Resumen—Las Islas Galápagos poseen uno de los ecosistemas con mayor biodiversidad y fragilidad en el mundo. Las actividades del ser humano como el transporte marítimo de pasajeros ponen en peligro a este ecosistema. Las embarcaciones con motores de combustión interna que operan en el canal de Itabaca tienen un consumo promedio anual de 4200 galones...
A new methodology of wind data processing used in feasibility and optimization of wind farms is presented in this work. The wind data of the meteorological tower provided by CELEC-EP is analyzed through a quality control of suspicious values, according to wind speeds greater than 50 (m/s) and a daily statistical relationship proposed in this work f...
The aim of this work is to design and code an embedded system for a portable automatic weather station. The portable station includes high performance sensors to measure parameters such as: i) wind speed and direction, micro perturbations and wind gusts, ii) air temperature, iii) solar radiation, iv) relative humidity, and v) atmospheric pressure....
En este trabajo se presenta una nueva metodología para procesar los datos de viento que son usados en los análisis de pre-factibilidad y optimización de parques eólicos. Los datos de la torre meteorológica de Villonaco, entregados por CELEC-EP, fueron analizados a través de un control de calidad que consistió en reconocer los valores dudosos de vel...

This study investigates the performance of four control strategies—Proportional-Derivative (PD), Feedforward-Feedback PD (FF-FB PD), Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), and Feedforward-Feedback LQR (FF-FB LQR)—implemented on a robotic transfemoral prosthesis. The performance metrics, including overshoot, settling time, trajectory tracking accuracy, a...
This research presents the design, testing, and val- idation steps of a novel bottling machine that can potentially revolutionize the bottling process for small and medium-sized companies. The machine was equipped with a detection system to identify dirty bottles before the bottling process began, ensuring that only clean bottles were used and achi...
With the growth of the nations, the commercial and public services sectors have recently seen an increase in their electricity usage. This demonstrates how crucial it is to understand a building’s behavior in order to lower its usage. This requires on-site data collection by qualified professionals and specialized equipment, which represents high c...
The study evaluates the energy and environmental performance of Ecuador's upstream oil facilities between 2015 and 2020, focusing on major extraction blocks. By analyzing data on oil, gas, and water production, fossil fuel consumption, and electricity usage, key performance indicators were developed to assess efficiency and environmental impact. Th...
This paper addresses the pressing need for sustainable energy solutions by focusing on developing a photovoltaic solar tracker enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI). The current and future global trends challenge energy systems to improve their output while also maintaining an eco-friendly approach, and there is an option to offset carbon emis...
The research aims to study the influence of eco-efficient buildings by comparing their designs according to energy efficiency criteria and optimization considering scenarios with traditional construction systems. The proposed methodology shows that eco-efficient building projects comply with environmental and sustainable strategies for the expansio...
Maritime passenger transport in the Galapagos Islands–Itabaca Channel is based on boats with combustion engines that consume an annual average of 4200 gallons of fuel and produce about 38 tons of CO2 per year. The operation of the solar catamaran “INER 1” electric propulsion (PV) is a renewable and sustainable model for passenger shipping in the Ga...
Se ha desarrollado un desalinizador solar con recuperación de calor para su aplicación en zonas costeras del Ecuador con escasez de agua dulce. El aparato consta de una torre de destilación de 3 etapas conectada a un colector solar plano. La energía solar absorbida por el colector es transferida mediante circulación natural a la torre de destilació...
The thermal response test (TRT) is a highly developed and widespread method for measuring ground thermal conductivity using ground source heat exchangers (GHEs). However, its application is mostly limited to vertical ground heat exchangers (VGHEs), with very few previous studies on TRT with horizontal configurations. Therefore, the objective of thi...
The Mitsubishi RV-2JA intelligent robot control system (ISMS) was synthesized using surface electromyographic signals (pEMG). The sEMG signals were recording using the Myo bracelet and transmitted to the intelligent control system via the Bluetooth interface. The IRCS was synthesized in Simulink environment of the Matlab platform. IRCS performs the...
Considering that the Parkinson disease is a neurodegenerative, progressive and incurable pathology, and with the purpose of improving ill people life quality, the design and construction of a mechatronic device was proposed to help mitigating the involuntary movements produced by the disease. This device allows the analysis of the involuntary movem...
El objetivo de este trabajo es diseñar y programar un sistema embebido para una estación meteorológica automática portátil. La estación portátil incluye sensores de alto rendimiento para medir parámetros tales como: i) la velocidad y dirección del viento, micro perturbaciones y ráfagas de viento, ii) la temperatura del aire, iii) la radiación solar...
