Remote Sensing for Monitoring Macroplastics in Rivers: A Review
Panoramic of remote sensing platforms for monitoring plastics in riverine environments. Platform elevation is directly related to image spatial resolution; see the example of a plastic bottle captured from Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs). Letters stand for drone (D) and satellite (S) platforms: (Sa) Sentinel‐2; (Sb) Sentinel‐1 SAR; (Sc) Pleiades ...

Operational Pitch Actuation Dynamics for Offshore Wind Turbines Ranging from 5 to 50 MW
ABSTRACT Modern wind turbines have been continuously growing in size due to the increased power generation and reduced costs associated with larger rotors and more abundant wind resources offshore. In order to effectively implement pitch control on blades that are longer, more flexible, and heavier than ever before, modern electric pitch systems must ...
