Reducing environmental pollution caused by traditional mobility solutions, such as combustion vehicles, requires a deep dive into sustainable mobility. Consequently, promoting electric vehicles (EVs) constitutes a long-hanging fruit for establishing a route map for decarbonizing city mobility. Nevertheless, several tasks require urgent attention to allow EV technology to deploy in cities. For instance, optimal locations of charging stations for EVs by considering a multicriteria approach are urgently required. This work studies the most feasible alternatives for locating and implementing EV chargers (EVC) in Azogues, Ecuador. This study applies Promethee multicriteria method, considering three different location alternatives in the city and four criteria that will be divided into ten subcriteria for the analysis. First, the multi-objective function´s weighting factors were established using three weighting methods: equal weighting, point allocation, and critical weighting. Once the matrix of sub-criteria with their weights was established, Visual Promethee, which works with Promethee II, was applied to establish the optimal candidate site. The results of this optimization analysis indicate an optimal location for the EVC.

This study aims to present the results of applying a computational tool developed to perform a technical-economic feasibility analysis of a large-scale Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR) solar power plant. The viability analysis indicators were obtained considering that the electricity produced trades at the Regulated Contracting Environment of the Brazilian Electricity Market. The parametric structural optimization method is used to optimize the technical parameters of the plant. A case study was conducted to analyze the viability of Implementing a 100 MW LFR power plant in the five regions of Brazil. The results indicated that Northeastern is the best region to install this power plant. However, the project is not viable in all cities analyzed. A sensitivity analysis (SA) of some strategically selected variables was conducted to evaluate its impacts on the project's net present value of an optimized LFR plant located in the city with the best technical performance. Finally, an optimistic scenario was evaluated considering the net present value's response to the parameters investigated in the SA. For this scenario, the results indicated the project's economic viability.

Regulating indoor humidity levels to healthy ranges is important to provide occupants with acceptable thermal comfort and air quality conditions. Conventional techniques relied on the supply of dehumidified outdoor air to dilute the indoor generated moisture. They use vapor compression cooling either as standalone system or integrated with desiccant dehumidifiers to generate the dry air. Such systems are energy intensive and require large footprint areas, especially in hot and humid climates. This work proposes thus an energy-efficient alternative where the indoor humidity is pumped directly from the space and discharged outdoors. This system integrates a metal organic framework-based dehumidifier with the building breathable façade. The dehumidifier dries the outdoor air that is used to ventilate the façade and create the necessary driving gradient for the moisture transfer, irrespective of the outdoor air conditions. Mathematical models are developed to evaluate the system performance for an office space located in the extreme hot and humid climate of Jeddah, KSA. The proposed system resulted in 89 % and 90 % reduction in the system size and energy consumption compared to conventional systems over the peak humidity month.

In this paper, we use MHOGA software for the evaluation of adding pumped hydro storage (PHS) for energy arbitrage in utility-scale PV generating systems. PHS is used for electricity price arbitrage, pumping water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir with the PV generation during hours of low electricity price and generating electricity by means of the stored water with the turbine during hours of high price (during these hours the PV generator also injects its production to the grid). The control strategy creates setpoints for the use of the pump and the turbine, trying to obtain the maximum benefits from the electricity sold to the grid, maximizing the net present value (NPV). An example of application is shown, obtaining conclusions about the economical viability of the PV-PHS system compared to the PV-only system: in the case studied in this work, it is not worth to add PHS to the PV system.

In recent years, the efforts of countries to reach agreements on the development of cross-border electricity interconnection have intensified because they optimize energy resources and constitute the most significant instantaneous support for the security and continuity of electricity supply. In addition, interconnections play a key role in the integration of electricity markets. However, the planning of European electricity infrastructures constitutes complex analyses due to the large number of factors involved. This article applies a multicriteria methodology for the evaluation and prioritization of cross-border interconnection projects with the simulation of different scenarios, in total 12 scenarios, to study the effect of changes in the selected criteria on the results obtained. To test the defined methodology, the variation in the weight of different criteria in the assessment of a new cross-border electrical interconnection project between Spain and France is studied. It was verified that the tool is coherent and that the analysis developed improves the understanding of such large and complex projects and can facilitate the prioritization of project portfolios with a clear and explicit method.

The substantial rise in Oman's load in recent years prompted researchers to investigate ways to reduce the construction of new power plants. Reducing the electricity consumption during the peak hours will provide the flexibility to lower the need of the generation units to be added on the system. This paper aims to find out the energy saving potential from the residential sector of Oman, specifically Main Interconnected System (MIS) load. Usually, the annual report circulated by the Authority for Public Service Regulation (APSR) provides the statistics of demand consumed. It states that about 45.2% accounts for residential consumption in 2021. A survey from different papers that emphasize the valuable contribution of energy savings from the residential sector is carried out. WASP-IV software is used to conduct the optimization generation expansion plan for a 20-year period. Another case is studied for the 25.2% decrease in home building consumption. The methodology is explained, as are the assumptions and constraints of the study. The results show a noticeable decrease in the total generation cost, environmental cost, and LOLP percentage for the energy saving case study compared with the base case.

This paper is presented in regard to the interesting continuous interest attributed to photovoltaic energy systems (PESs). To this aim, a study of an isolated photovoltaic system with hybrid storage (HS) is presented. Supercapacitors (SCs) are typically used because of their high specific power density.. Combining batteries and supercapacitors is a solution to maximize their benefits. In this work, the HS is a combinaison of batteries and supercapacitors. The goal of this work is to build a new management algorithm. This aforementioned technique will ensure the control of energy flow between system power sources. Furthermore, it will regulate the charge/discharge cycles of the proposed HS by maintaining their state of charge (SOC) between a desired minimum and maximum values. The proposed method is simple, efficient and it is not computationally heavy. The obtained simulation results are satisfactory and show the interest and effectiveness of the proposed management strategy.

In the Hungarian electricity system, as well as in other European countries, the share of renewable based production is increasing. These power generating modules do not contain rotating masses like those of traditional synchronous power generating modules which creates new challenges on the electric grid with respect to system stability and frequency control. The distribution system operators (DSOs) of the different countries need to cope with this problem and set frequency, voltage thresholds and robustness requirements for the electricity generating power plants. This project aims to create specific requirements for the Hungarian generators considering the former implementations of other countries (UK, Germany, Denmark and Finland). The different requirements of these foreign areas are introduced in a benchmark study, which is the first essential part of the whole project. Such implementations are only partially defined for Hungary; therefore, in some cases it is necessary to use the implementations of other foreign countries which have similar grid characteristics and are dealing with the same control and operation challenges. Another important milestone of this work besides the benchmark study is to present a validation guide for the Hungarian transmission system operator (TSO) that can be sent directly to the operators of electric power generating modules with six different types. These guides contain compliance tests for the power plants to examine whether they meet the requirements of grid connection or not.

Initiatives have been launched by the EU to address climate change, including those aimed at islands and municipalities. Analysing the impact of the energy transition through modelling is essential for the strategic decision-making process to move forward to the ET. The new energy model requires municipalities to be key drivers, although their needs are very specific and depend on external factors such as their own governance. In the case of municipalities located on tourist islands, the need for tools and support for the creation of energy and sustainable transition plans is even more evident. Currently, methods and models have been developed for energy planning or for the assessment of different energy scenarios, but there is no model that integrates a multidimensional approach at the municipal level, enhances the decisions of policymakers, integrates a knowledge base specifically focused on islands and monitors the progress of local measures through energy indicators. This paper reviews the state of existing decisionmaking models and energy tools, specifically those aimed at islands and policymakers, and identifies the gaps to generate added value to facilitate the path to ET for island tourist municipalities and monitor their progress.
