Evaluation of onboard sensors for track geometry monitoring against conventional track recording measurements
Hengcheng Zhang, Zhan Yie Chin, Pietro Borghesani +2
The main objective of this paper is to assess the estimation of track condition parameters using onboard micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) accelerometers. A prototype of an on…
Bayesian Multivariate Track Geometry Degradation Modelling and its use in Condition-Based Inspection
Huy Truong-Ba, Sinda Rebello, Michael E. Cholette +2
Effective maintenance of railway infrastructure is crucial for safe and comfortable transportation. Among the various degradation modes, track geometry deformation due to repeated…
Heliostat-field soiling predictions and cleaning resource optimization for solar tower plants
Cody B. Anderson, Giovanni Picotti, Michael E. Cholette +3
This paper presents a novel methodology for characterizing soiling losses through experimental measurements. Soiling predictions were obtained by calibrating a soiling model based…
Stochastic Soiling Loss Models for Heliostats in Concentrating Solar Power Plants
Giovanni Picotti, Michael E. Cholette, Cody B. Anderson +2
Reflectance losses on solar mirrors due to soiling are a significant challenge for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants. Soiling losses can vary significantly from site to site -…
