El agrocompostaje como solución basada en la naturaleza para el reciclaje de los residuos orgánicos: experiencia piloto con alumnado de FP
(Universidad Pública de Navarra, 2022) González Moreno, Miguel Ángel; García Gracianteparaluceta, Beñat; Prieto Cobo, Eduardo; Seco Meneses, Andrés; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua
Una Solución Basada en la Naturaleza (SBN) puede definirse como aquellas acciones en las cuales se emplean los principios de la naturaleza para dar solución a un problema medio ambiental. El compostaje se podría definir como esa solución natural para la transformación biológica de los residuos orgánicos en un producto de alto valor añadido denominado compost. Por lo tanto, esta técnica de reciclaje permite ‘cerrar el círculo’ en aplicación de una economía circular y contribuir en la lucha frente al cambio climático. Por primera vez en España, a través de la Comunidad Valenciana (ORDEN 4/2022, de 24 de marzo), se ha definido legalmente el agrocompostaje como todo aquel proceso de compostaje de subproductos y residuos procedentes de forma directa o indirecta de la actividad agrícola, ganadera y forestal, incluyendo como ingredientes exógenos a la explotación a aquellos materiales tradicionalmente usados para la actividad agrícola como estiércoles o, destríos y subproductos de la actividad trasformadora de los productos vegetales en el ámbito local y de autoconsumo. La presente comunicación pretende mostrar las conclusiones de la experiencia piloto de agrocompostaje realizada a través de un aprendizaje basado en un caso práctico con alumnado de un centro de formación profesional de la rama agraria desde dos puntos de vista: Por un lado, la parte puramente científico-técnica del proceso, dando a conocer los resultados obtenidos fruto del ensayo de agrocompostaje llevado a cabo con varios productos: subproductos agroindustriales de lavanda y lúpulo y residuos de café, en solitario y mezclados, en diversas proporciones de forma sistemática, con estiércol procedente de la explotación ganadera del propio centro educativo. Y por el otro, una parte más socioeducativa, queriendo mostrar desde un punto más 14 subjetivo, las vivencias, dificultades y preocupaciones del proceso de aprendizaje del alumnado mencionado como ‘maestros compostadores’ durante la duración del ensayo.

AI training for application to industrial robotics: trajectory generation for neural network tuning
(Springer, 2023) Merino Olagüe, Mikel; Ibarrola Chamizo, Javier; Aginaga García, Jokin; Hualde Otamendi, Mikel; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
In the present work robot trajectories are generated and kinematically simulated. Different data (joint coordinates, end effector position and orientation, images, etc.) are obtained in order to train a neural network suited for applications in robotics. The neural network has the goal of automatically generating trajectories based on a set of images and coordinates. For this purpose, trajectories are designed in two separate sections which are conveniently connected using Bezier curves, ensuring continuity up to accelerations. In addition, among the possible trajectories that can be carried out due to the different configurations of the robot, the most suitable ones have been selected avoiding collisions and singularities. The designed algorithm can be used in multiple applications by adapting its different parameters.

Calculation of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (IPAR) for traditional crops in Castilla y León, Spain
(Universidad Carlos III, 2022) Garrachón-Gómez, Elena; García Ruiz, Ignacio; García-Rodríguez, Ana; García-Rodríguez, Sol; Alonso-Tristán, Cristina; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
Agriculture is one of the most important economic activities in the Castilla y León region (Spain), approximately one-third of the land area is destined for this use. The role of agriculture in rural areas is essential from a territorial perspective, where rural depopulation is originating a crisis in the countryside. Moreover, climate change is having a major impact on agricultural productivity as a consequence, among others, of the increase in the frequency and the severity of extreme events, especially in Mediterranean regions [1]. For these reasons, it is essential to highlight the vision of agriculture as a multifunctional activity. Besides good management, productivity depends on many other factors, such as soil properties or climatic factors. A decisive climatic variable, which is often not considered in the planning and management of the crops, is the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), specifically, the Intercepted Photosynthetically Active Radiation (IPAR). The main purpose of this study is to calculate and represent an estimation of IPAR values for the most characteristic crops of Castilla y León.

Comprehensive analysis of rotor edgewise whirling mode interaction with rotor speed harmonics
(IOP Publishing, 2024) Torres Elizondo, Antonio; Gil Soto, Javier; Plaza Puértolas, Aitor; Aginaga García, Jokin; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
This paper presents a model that investigates the interaction between rotor edgewise whirling modes and rotor speed harmonics in wind turbines. The model is based on kinematic and dynamic principles, with a focus on the multi-blade coordinate transformation, which is critical for simulating the behaviour of the rotor whirling modes in wind turbines. The research has two objectives: to investigate the interaction between the rotor edgewise whirling modes and the rotor speed harmonics, and to provide clearer graphs that explain the complex nature of this non-intuitive rotor dynamics. The paper concludes by highlighting the practical implications of the research findings, in particular the effectiveness of visualisation techniques in identifying and explaining unexpected interactions.

Estimation of the solar thermal power generation potential in Pamplona (northern Spain)
(Universidad Carlos III, 2022) García Ruiz, Ignacio; Prieto Cobo, Eduardo; Torres Escribano, José Luis; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
In this work, an analysis of the potential of the city of Pamplona to produce solar thermal energy was carried out, according to the solar radiation received. As a result, for each residential, industrial, or service rooftop, information was provided on (1) the area available for thermal installation, (2) the solar thermal installation capacity and (3) the monthly and annual thermal energy generation potential. It was found that, if all suitable areas of the city are used, it would be possible to achieve an annual total solar thermal energy production of 1197.69 GWh. If solar energy supply and thermal demand were perfectly coupled over time, it would be possible to cover 99.1% of Pamplona's thermal energy demand.

(2021) Alegría Cía, Patricia; Rodríguez García, Antonio; Catalán Ros, Leyre; Astrain Ulibarrena, David; Araiz Vega, Miguel; Ingeniería; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza
Nowadays, geothermal energy in shallow hot dry rocks is not exploited enough due to the high economic and environmental impact as well as the lack of scalability of the existing technologies. Here, thermoelectricity has a great future potential due to its robustness, absence of moving parts and modularity. With this research, the feasibility of a novel and robust geothermal thermoelectric generator whose working principle is phase change has been experimentally demonstrated, as well as the importance of compactness to maximize its efficiency and thus, power generation.

Experimental study of a multistage thermoelectric heat pump using different internal heat exchangers
(2021) Erro Iturralde, Irantzu; Aranguren Garacochea, Patricia; Astrain Ulibarrena, David; Ingeniería; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza
The current need to carry out an energy transition towards a 100 % renewable horizon places the energy storage as the key. Thermal energy storage has the potential to be an optimal technology. Nowadays electrical resistors are used to convert electrical energy to termal energy by heating an air flux which is stored afterwards. In this work, it is proposed to use a multistage thermoelectric heat pump (MS-TEHP) to do this energy conversion. It has been experimentally analyzed and compared the performance of two MS-TEHP with different internal heat exchangers. With this preliminary research, it has been demonstrated the feasibility of this novel thermoelectric technology which aim is to improve the energy conversión process for thermal energy storage.

Geothermal thermoelectric generator for Timanfaya National Park
(2019) Catalán Ros, Leyre; Astrain Ulibarrena, David; Aranguren Garacochea, Patricia; Araiz Vega, Miguel; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería
Despite being one of the largest renewable sources, geothermal energy is not widely utilized for electricity generation. In the case of shallow Hot Dry Rock (HDR) fields, thermoelectric generators can entail a sustainable alternative to Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The present work studies two configurations of thermoelectric generators for Timanfaya National Park (Spain), one of the most important Hot Dry Rock fields in the world, with temperatures of 500°C at only 3 meters deep. The first configuration includes biphasic thermosyphons as heat exchangers for both sides, leading to a completely passive thermoelectric generator. The second configuration uses fin dissipators as cold-side heat exchangers.

Mechanical sensitivity analysis of strain gauge configurations in the main shaft of wind turbines
(IOP Publishing, 2022) Bacaicoa Díaz, Julen; Iriarte Goñi, Xabier; Aginaga García, Jokin; Plaza Puértolas, Aitor; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería
Wind turbines are reaching their remaining useful life, thus it is important to guarantee the well status of its components. A common way to check the status is to measure the loads on the Low Speed Shaft with strain gauges, but not always are bonded perfectly. In this work a sensitivity analysis of strain gauge con gurations is carried out, where the infuence of geometric and material parameters, and misplacement and misalignment parameters is analyzed. An analytical model for a single gauge was developed, obtaining a relation between the exerted loads and the strain measured by the strain gauge. By means of Taylor approximations the estimated loads were approached in order to have into account the in uence of the uncertainty of parameters. Results shown that the sensitivities with respect to the geometric and material parameters did not depend on the secondary loads while in the sensitivities with respect to the gauge bonding parameters the cross-talk e ect was present. In order to obtain realistic numerical results, a horizontal-axis NREL 5-MW wind turbine was simulated in OpenFAST with two wind-speed scenarios. The uncertainty of the estimated loads by the strain gauge con gurations was calculated.

Modal frequency and damping estimation of wind turbines: analysis of a wind farm
(Springer, 2024-06-22) Legaz Catena, Asier; Zivanovic, Miroslav; Iriarte Goñi, Xabier; Plaza Puértolas, Aitor; Carlosena García, Alfonso; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza
In this paper, we present an in-depth analysis carried out on several units of the same Wind Turbine (WT) model installed in a wind farm. We have collected simultaneous data under several different operating conditions ranging from the idling state to nominal power close to cut-out. Both frequency and damping parameters have been estimated for the first and second Fore-Aft (FA) and Side-Side (SS) tower modes. As far as we know, there are no previous publications combining data from so many turbines, operating conditions, and for a time period spanning several months. We have made use of a novel strategy to isolate the modes and minimize the influence of harmonics, using an algorithm previously proposed by the authors. The main conclusion is that estimated modal frequencies allow for a clear discrimination between turbines, whereas damping ratios, subjected to much wider deviations, do not seem to be very discriminant. We show here results for only one operating mode (nominal power), for which the method has been tuned. The analysis of other operating modes and longer periods, now under consideration, will allow for more conclusive results.

An optical fiber sensor for Hg2+ detection based on the LSPR of silver and gold nanoparticles embedded in a polymeric matrix as an effective sensing material
(MDPI, 2021-07-07) Martínez Hernández, María Elena; Sandúa Fernández, Xabier; Rivero Fuente, Pedro J.; Goicoechea Fernández, Javier; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
In this work, an optical fiber sensor based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon is presented as a powerful tool for the detection of heavy metals (Hg2+). The resultant sensing film was fabricated using a nanofabrication process, known as layer-by-layer embedding (LbL-E) deposition technique. In this sense, both silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized using a synthetic chemical protocol as a function of a strict control of three main parameters: polyelectrolyte concentration, loading agent, and reducing agent. The use of metallic nanostructures as sensing materials is of great interest because well-located absorption peaks associated with their LSPR are obtained at 420 nm (AgNPs) and 530 nm (AuNPs). Both plasmonic peaks provide a stable real-time reference that can be extracted from the spectral response of the optical fiber sensor, giving a reliable monitoring of the Hg2+ concentration.

Optimal strain gauge configurations for the estimation of mechanical loads in the main shaft of HAWT
(IOP Publishing, 2020) Iriarte Goñi, Xabier; Aginaga García, Jokin; Lerga Valencia, Francisco Javier; Gainza González, Gorka; Ros Ganuza, Javier; Bacaicoa Díaz, Julen; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería
In Structural Health Monitoring of wind turbines, measuring the mechanical loads is a key issue. The customary techniques for this task use a full-bridge strain gauge configuration to measure each of the six load components exerted on the shaft. However, using only six strain gauges should be sufficient to estimate the six load components if a one-to-one correspondence was achieved. In this paper a different approach to mechanical loads estimation is presented where, measuring the strain of individual gauges in quarter-bridge configurations, it is possible to estimate all the load components from a single set of gauges. The configurations are optimally determined making use of the D-optimality criterion, which maximises the observability of the estimated components. The approach also provides configurations where the apparent strain related to temperature variations is automatically compensated. Results show several optimal configurations for different measuring conditions and shows that six strain gauges are enough to estimate all the load components. The new approach also opens the possibility to obtain configurations with more strain gauges as well as configurations that have to meet other requirements.

The promising combination of thermoelectric generators with IoT technologies for autonomous monitoring systems
(2019) Garacochea Sáenz, Amaia; Catalán Ros, Leyre; Casi Satrústegui, Álvaro; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; Astrain Ulibarrena, David; Ingeniaritza; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
Monitoring stations becomes essential in any volcanic system in the world but, because of their remote location, both the electricity supply and the communications represent a technological challenge. The present work studies the feasibility of an autonomous volcanic monitoring system powered by thermoelectric generators for one of the monitoring stations of the Teide National Park (Canary Island), where temperatures of 80°C at few centimeters from the surface are found. The stable generation and robustness of thermoelectricity in combination with a new communication system based on LoRa (a low power wireless technology) make this solution a good alternative.
