Applications of Systems Engineering to the Research, Design, and Development of Wind Energy Systems

Research , Development , and Engineering Metrics

We seek to understand how the use of Research, Development, and Engineering (R,D&E) metrics can lead to more effective management of R,D&E. This paper combines qualitative and quantitative research to understand and improve the use of R,D&E metrics. Our research begins with interviews of 43 representative Chief Technical Officers, Chief Executive Offices, and researchers at 10 research-intensiv...

Development of Knowledge-based Systems in Wind Engineering

An overview of basic concepts and techniques necessary to develop expert systems is presented. The knowledge elicitation process and knowledge representation schemes are discussed. We demonstrate that knowledge-based systems can offer intelligent assistance to designers and planners in accomplishing a wide spectrum of tasks requiring wind engineering expertise. We present an example of an exper...

This paper presents a simple unknown input estimation technique using generalized matrix inverse. The full order observer constructed by g-inverse is extended and implemented for this purpose. The necessary and sufficient condition has been introduced for existence of such an estimator. The proposed method is illustrated by numerical example (Two loop autopilot in pitch plane) and the MATLAB si...

Color is the most important properties for object discrimination. It is an object component that adds a new dimension to the machine vision. The color images on low devices are displayed having limited number of colors called as color palette reduction to cut down the storage requirements. In this paper we investigate the problem of averaging aggregation functions to select the appropriate func...
