“…In ref. [7] a multi-year GEP model is proposed, which seeks to limit the water consumption of thermal power generation while planning the capacity-generation mix for Iran's power system. In this regard, selecting appropriate cooling systems for thermal units and utilising renewable resources are two main tools for the limitation of water resources.…”

The operational flexibility of electric energy systems is one of the essential requirements for integrating a high share of renewable resources. The operational flexibility significantly impacts the mix of new power generation technologies. In this paper, a low‐carbon generation expansion planning (GEP) model is presented to investigate the impacts of flexibility requirements of power systems with a high share of wind energy. An improved clustered unit commitment (CUC) formulation is proposed to capture the flexibility limitation of thermal generating units fully. In this regard, clustered 10‐min ramp up/down limits for operational reserves, flexible‐ramp reserves, and contingency reserves, are introduced. The yearly variations of load and renewable generations preserving the chronological time correlations are included, considering 36 representative days obtained by the clustering approach. Besides, two types of BES devices are considered to investigate the role of BES in the provision of flexibility. The proposed flexible low‐carbon GEP model is formulated as a mixed‐integer programming model, and an optimal expansion plan is obtained using the CPLEX algorithm. By incorporating improved CUC formulation into the low‐carbon GEP model, more profound insight into power systems' flexibility requirement with high wind generation penetration is obtained.

“…Projections towards the future accessibility of available water resources estimate that by 2025 some 60% of world's population will be living under water stress, using only 20% of the available resources, of which some ∼800 million will lack access to safe drinking water [5,[9][10][11]. The regions which struggle most for fresh water access are developing countries and arid regions, countries which face problems such as erosion, deforestation and other forms of land degradation [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], but in recent years also industrialized countries, due to improper land use, faulty waste disposal, releases of industrial pollutants, fertilizer runoff and supra-salinity in coastal regions [20][21][22][23].…”

Potential Solutions for the Water Shortage Using Towers of Fog Collectors in a High Andean Community in Central Ecuador

The lack of water is a fundamental issue for survival of peasant communities located at heights above 3200 masl in the Andean highlands, such as in the case of the Galte-Yaguachi community in central Ecuador. The social balance, agricultural development as well as animal subsistence and finally the economic income is pending on the availability of hydric resources. Therefore, a three-dimensional fog collector system was constructed with Urku Yaku material in order to provide water for the close-by community. Simultaneously, we determined the quality of the collected water per square meter of the mesh, during the period of the highest annual precipitations. The installed nets yielded a gain of at least 2.63 L/m2 and a minimum of 0.65 L/m2 per day. The analyzed water quality reflected the suitability for human consumption. As water collection has been successful, an expansion of the proposed system may provide this fundamental good also to other communities with similar characteristics. Fog catcher towers will produce 26,577.84 m3/year of water, fulfilling crops’ needs, and the economic analysis proves it is worth the investment, as demonstrated by a benefit cost ratio of 1.90.
