Abstract

The transition to renewable energy requires innovations in new renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) systems. Challenges arise in ensuring efficient and reliable performance in their operation and maintenance. Predictive maintenance using machine learning (PdM-ML) is relevant for addressing these challenges by enhancing failure predictions and reducing downtime. This study examines the effectiveness of PdM-ML in wind turbine and PV systems by analyzing operational data, performing data preprocessing, and developing machine learning models for each system. The results indicate that the model for wind turbines can predict failures in critical components such as gearboxes and blades with high accuracy. In contrast, the model for PV systems is effective in predicting efficiency declines in inverters and solar panels. Regarding operational complexity, each model has advantages and disadvantages of its own, but when compared to conventional maintenance techniques, both provide lower costs with greater operational efficiency. In conclusion, machine learning-based predictive maintenance is a promising solution for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy systems.

Abstract

This study explores the potential of utilizing waste heat from air conditioning systems, one of the largest consumers of electrical energy. Currently, most of the waste heat generated by outdoor units is typically released into the environment without being utilized, leading to missed energy-saving opportunities. This study analyzes the potential for improving electrical energy efficiency in air conditioning (AC) systems by harnessing this waste heat. Two primary approaches are evaluated: the first is the use of waste heat for domestic water heating, and the second is the conversion of heat into electrical energy using thermoelectric generators (TEG). The results of this research indicate that both methods have the potential to improve overall energy efficiency significantly. However, challenges related to conversion efficiency and integration of these technologies with AC systems require further, more specific studies. These findings are expected to contribute to more efficient and environmentally friendly cooling systems by optimizing technology and overcoming barriers to wider implementation.
