This paper presents a radical approach for real-time maintenance prioritization where the main idea is drawn from neuroscience studies. In this approach, maintenance prioritization is a product of a learning process. Failures and maintenance experiences are learned from and applied through “habituation” and “gist generation”. During real-time operations, the knowledge is retrieved when maintenance...
Forecasting the output of wind energy plants over many months is problematic because of the unpredictability of the weather. Usually, a large proportion of conventional generation must be standing by as reserve capacity in case the weather is not conducive to that type of renewable technology. A possible solution is to operate in conjunction different types of renewables. For instance, during stormy...
The lateral deflection of a microscale elastomer membrane patterned in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been experimentally characterized in terms of how geometric parameters affect the compliance of the membrane, and consequently the magnitude of deflection for a given pressure. The concept of a laterally-deformable membrane had been previously demonstrated as viable for applications including sealing,...
