“…On one hand, the system will receive the noise generated by the WTs through a noise receiver system. On the other hand, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) will transport this receiver system as close to the WTs as possible and the collected signal will be sent by a wireless transmitter to the operators [20]. This paper is intended to study the viability of the system according to the existing literature.…”

Nowadays, wind energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources for covering the current electrical demand. The sophistication and the complexity of the wind energy systems are constantly growing. Therefore, new maintenance management techniques are required for ensure the efficiency and rentability of these systems. This paper is focused on the extraction of information from the noise generated by wind turbines. The main causes of noise generation by wind turbines are analyzed in this paper. The noise information allows some types of failures to be detected incipiently and, consequently, preventive and corrective maintenance tasks can be improved. In this field, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) can be very useful and facilitate the execution of the inspections. This paper presents a collection of methods for detecting failures through the processing of wind turbine noise. In addition, the possibility of employing UAVs for implement those methods is studied.

This work presents an unmanned aerial vehicle management platform encompassed in the concept of smart farming. Automates inspections of different crops and monitors the status of the plantation is done by IoT, analyzing an area on an online map that provides air and weather restrictions. Intelligent route management algorithms are employed to generate the optimal inspection route and waypoints, maximizing the multispectral images capture. These multispectral images can be subsequently processed according to algorithms based on phytosanitary index formulas and regressions obtained with artificial neural networks. Reports are generated with analysis of the results by this approach, for example: optimal collection time, water stress, maturity index, etc.

The global energy production model is changing from fossil fuels to renewable and nuclear energies. Concentrated solar power is one of the growing technologies that is leading this process. This growth implies the sophistication and size of the systems and, therefore, it requires an increase in maintenance tasks to ensure reliability, availability, maintainability and safety. The aim of this paper is to describe the current context of concentrated solar power, to summarise and analyse the main degradation mechanisms and the main techniques to detect, prevent and mitigate these faults. An exhaustive literature study is presented, considering the most advanced techniques and approaches. A novel qualitative and quantitative analysis of the literature is provided. Finally, the current trends and the future challenges in this field are gathered from this study.
