In this paper we present Deep Learning (DL) modelling to forecast the behaviour and energy production of a photovoltaic (PV) system. Using deep learning models rather than following the classical way (analytical models of PV systems) presents an outstanding advantage: context-aware learning for PV systems, which is independent of the deployment and configuration parameters of the PV system, its location and environmental conditions. These deep learning models were developed within the Ópera Digital Platform using the data of the UniVer Project, which is a standard PV system that was in place for the last twenty years in the Campus of the University of Jaén (Spain). From the obtained results, we conclude that the combination of CNN and LSTM is an encouraging model to forecast the behaviour of PV systems, even improving the results from the standard analytical model.

This article presents a method developed for carrying out the energy production estimation considering the energy losses in different components of a photovoltaic (PV) system and its downtime effect. The studied system is a grid-connected photovoltaic system including PV modules, wires, and inverter. PV systems are sensitive to environmental conditions (UV radiation, temperature, humidity) and all components are subjected to electrical losses. The proposed method allows obtaining the production of photovoltaic system and its availability during a specified period using meteorological data. The calculation of the production takes into account the downtime periods when no energy is delivered in the grid during this period. The time-to-failure and the time-to-repair of photovoltaic system are considered following a Weibull distribution. This method permits to have a best estimation of the production throughout the lifetime of the photovoltaic system.

Recently, offshore wind plants, as Horn’s Riv one, have reached a remarkable interest and development. In these sites, HAWT’s blades experiment corrosion, erosion and fouling and, at higher latitudes, icing conditions too, as in mountainous areas and in harsch climate sites. The operative conditions may influence the machine damages and they may occur as consequence of erosion, corrosion, fouling, icing, exfoliation caused by the above mentioned environmental conditions. The paper reports about data collection about failures occurred to HAWTS operating in offshore, mountainous and harsch climate sites in last ten years. Particularly, the damage occurred to blades, gears and bearings have been examined and the consequences analysed. The occurred failures are examined and the reliability of WTGs is assessed by appropriate models and analysis. The results are com pared to literature data and they may be very useful in programmable maintenance and in predictable one. Reliability analysis may be also useful to increase energy production.

And Function

In 1986 and 1987, Philip Newsholme et al. reported macrophages utilize glutamine, as well as glucose, at high rates. These authors measured key enzyme activities and consumption and production levels of metabolites in incubated or cultured macrophages isolated from the mouse or rat intraperitoneal cavity. Metabolic pathways essential for macrophage function were then determined. Macrophages utilize glucose to generate (i) ATP in the pathways of glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, (ii) glycerol 3-phosphate for the synthesis of phospholipids and triacylglycerols, (iii) NADPH for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and (iv) ribose for the synthesis of RNA and subsequently production and secretion of protein mediators (e.g. cytokines). Glutamine plays an essential role in macrophage metabolism and function, as it is required for energy production but also provides nitrogen for synthesis of purines, pyrimidines and thus RNA. Macrophages also utilize fatty acids for both energy production in the mitochondria and lipid synthesis essential to plasma membrane turnover and lipid meditator production. Recent studies utilizing metabolomic approaches, transcriptional and metabolite tracking technologies have detailed mitochondrial release of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) intermediates (e.g. citrate and succinate) to the cytosol, which then regulate pro-inflammatory responses. Macrophages can reprogramme their metabolism and function according to environmental conditions and stimuli in order to polarize phenotype so generating pro- or anti-inflammatory cells. Changes in macrophage metabolism result in modified function/phenotype and vice versa. The plasticity of macrophage metabolism allows the cell to quickly respond to changes in environmental conditions such as those induced by hormones and/or inflammation. A past and present overview of macrophage metabolism and impact of endocrine regulation and the relevance to human disease are described in this review.

<p>Experimental and simulation work were performed to study the effects of shading for different strings inside photovoltaic (PV) panels under real outdoor environmental climate conditions for Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The electrical characteristics of PV panel were measured by using the PV analyzer, while the simulations were performed by MATLAB. The effect of full cell shading were studied experimentally for each configuration of two or four bypass diodes and verified by theoretical modeling. The I-V and P-V curves for all cases were recorded to investigate the effect of bypass diodes in reducing shading losses under similar environmental conditions. Compared to design with fewer bypass diodes, inserting more bypass diodes (four diodes in our work) contributed to higher yield in performance of solar PV panels undergoing shading while taking in to account the cost of energy production. Compared to the case of two bypass diodes, applying four diodes can recover up to ~31% of non-shaded maximum power under different cell shading conditions. </p>

In the past most studies of the control of energy metabolism focus on the role of the phosphorylation potential ATP/ADP.Pi on the regulation of respiration. Studies using NMR techniques have demonstrated that the concentrations of these compounds for oxidation phosphorylation do not change appreciably throughout the cardiac cycle and during increases in cardiac work. Hence regulation of energy production by calcium ions, present in the mitochondrial matrix, has been the object of a number of recent studies.Three exclusively intramitochondnal dehydrogenases are key enzymes for the regulation of oxidative metabolism. They are activated by calcium ions in the low micromolar range. Since, however, earlier estimates of the intramitochondnal calcium, based on equilibrium thermodynamic considerations, were in the millimolar range, a physiological correlation was not evident. The introduction of calcium-sensitive probes fura-2 and indo-1 made monitoring of free calcium during changing energy metabolism possible. These studies were performed on isolated mitochondria and extrapolation to the in vivo situation is more or less speculative.

In recent years, with electron microscopes coming into wider use, their installation environments do not necessarily give their performance full play. Their environmental conditions include air-conditioners, magnetic fields, and vibrations. We report a jointly developed entirely new vibration isolator which is effective against the vibrations transmitted from the floor.Conventionally, large-sized vibration isolators which need the digging of a pit have been used. These vibration isolators, however, are large present problems of installation and maintenance because of their large-size.Thus, we intended to make a vibration isolator which1) eliminates the need for changing the installation room2) eliminates the need of maintenance and3) are compact in size and easily installable.
