Electric power losses are constantly present during the service life of wind farms and must be considered in the calculation of the income arising from selling the produced electricity. It is typical to estimate the electrical losses in the design stage as those occurring when the wind farm operates at rated power, nevertheless, it is necessary to determine a method for checking if the actual losses meet the design requirements during the operation period. In this paper, we prove that the electric losses at rated power should not be considered as a reference level and a simple methodology will be developed to analyse and foresee the actual losses in a set period as a function of the wind resource in such period, defined according to the Weibull distribution, and the characteristics of the wind farm electrical infrastructure. This methodology facilitates a simple way, to determine in the design phase and to check during operation, the actual electricity losses.

The earthquake destroyed approximately 105,000 homes, causing more than 2.3 million people to live as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Today, more than 1.3 million people still live in tents. Low cost buildings can provide a housing solution for these people. This paper proposes a low cost building solution intended for hot climates, using concrete as the only material. Due to the lack of facilities at these locations, no conventional energy or cooling systems can be installed; thus, only passive cooling technologies can be used to increase thermal comfort. A low cost cool roof and combined natural ventilation is proposed, and simulations show an improvement of 16% in the thermal conditions inside the building. The simulation is performed using the software package EnergyPlus and shows that cool roofs can be a good solution for improving living conditions in low cost houses for IDPs.

Sancristóbal; C. Pérez-Molina; M. Castro;Abstract The modern struggle to generate electricity reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions has found an ally in Smart Grid technology. This new trend involves a renewed perspective on how to generate, transmit, distribute and manage electricity networks, which not only helps to reduce power demand and cost, but can also improve efficiency, reliability, quality and security. This paper aims to study comprehensively the Smart Grid power system by comparing experiences and success stories from around the world. Developed countries, like the United States and those in the European Union, and developing countries, like India and Brazil, have been taken as examples of the current development and state of the Smart Grid concept. Europe and the U.S. lead the development of Smart Grids systems, while Brazil and India strongly depend on foreign technology and investment for their development in their countries. Climate change represents an extra challenge for developing countries, in addition to other issues related to economic and social advancement. Nevertheless, Smart Grids offer an array of possibilities and opportunities that work towards climate change international goals. However, state motivations and national energy resources limit the advancement of Smart Grids on this matter.

The system dissipates heat through a swimming pool, avoiding the need for a cooling tower. The system is fed using a solar thermal system with an area of 35.54 m 2 . The behavior of the system was monitored for a full year. The design and the calculations for the thermal requirements are presented, and the values of the coefficient of performance (COP) and the expected temperatures are compared with those obtained experimentally. This paper demonstrates that the actual values are slightly lower than the simulated values. The experiment has validated the possibility of using a swimming pool as a sink for heat dissipation. The economic analysis shows that the internal rate of return (IRR) reaches 12.45% while achieving a 68% reduction in greenhouse gasses GHG emissions. The results show that this approach can add great value to solar thermal energy systems while avoiding problems due to high temperatures during the summer months.

Thus, a feasible solution to maximize the performance of the solar power plant is the integration of battery energy storage systems. Although this configuration has been extensively studied in the existing literature, an optimal design method to determine the proper size and operation of the energy storage system needs to be developed. In this paper, a novel method to help power plants designers to determine the optimal battery energy storage capacity to integrate into any solar photovoltaic power plant is provided. The proposed algorithm minimizes the potential power curtailment and optimizes the utilization rate of the batteries storage system. The algorithm can be applied to any grid connected solar photovoltaic power plant under delivery power restrictions, regardless of power capacity and location. The algorithm has been implemented to a simulated power plant with delivery limitations based in a real case, and results with the optimal battery capacity show that the system would be able to recover up to the 83% of the curtailed energy and a yearly average capacity utilization of 56%. Moreover, the BESS operation has been validated with a scaled model run in Simulink and laboratory measurements, achieving 98% of curtailed energy recovery rate and a 57% of average capacity utilization. 488 468 21 1,537 4,608 Q1 Q2 SCIE

This situation limits the industrial and economic development of these areas as well as the establishment of the population, so that it facilitates the exodus and the uprooting of people. At the moment the electrical energy supply in remote areas is based on solutions with generator sets, consuming great amounts of fuel with a great environmental damage. The technological development of renewable energies and the new concepts for their management, make possible proposing off-grid generation solutions for providing great amount of energy with high quality and reliability. Along this paper, a smart-grid configuration is proposed which is developed with products of proved reliability and which uses renewable energies as main generation source. This configuration allows having “standard” grid services anywhere, without the need of connection to the traditional grid. Environmental, economic and operation benefits of using these technologies against traditional solutions are also presented in this paper. This proposed solution allows the economical development and exploitation of areas where due to the lack of energy or to the energy cost it has not been possible until now.

However, ending 2014, with a worldwide power capacity installed of 177 GW, the integration level in the electricity generation mix was still far from the targets set up for this technology in the global warming mitigation strategies. Technical, financial and regulatory barriers slow down a massive penetration of photovoltaic generation facilities, hence practical and innovative measures are necessary to facilitate a wider deployment. The building integration of solar photovoltaic facilities offers an efficient solution because the electricity is generated near the consumption point and gives a new economic value to roofs and facades. In this paper we develop a scientist methodology for determining the potential in shopping centres, to establish that, in terms of photovoltaic integration, these present important competitive advantages over other alternatives, i.e. the residential buildings. The power capacity potential obtained making use of this methodology in the countries selected is 16,8 GW, that means 10% of the worldwide capacity installed at the end of 2014, with a yearly electricity generation of 22,7 TW h equivalent to 14% of the worldwide generation in 2014.

These two facts have given rise to the prominence that renewable energy, particularly solar photovoltaic technology, has enjoyed in recent years, supported by a favorable regulatory framework. Currently, the Spanish Government is providing new ways in energy policy to enhance and accelerate the development of low-power photovoltaic generation facilities for self-consumption by introducing energy policies for feed-in payments of surplus electricity. Such facilities are an example of distributed electrical generation with important benefits for the environment and the rest of the electrical system because, when properly managed, they can help improve the system’s stability and reduce overall losses. By analyzing household demand and solar photovoltaic energy resources, the profitability of such facilities is considered in this article, taking into account the technical and economic impact of storage systems and proposing models for feed-in payments of surplus electricity, in an attempt to assess whether this method of electricity generation versus the method of conventionally supplied power from a grid at a regulated tariff can rival each other economically, in terms of parity.

This implies the development of legislation and specific regulations that enable the research and development of these storage and management systems for hybrid systems. The research presented here aims to analyze the implementation of the SMES (Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) energy storage system for the future of electric vehicles. To do this, the need for a hybrid storage system has been taken into account, with several regulatory options, such as the reduction of rates or the promotion of private investments, which allow the technological development of EVs. What is sought is to achieve the market share proposed by the different countries to reduce Greenhouse Gases (GHG), according to their objectives. This approach must be taken from the legislative and regulatory perspective, specific to EVs and charging points, of several countries or regions with different cultures, management models and implementation potential, such as the United States of America (USA), Europe and China. This analysis is associated with the economic study of costs that this storage system may involve in the implementation of EVs to replace ICE vehicles, resulting in possible economic benefits as well as the environmental benefits of the use of EVs. In this analysis, the current high cost of using a hybrid system of these characteristics can be observed with the comparison of three EVs, as well as current data on GHG emissions produced by transport. All this leads to a series of advantages and disadvantages that must be taken into account in order to achieve the objectives that countries have in the coming decades of EV diffusion. 873 854 20 1,199 6,87 Q1 Q1 SCIE 10,3

Spain maintains a high level of energy dependence that can only be reduced by applying measures to increase energy efficiency and using massive amounts of renewable sources. In addition, the target assumed by Spain, i.e., to have at least 20% of the primary energy to be supplied by renewable sources by 2020, has not yet been reached. In Spain, wind farms, a number of which have been in commercial operation for over 15 years, offer a broad market appropriate for repowering. The use of more efficient wind turbines by means of repowering provides benefits to the electricity sector as a whole by optimizing the use of natural resources and facilitating the grid integration of the energy generated. This paper analyses existing wind farms to quantify and characterize the market suitable for repowering. We discuss whether repowering is a valid alternative from the point of view of feasibility to enable the continuation of the integration of wind energy in the Spanish energy mix and whether this feasibility is sufficient when the energy generated is charged at the electricity market price in terms of grid parity. The results support that repowering is a profitable alternative and is often even better than the construction of new wind farms under certain conditions.

Electric power losses are constantly present during the service life of wind farms and must be considered in the calculation of the income arising from selling the produced electricity. It is typical to estimate the electrical losses in the design stage as those occurring when the wind farm operates at rated power, nevertheless, it is necessary to determine a method for checking if the actual losses meet the design requirements during the operation period. In this paper, we prove that the electric losses at rated power should not be considered as a reference level and a simple methodology will be developed to analyse and foresee the actual losses in a set period as a function of the wind resource in such period, defined according to the Weibull distribution, and the characteristics of the wind farm electrical infrastructure. This methodology facilitates a simple way, to determine in the design phase and to check during operation, the actual electricity losses.

The earthquake destroyed approximately 105,000 homes, causing more than 2.3 million people to live as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Today, more than 1.3 million people still live in tents. Low cost buildings can provide a housing solution for these people. This paper proposes a low cost building solution intended for hot climates, using concrete as the only material. Due to the lack of facilities at these locations, no conventional energy or cooling systems can be installed; thus, only passive cooling technologies can be used to increase thermal comfort. A low cost cool roof and combined natural ventilation is proposed, and simulations show an improvement of 16% in the thermal conditions inside the building. The simulation is performed using the software package EnergyPlus and shows that cool roofs can be a good solution for improving living conditions in low cost houses for IDPs.

Sancristóbal; C. Pérez-Molina; M. Castro;Abstract The modern struggle to generate electricity reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions has found an ally in Smart Grid technology. This new trend involves a renewed perspective on how to generate, transmit, distribute and manage electricity networks, which not only helps to reduce power demand and cost, but can also improve efficiency, reliability, quality and security. This paper aims to study comprehensively the Smart Grid power system by comparing experiences and success stories from around the world. Developed countries, like the United States and those in the European Union, and developing countries, like India and Brazil, have been taken as examples of the current development and state of the Smart Grid concept. Europe and the U.S. lead the development of Smart Grids systems, while Brazil and India strongly depend on foreign technology and investment for their development in their countries. Climate change represents an extra challenge for developing countries, in addition to other issues related to economic and social advancement. Nevertheless, Smart Grids offer an array of possibilities and opportunities that work towards climate change international goals. However, state motivations and national energy resources limit the advancement of Smart Grids on this matter.

The system dissipates heat through a swimming pool, avoiding the need for a cooling tower. The system is fed using a solar thermal system with an area of 35.54 m 2 . The behavior of the system was monitored for a full year. The design and the calculations for the thermal requirements are presented, and the values of the coefficient of performance (COP) and the expected temperatures are compared with those obtained experimentally. This paper demonstrates that the actual values are slightly lower than the simulated values. The experiment has validated the possibility of using a swimming pool as a sink for heat dissipation. The economic analysis shows that the internal rate of return (IRR) reaches 12.45% while achieving a 68% reduction in greenhouse gasses GHG emissions. The results show that this approach can add great value to solar thermal energy systems while avoiding problems due to high temperatures during the summer months.

Thus, a feasible solution to maximize the performance of the solar power plant is the integration of battery energy storage systems. Although this configuration has been extensively studied in the existing literature, an optimal design method to determine the proper size and operation of the energy storage system needs to be developed. In this paper, a novel method to help power plants designers to determine the optimal battery energy storage capacity to integrate into any solar photovoltaic power plant is provided. The proposed algorithm minimizes the potential power curtailment and optimizes the utilization rate of the batteries storage system. The algorithm can be applied to any grid connected solar photovoltaic power plant under delivery power restrictions, regardless of power capacity and location. The algorithm has been implemented to a simulated power plant with delivery limitations based in a real case, and results with the optimal battery capacity show that the system would be able to recover up to the 83% of the curtailed energy and a yearly average capacity utilization of 56%. Moreover, the BESS operation has been validated with a scaled model run in Simulink and laboratory measurements, achieving 98% of curtailed energy recovery rate and a 57% of average capacity utilization. 488 468 21 1,537 4,608 Q1 Q2 SCIE

This situation limits the industrial and economic development of these areas as well as the establishment of the population, so that it facilitates the exodus and the uprooting of people. At the moment the electrical energy supply in remote areas is based on solutions with generator sets, consuming great amounts of fuel with a great environmental damage. The technological development of renewable energies and the new concepts for their management, make possible proposing off-grid generation solutions for providing great amount of energy with high quality and reliability. Along this paper, a smart-grid configuration is proposed which is developed with products of proved reliability and which uses renewable energies as main generation source. This configuration allows having “standard” grid services anywhere, without the need of connection to the traditional grid. Environmental, economic and operation benefits of using these technologies against traditional solutions are also presented in this paper. This proposed solution allows the economical development and exploitation of areas where due to the lack of energy or to the energy cost it has not been possible until now.

However, ending 2014, with a worldwide power capacity installed of 177 GW, the integration level in the electricity generation mix was still far from the targets set up for this technology in the global warming mitigation strategies. Technical, financial and regulatory barriers slow down a massive penetration of photovoltaic generation facilities, hence practical and innovative measures are necessary to facilitate a wider deployment. The building integration of solar photovoltaic facilities offers an efficient solution because the electricity is generated near the consumption point and gives a new economic value to roofs and facades. In this paper we develop a scientist methodology for determining the potential in shopping centres, to establish that, in terms of photovoltaic integration, these present important competitive advantages over other alternatives, i.e. the residential buildings. The power capacity potential obtained making use of this methodology in the countries selected is 16,8 GW, that means 10% of the worldwide capacity installed at the end of 2014, with a yearly electricity generation of 22,7 TW h equivalent to 14% of the worldwide generation in 2014.

These two facts have given rise to the prominence that renewable energy, particularly solar photovoltaic technology, has enjoyed in recent years, supported by a favorable regulatory framework. Currently, the Spanish Government is providing new ways in energy policy to enhance and accelerate the development of low-power photovoltaic generation facilities for self-consumption by introducing energy policies for feed-in payments of surplus electricity. Such facilities are an example of distributed electrical generation with important benefits for the environment and the rest of the electrical system because, when properly managed, they can help improve the system’s stability and reduce overall losses. By analyzing household demand and solar photovoltaic energy resources, the profitability of such facilities is considered in this article, taking into account the technical and economic impact of storage systems and proposing models for feed-in payments of surplus electricity, in an attempt to assess whether this method of electricity generation versus the method of conventionally supplied power from a grid at a regulated tariff can rival each other economically, in terms of parity.

This implies the development of legislation and specific regulations that enable the research and development of these storage and management systems for hybrid systems. The research presented here aims to analyze the implementation of the SMES (Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) energy storage system for the future of electric vehicles. To do this, the need for a hybrid storage system has been taken into account, with several regulatory options, such as the reduction of rates or the promotion of private investments, which allow the technological development of EVs. What is sought is to achieve the market share proposed by the different countries to reduce Greenhouse Gases (GHG), according to their objectives. This approach must be taken from the legislative and regulatory perspective, specific to EVs and charging points, of several countries or regions with different cultures, management models and implementation potential, such as the United States of America (USA), Europe and China. This analysis is associated with the economic study of costs that this storage system may involve in the implementation of EVs to replace ICE vehicles, resulting in possible economic benefits as well as the environmental benefits of the use of EVs. In this analysis, the current high cost of using a hybrid system of these characteristics can be observed with the comparison of three EVs, as well as current data on GHG emissions produced by transport. All this leads to a series of advantages and disadvantages that must be taken into account in order to achieve the objectives that countries have in the coming decades of EV diffusion. 873 854 20 1,199 6,87 Q1 Q1 SCIE 10,3

Spain maintains a high level of energy dependence that can only be reduced by applying measures to increase energy efficiency and using massive amounts of renewable sources. In addition, the target assumed by Spain, i.e., to have at least 20% of the primary energy to be supplied by renewable sources by 2020, has not yet been reached. In Spain, wind farms, a number of which have been in commercial operation for over 15 years, offer a broad market appropriate for repowering. The use of more efficient wind turbines by means of repowering provides benefits to the electricity sector as a whole by optimizing the use of natural resources and facilitating the grid integration of the energy generated. This paper analyses existing wind farms to quantify and characterize the market suitable for repowering. We discuss whether repowering is a valid alternative from the point of view of feasibility to enable the continuation of the integration of wind energy in the Spanish energy mix and whether this feasibility is sufficient when the energy generated is charged at the electricity market price in terms of grid parity. The results support that repowering is a profitable alternative and is often even better than the construction of new wind farms under certain conditions.
