Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesLas ciudades que necesitan almacenamiento de energía (baterías)podrán usar pronto DaimlerPublicada en SMART CITIES UPCOMING EVENTS, 13/11/2015.

Most renewable energy is intermittent. To be fully effective, therefore, it needs tobe teamed with energy storage.Until recently, energy storage has been tooexpensive. Now, however, prices are beginning to drop. Electric vehicle (EV)maker Tesla grabbed headlines a while back with the announcement of itsPowerwall battery for home use. Now Daimler is out with a clever community-scale offering. As you'll read, they are "recycling" old EV batteries to create a 13-megawatt system for the German city of Lünen.

High-tech equipment manufacturer Intevac has said it is experiencing some further interest from solar cell producersin Asia that have booked several new tool orders recently. Management noted in its third quarter earnings conferencecall that select solar cell producers in both China and Taiwan were considering some production capacity expansions,capacity relocations and technology upgrades for both n-type mono and multicrystalline PERC processes, afterrecent customer visits. The potential for further orders was also attributed to an unidentified equipment supplier beingcapacity constrained. Wendell Blonigan, president and CEO said on the earnings call: “It seems to me that there’s alot more renewed interest in putting in some capacity or moving some capacity or changing the technology. Certainly,I think the PERC cells, everybody seems to have a roadmap for p-type PERC and I think we’ve got one of theequipment manufacturers is on allocation right now on their aluminium oxide tools.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesPUBLICACIONES CIENTÍFICASDevelopment of a Smart Grid Simulation EnvironmentPublicada en ScienceDirect_Publications, 23/11/2015.

With the increased integration of renewable energy sources the interaction between energy producers andconsumers has become a bi-directional exchange. Therefore, the electrical grid must be adapted into a smart gridwhich effectively regulates this two-way interaction. With the aid of simulation, stakeholders can obtain information onhow to properly develop and control the smart grid. In this paper, we present the development of an integrated smartgrid simulation model, using the Anylogic simulation environment. Among the elements which are included in thesimulation model are houses connected to a renewable energy source, and batteries as storage devices. With theuse of the these elements a neighbourhood model can be constructed and simulated under multiple scenarios andconfigurations. The developed simulation environment provides users better insight into the effects of runningdifferent configurations in their houses as well as allow developers to study the inter-exchange of energy betweenelements in a smart city on multiple levels.

The performance of a modified solar still using hot air injection andPCMPublicada en Science Direct, 19/11/2015.

A double passes solar air collector–coupled modified solar still, with Phase Change Material (PCM), have beenexperimentally investigated to enhance the freshwater productivity. The influence of the injected hot air on theperformance of a modified still, with PCM, is investigated. A comparison between a modified still, with both PCM andhot air injection, and the conventional still is carried out to evaluate the enhancement in the freshwater productivity.The experiments were carried out under the same atmospheric conditions. The experimental results show that, thefreshwater productivity approximately reached 9.36 (L/m2 day) for the double passes solar air collector–coupledmodified solar still, with PCM, while its value is recorded 4.5 (L/m2 day) for the conventional still. The freshwaterproductivity of the double passes solar air collector–coupled modified solar still with PCM is 108% higher than that ofthe conventional still on average. This percentage is obtained during the period from June to July 2015 under theEgyptian climatic conditions.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesReduced order modeling and parameter identification of a buildingenergy system model through an optimization routinePublicada en ScienceDirect_Publications, 16/11/2015.

Different control techniques together with intelligent building technology (Building Automation Systems) are used toimprove energy efficiency of buildings. In almost all control projects, it is crucial to have building energy models withhigh computational efficiency in order to design and tune the controllers and simulate their performance. In this paper,a set of partial differential equations are formulated accounting for energy flow within the building space. Theseequations are then solved as conventional finite difference equations using Crank–Nicholson scheme. Such a modelof a higher order is regarded as a benchmark model. An optimization algorithm has been developed, depictedthrough a flowchart, which minimizes the sum squared error between the step responses of the numerical and theoptimal model. Optimal model of the construction element is nothing but a RC-network model with the values of Rsand Cs estimated using the non-linear time invariant constrained optimization routine.

Diamond encapsulated photovoltaics for transdermal powerdeliveryPublicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 16/11/2015.

A safe, compact and robust means of wireless energy transfer across the skin barrier is a key requirement forimplantable electronic devices. One possible approach is photovoltaic (PV) energy delivery using optical illuminationat near infrared (NIR) wavelengths, to which the skin is highly transparent. In the work presented here, asubcutaneously implantable silicon PV cell, operated in conjunction with an external NIR laser diode, is developed asa power delivery system. The biocompatibility and long-term biostability of the implantable PV is ensured through theuse of an hermetic container, comprising a transparent diamond capsule and platinum wire feedthroughs. Awavelength of 980 nm is identified as the optimum operating point based on the PV cell's external quantum efficiency,the skin's transmission spectrum, and the wavelength dependent safe exposure limit of the skin. In bench-topexperiments using an external illumination intensity of 0.7 W/cm2, a peak output power of 2.7 mW is delivered to theimplant with an active PV cell dimension of 1.5×1.5×0.06 mm3. This corresponds to a volumetric power outputdensity of 20 mW/mm3, significantly higher than power densities achievable using inductively coupled coil-basedapproaches used in other medical implant systems. This approach paves the way for further ministration of bionicimplants

We undertake a qualitative empirical study of the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry in order to investigate the role ofdiversity in stimulating innovation and diffusion. Based on evolutionary-economic concepts, we identify the maindimensions and components of diversity in the solar PV industry. Using nine indicators and additional informationabout recent developments regarding technologies, markets and actors (countries and firms), the dynamic potential isassessed for the various solar PV technologies. It is concluded that the dominant trend is an increase or maintenanceof diversity among solar PV technologies, which likely contributes positively to innovation and diffusion. We discussthe implications of taking into account the role of diversity of solar PV in the design of energy policies.

Increasing climate-related-energy penetration by integrating run-of-the river hydropower to wind/solar mixPublicada en Science Direct, 13/11/2015.

The penetration rate of Climate Related Energy sources like solar-power, wind-power and hydro-power source ispotentially low as a result of the large space and time variability of their driving climatic variables. Increasedpenetration rates can be achieved with mixes of sources. Optimal mixes, i.e. obtained with the optimal share for eachsource, are being identified for a number of regions worldwide. However, they often consider wind and solar poweronly. Based on 33 years of daily data (1980–2012) for a set of 12 European regions, we re-estimate the optimal mixwhen wild run-of-the-river energy is included in the solar/wind mix. It is found to be highly region dependent but thehighest shares are often obtained for run-of-the-river, ranging from 35% to 65% in Belarus and England. High solarshares (>40%) are found in southern countries but solar shares drop to less than 15% in northern countries. Windshares range from 10 to 35% with the exception of Norway where it reaches 50%. These results put in perspectivethe optimal 60%–40% wind/solar mix currently used for Europe. For all regions, including run-of-the-river in the mixallows increasing the penetration rate of CREs (from 1 to 8% points).

Despite the popularity of the subject, one surprising aspect of Building Automation (BA) is the scarcity of authoritativeliterature references regarding the topic. This situation hampers communication between developers and contributesto the well-known problem of heterogeneity where there is difficulty in integrating solutions from differentmanufacturers with each other. This article systematizes fundamental concepts and requirements of BA systems,defining each aspect based upon established literature standards. Using these aspects as guidelines, the main BAtechnology specifications available are then reviewed with respect to their coverage of features. We then proceed byshowing that none of the analyzed specifications are able to totally cover the expected standard functionality span ofBA. Finally, we conclude that none of the existing approaches are able to fully overcome the problem ofheterogeneity by satisfactorily addressing all the aspects of BA endorsed by the standards.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesElectric vehicles charging using photovoltaic: Status andtechnological reviewPublicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 13/11/2015.

The integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) into the electric vehicle (EV) charging system has been on the rise due toseveral factors, namely continuous reduction in the price of PV modules, rapid growth in EV and concerns over theeffects of greenhouse gases. Despite the numerous review articles published on EV charging using the utility (grid)electrical supply, so far, none has given sufficient emphasis on the PV charger. With the growing interest in thissubject, this review paper summarizes and update all the related aspects on PV–EV charging, which include thepower converter topologies, charging mechanisms and control for both PV–grid and PV-standalone/hybrid systems.In addition, the future outlook and the challenges that face this technology are highlighted. It is envisaged that theinformation gathered in this paper will be a valuable one-stop source of information for researchers working in thistopic.

The potential of agrivoltaic systemsPublicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 13/11/2015.

In order to meet global energy demands with clean renewable energy such as with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems,large surface areas are needed because of the relatively diffuse nature of solar energy. Much of this demand can bematched with aggressive building integrated PV and rooftop PV, but the remainder can be met with land-based PVfarms. Using large tracts of land for solar farms will increase competition for land resources as food productiondemand and energy demand are both growing and vie for the limited land resources. This land competition isexacerbated by the increasing population. These coupled land challenges can be ameliorated using the concept ofagrivoltaics or co-developing the same area of land for both solar PV power as well as for conventional agriculture. Inthis paper, the agrivoltaic experiments to date are reviewed and summarized.

Improving the energy efficiency of the existing building stock: Acritical review of commercial and institutional buildingsPublicada en ScienceDirect_LED, 11/11/2015.

The building stock in the world consumes approximately 40% of the energy and emits one third of the totalgreenhouse gases emissions (GHG). Improving the energy efficiency in buildings is vital to address the climatechange and achieve energy independence (i.e. to become net-zero energy). Improving energy performance inexisting buildings has been receiving significant attention recently, which entails reducing energy demand for buildingoperations, without affecting the health and comfort of its occupants. This approach requires strategies beyond meretechnical advancements. However, there is limited published literature which has comprehensively addressed theseissues.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesLife cycle cost of photovoltaic technologies in commercialbuildings in Baja California, MexicoPublicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 11/11/2015.

The appropriate use of photovoltaic technologies is essentially based on the identification of the available solarresource at the location in which they will be installed and the energy demand concerned. The purpose of this paperis to identify the geometric orientations that provide the best life-cycle cost for a multi-crystalline photovoltaic module,in order to supply electric energy for commercial buildings in three locations in Baja California, Mexico. The energyproduction of photovoltaic technologies was estimated on TRNSYS® according to a Typical Meteorological Year(TMY) simulated through spatial interpolation methods in Meteonorm®. Energy generation was compared in differentorientations and inclinations of the photovoltaic array, its cost was calculated from the grid of the Federal ElectricityCommission of Mexico. As a result, it was observed that in the city of Mexicali (hot-dry climate) the highest cost-benefit factor (3.17) and the shortest return on investment (13.02 years) was reached. The results showed that themulti-crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells represent a feasible investment option when installed in commercialbuildings.

Synthesis and photovoltaic performance of DPP-based smallmolecules with tunable energy levels by altering the molecularterminalsPublicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 11/11/2015.

Four novel small molecules, Ph(DPP-Th)2, Ph(DPP-Py)2, Ph(DPP-ThCN)2 and Ph(DPP-ThR)2 were synthesizedand characterized, in which diketopyrrolopyrrole-phenyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole was used as the core, donor units of 2-octylthiophene (Th), pyrene (Py), acceptor units octyl 2-cyano-3-(thiophen-2-yl)-acrylate (ThCN) and 3-octyl-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)rodanine (ThR) were used as the terminals, respectively. By changing the terminals of smallmolecules, their corresponding thermal, absorptive, electro-chemical and photovoltaic properties were rationallyadjusted for applications as donor materials in organic solar cells (OSCs). All of small molecules exhibit broadabsorption spectra from the visible to near-infrared region, and Ph(DPP-ThR)2 showed the minimum optical band gapof 1.48 eV. The small molecules with acceptor terminal units had much deeper HOMO energy levels than those withdonor terminal units, which is important to increase the open-circuit voltage (Voc).

Enhanced photovoltaic performance of back-illuminated dye-sensitized solar cell based on TiO2 nanoparticle/nanowirecomposite film in cobalt redox systemPublicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 05/11/2015.

In this study, we explore the use of various ratios of TiO2 nanoparticle (NP)/nanowire (NW) composite films in back-illuminated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on cobalt redox couples. TiO2 NPs provided sufficient surfaceareas for dye adsorption and TiO2 NWs helped efficient charge transport in NP/NW composite film. Furthermore,incorporation of NWs in TiO2 film makes it more porous, relaxing the limited mass transport of cobalt redox ions. As aresult, DSSCs with proper weight percentage of NW incorporated TiO2 NP/NW composite film showed a superiorphotovoltaic performance to DSSCs with pure TiO2 NPs film.

Spectroscopic and photoluminescence properties of MgO:Cr3+nanosheets for WLEDsPublicada en ScienceDirect_LED, 02/11/2015.

This work explores the synthesis of nanocrystalline MgO:Cr3+ (1–9 mol%) nanophosphors via solution combustionroute at 400 °C. The nanophosphors were well characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy.PXRD results confirm cubic phase and SEM micrographs indicate that the particles are highly porous andagglomerated. The TEM images show that the powder consists of spherical particles of size 5–15 nm. Upon 356 nmexcitation the emission profile of MgO:Cr3+ exhibits an emission peak at 677 nm due to 2Eg 4A2g transition. It wasobserved that PL intensity increases with increase in Cr3+ concentration and highest PL intensity was observed for 3mol% doped sample and afterward it decreases, attributed to concentration quenching. The resultant CIEchromaticity co-ordinates in the white region make the present phosphor highly useful for display applications andalso for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs).
