Article Citation - Scopus: 6Wind Turbine Inspection With Drone: Advantages and Disadvantages(Erol Kurt, 2023-03-31) Tanrıverdi, Harun; Karakuş, Güzide; Ulukan, AhmetThe facilities on wind energy generation are increasingly finding usage areas in line with the ecologically friendly energy generation approach. One of the important activities of wind power generation facilities, which have high investment cost, low operating cost and low environmental impact is the maintenance and repair of wind turbines. A preventive maintenance approach is dominant to reduce maintenance times and eliminate lost time in wind turbines. Damage inspection of turbines has been evolved from tower crane access, rope access, camera viewing, and other applications to image with manual drones over the years. However, when these methods are evaluated within the framework of criteria such as cost, performance, occupational safety and data reliability, they are still insufficient and the need for inspection with autonomous drones arises. The advantages and disadvantages of autonomous drones used in the determination of damage in wind turbines are analyzed and the results are considered to contribute to the practitioners operating in the sector and academicians working in the field. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Microgrid Environmental Impact(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-09-28) Al-Agtash, Salem Y.; al-Hashem, Mohammad; Batarseh, Mohanad; Bintoudi, Angelina D.; Tsolakis, Apostolos Charalampos; Tzovaras, Dimitrios K.; Hadjidemetriou, Lenos; Khiat, MounirPower plants have bad impacts on the environment. One of these impacts is Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission resulted from power plants that depend on fossil fuel, oil and natural gas. Renewable energy is considered as an important solution for this problem since it is classified as clean and environmentally friendly source of energy and helps reducing the dependency on conventional power plants. High renewable energy penetration into power systems is a big challenge that can be solved by deploying the concept of smart Micro-Grids. This paper presents a study on how much reduction of CO2 emission can be resulted from deploying smart micro-grid concept on a university campus, German Jordanian University (GJU) campus was taken as a pilot. The micro-grid is meant to operate according to an optimum resource scheduling framework that guarantee a minimum operational cost while achieving high local power availability. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
