uncertainty levels are the main characteristics of current project contexts. Years ago, the traditional project management faced problems when operating in these environments. Thus, at the end of the 20th ...
In-SEM micro-machining reveals the origins of the size effect in the cutting energy
(Springer Nature, 2021)
High-precision metal cutting is increasingly relevant in advanced applications. Such precision normally requires a cutting feed in the micron or even sub-micron dimension scale, which raises questions about applicability ...
Partial Power Processing Based Converter for Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Stations
(MDPI, 2021)
This paper focuses on the design of a charging unit for an electric vehicle fast charging station. With this purpose, in first place, different solutions that exist for fast charging stations are described through a brief ...
Evaluation of a strategy-oriented method to identify and prioritise knowledge management initiatives in SMEs
(OmniaScience, 2021)
Purpose: This article presents the process followed for the definition, application and evaluation of a strategy-oriented method for identifying and prioritising knowledge management (KM) initiatives in small to medium-sized ...
Diffusion of Quinine with Ethanol as a Co-Solvent in Supercritical CO2
(MDPI, 2020)
This study aims at contributing to quinine extraction using supercritical CO2 and ethanol as a co-solvent. The diffusion coefficients of quinine in supercritical CO2 are measured using the Taylor dispersion technique when ...
Team emotional intelligence: Emotional processes as a link between managers and workers
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
Research has shown that transformational leaders are able, through emotional contagion mechanisms, to transmit their emotions and boost positive feelings among their followers. Although research on leadership and team ...
Measurement of plastic strain and plastic strain rate during orthogonal cutting for Ti-6Al-4V
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
Finite Element Modelling used to predict machining outcomes needs to be supplied with the appropriate material thermomechanical properties which are obtained by specific testing devices and methodologies. However, these ...
Reactive control of wave energy devices – the modelling paradox
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
The implementation of energy maximising control systems (EMCSs) in wave energy converter (WEC) devices is an important step towards commercially viable operation of WECs. During the design stage of such EMCSs, linear ...
