Use, Operation and Maintenance of Renewable Energy Systems (eBook)

Dr. Miguel A. Sanz-Bobi has been an IEEE Senior member since 2008. He is a Professor at the Computer Science Department and also Researcher at the Institute for Research and Technology (IIT) both within the Engineering School of the Comillas Pontifical University, Madrid (Spain). He divides his time between teaching and research in the Artificial Intelligence field applied to diagnosis and maintenance of industrial processes. He has been the main researcher in more than 45 industrial projects over the last 25 years related to the diagnosis in real-time of industrial processes, incipient detection of anomalies based on models, knowledge acquisition and representation, reliability and predictive maintenance. All these projects have been based on a combination of artificial intelligence, new information technologies and data mining techniques.
