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.Article Citation - Scopus: 14Design and Multichannel Electromyography System-Based Neural Network Control of a Low-Cost Myoelectric Prosthesis Hand(Copernicus GmbH, 2021-02-04) Siddiq Ahmed, Saygin; Almusawi, Ahmed R.J.; Yilmaz, Bulent; Doǧru, NuranThis study introduces a new control method for electromyography (EMG) in a prosthetic hand application with a practical design of the whole system. The hand is controlled by a motor (which regulates a significant part of the hand movement) and a microcontroller board, which is responsible for receiving and analyzing signals acquired by a Myoware muscle device. The Myoware device accepts muscle signals and sends them to the controller. The controller interprets the received signals based on the designed artificial neural network. In this design, the muscle signals are read and saved in a MATLAB system file. After neural network program processing by MATLAB, they are then applied online to the prosthetic hand. The obtained signal, i.e., electromyogram, is programmed to control the motion of the prosthetic hand with similar behavior to a real human hand. The designed system is tested on seven individuals at Gaziantep University. Due to the sufficient signal of the Mayo armband compared to Myoware sensors, Mayo armband muscle is applied in the proposed system. The discussed results have been shown to be satisfactory in the final proposed system. This system was a feasible, useful, and cost-effective solution for the handless or amputated individuals. They have used the system in their day-to-day activities that allowed them to move freely, easily, and comfortably. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
