Background The use of novel didactic approaches in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) academic programs is a relevant topic in current educational research. In this context, Project‐Based learning is shown as a promising didactic tool for improving the motivation of engineering students. Objective To propose an adapted...

The main problem found in the implementation of small microgrids where consumption is based on a certain number of loads (8,326,369 KWh total in the Canary Islands in 2017) [1] is the great variability of obtaining energy (361,1 MWh total in 2017) from renewable sources, the most important in the Canary Islands being wind and photovoltaic [2]. For...

We present the design proposal for a center of remote control for UAVs, based on the improvement of different types of ground stations by analysis of mode effect and mode of failure, FMEA and Ishikawa diagrams. So, that has been a center of command and control robust and reliable analysis FMEA analysis of the basic functions of control center. This...

In this paper, the design of a Battery Management System for a battery pack composed of Lithium-Ion cells is described. It specifies which lithium-ion technology is used for monitoring control signals such as the high voltage per cell, the start voltage balancing, the low voltage shutdown, and the maximum temperature of battery cells pack. The prop...
