    Article
    Open Access
    A novel and innovative solution addressing wind turbines’ main bearing failure predictions using SCADA data is presented. This methodology enables to cut setup times and has more flexible requirements when compared to the ...

  • Optimization and operation of a demonstrative full scale microalgae harvesting unit based on coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation 

    Ortiz Ruiz, Antonio; García Galán, María Jesús; García Serrano, Joan; Díez Montero, Rubén (2021-03)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Biomass harvesting is a bottleneck in microalgae culture and microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems. Sedimentation coupled to coagulation and flocculation has been experimentally studied for a long time, however, ...

  • A coupled macroscopic traffic and pollutant emission modelling system for Barcelona 

    Rodríguez Rey, Daniel; Guevara Vilardell, Marc; Linares Herreros, María Paz; Casanovas Garcia, Josep; Salmeron Moya, Juan; Soret Miravet, Albert; Jorba Casellas, Oriol; Tena Medina, Carles; Pérez García-Pando, Carlos (2021-03)
    Article
    Open Access
    We present a coupled macroscopic traffic and emission modelling system tailored to the Barcelona metropolitan area that allows estimating hourly road transport emissions at road link level. We use the developed system to ...

  • Life Cycle Assessment of the mesophilic, thermophilic, and temperature-phased anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge 

    Lanko, Iryna; Flores Rosell, Laura; Garfi, Marianna; Todt, Vladimir; Posada, John; Jenicek, Pavel; Ferrer Martí, Ivet (2020-11)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this study the environmental impact of the anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge within an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was investigated. Three alternative AD systems (mesophilic, thermophilic, ...

  • Traffic noise assessment based on mobile measurements 

    Quintero Pérez, Guillermo; Balastegui Manso, Andreu; Romeu Garbí, Jordi (2021-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Continuous noise monitoring based on mobile systems could provide a quick feedback to assess the effect of policies implemented by authorities to mitigate noise pollution. The present research verifies that mobile measurements ...

  • Scaling-up the anaerobic digestion of pretreated microalgal biomass within a water resource recovery facility 

    Díez Montero, Rubén; Vassalle de Castro, Lucas; Passos, Fabiana Lopes del Rei; Ortiz Ruiz, Antonio; García Galán, María Jesús; García Serrano, Joan; Ferrer Martí, Ivet (2020-10)
    Article
    Open Access
    Microalgae-based wastewater treatment plants are low-cost alternatives for recovering nutrients from contaminated effluents through microalgal biomass, which may be subsequently processed into valuable bioproducts and ...

  • Wind fleet generator fault detection via SCADA alarms and autoencoders 

    Beretta, Mattia; Cárdenas Araujo, Juan José; Koch, Cosmin; Cusidó Roura, Jordi (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    A hybrid health monitoring system for wind turbine generators is introduced. The novelty of this research consists in approaching a 115-wind turbine fleet by using the fusion of multiple sources of information. Analog SCADA ...

  • Constructed wetlands operated as bioelectrochemical systems for the removal of organic micropollutants 

    Hartl, Marco; García Galán, María Jesús; Matamoros Mercadal, Víctor; Fernández Gatell, Marta; Rousseau, Diederik; Du Laing, Gijs; Garfi, Marianna; Puigagut Juárez, Jaume (2021-05)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has been investigated in constructed wetlands (CWs) operated as bioelectrochemical systems (BES). The operation of CWs as BES (CW-BES), either in the form of microbial fuel ...
