Item type:Publication, Mass Flow Control Strategy for Maximum Energy Extraction in Thermal Energy Storage Tanks(ASME International, 2024-11-28); ; <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This paper introduces an experimental approach to enhance thermal energy storage (TES) tank performance by employing a novel control strategy and an automatic flow valve. The valve adjusts mass flow to minimize heat loss and maximize useful heat within a specified input–output temperature range. Experiments were conducted indoors, simulating input heat via an electric heating element, and adhering to ANSI/ASHRAE 93-2010 standards. In the proposed control strategy, the set point is self-regulated based on an input value which in this case is the heat introduced into the TES system. In this way, when there is more input heat available, the mass flow will increase to obtain more useful heat at the output and, on the contrary, when there is less heat available, the mass flow will be reduced to obtain greater exergy. A comparison between this strategy and conventional on–off control systems was conducted, evaluating their performance based on useful heat obtained over an 8-h period with varying input heat levels. Results demonstrate that the proposed flow control methodology consistently outperforms on–off control, achieving a maximum 13.56% increase in useful heat under optimal conditions. This underscores the effectiveness of the novel control strategy in maximizing thermal energy storage tank efficiency.</jats:p> - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, IoT-Based Smart Gas Meter With LTE Connectivity and Cloud Analytics for Stationary Tanks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2026); ; Millions of homes in developing countries rely on stationary LPG tanks, yet the methods for monitoring fuel levels remain manual, unsafe, and highly inefficient. This paper addresses this issue by presenting the design, development, and implementation of an IoT-based smart gas meter that uses a noninvasive Hall-effect sensor to digitally read existing level gauges. Data is transmitted via LTE, eliminating the need for Wi-Fi and optimizing connectivity. The system is designed for low power consumption, achieving a battery life of more than eight years. Additionally, a cloud architecture is implemented in AWS to process the collected data, allowing real-time analysis, predictive maintenance, and logistics optimization. A field test was also conducted with 15 prototypes, demonstrating accurate gas level monitoring, reliable refill detection, and gas theft prevention. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Bridging the Digital Divide in Mexico: A Critical Analysis of Telecommunications Infrastructure and Predictive Models for Policy Innovation(2024); ; ; <jats:p>This work presents an in-depth evaluation of the telecommunications landscape in Mexico from 2015 to 2023. The study’s primary focus is on the disparities in broadband access, telecommunications infrastructure, and digital inclusion across various regions, particularly between urban and rural areas. By employing predictive models and correlation analysis, the paper identifies key factors influencing technology adoption and service bundling in households. A significant contribution of this research lies in its identification of strong correlations between broadband access, GDP growth, and the penetration of multiple telecommunication services such as fixed telephony, broadband internet, and television. The predictive models developed offer crucial insights into the regional inequalities of digital access, revealing patterns that policymakers can use to prioritize infrastructure investments. The findings underscore the essential role of public policy innovation in promoting digital inclusion, particularly in underdeveloped regions, and provide a robust analytical framework for understanding how advanced telecommunications services contribute to socio-economic development. Through this analytical approach, the study demonstrates the critical relationship between telecommunications infrastructure and regional economic performance, offering data-driven recommendations to bridge the digital divide and enhance connectivity in underserved areas. The results offer significant value for future research and policy initiatives aimed at fostering equitable access to Information and communication technologies, promoting economic growth, and ensuring broader societal inclusion in the digital age.</jats:p>5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Channel Characterization and SC-FDM Modulation for PLC in High-Voltage Power Lines(2022); ; <jats:p>Digital communication over power lines is an active field of research and most studies in this field focus on low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) power systems. Nevertheless, as power companies are starting to provide communication services and as smart-grid technologies are being incorporated into power networks, high-voltage (HV) power-line communication has become attractive. The main constraint of conventional HV power-line carrier (PLC) systems is their unfeasibility for being migrated to wideband channels, even with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this scenario, none of the current linear/non-linear equalizers used in single carrier schemes achieve the complete compensation of the highly dispersive conditions, which limits their operation to 4 kHz channels. In this paper, a new PLC-channel model is introduced for transmission lines incorporating the effects of the coupling equipment. In addition, the use of the single-carrier frequency-division modulation (SC-FDM) is proposed as a solution to operate PLC systems in a wide bandwidth, achieving transmission speeds above those of the conventional PLC system. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the superior performance of the SC-FDM-PLC over conventional PLC systems, obtaining a higher transmission capacity in 10 to 30 times.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 2 36 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Statistical Study of User Perception of Smart Homes during Vital Signal Monitoring with an Energy-Saving Algorithm(2022); ; ; <jats:p>Sensor networks are deployed in people’s homes to make life easier and more comfortable and secure. They might represent an interesting approach for elderly care as well. This work highlights the benefits of a sensor network implemented in the homes of a group of users between 55 and 75 years old, which encompasses a simple home energy optimization algorithm based on user behavior. We analyze variables related to vital signs to establish users’ comfort and tranquility thresholds. We statistically study the perception of security that users exhibit, differentiating between men and women, examining how it affects the person’s development at home, as well as the reactivity of the sensor algorithm, to optimize its performance. The proposed algorithm is analyzed under certain performance metrics, showing an improvement of 15% over a sensor network under the same conditions. We look at and quantify the usefulness of accurate alerts on each sensor and how it reflects in the users’ perceptions (for men and women separately). This study analyzes a simple, low-cost, and easy-to-implement home-based sensor network optimized with an adaptive energy optimization algorithm to improve the lives of older adults, which is capable of sending alerts of possible accidents or intruders with the highest efficiency.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 4 47 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
