“…Inland areas and mountainous terrains in Spain and Portugal often experience favorable wind conditions, allowing for the establishment of wind farms away from the coast. Spain and Portugal benefit from abundant wind resources, not only along the coast but also inland [115]. These favorable wind conditions make wind energy a viable and attractive option for electricity generation, even in regions without direct coastal access.…”

The aim of this article is to present solutions related to wind energy in EU countries as an alternative to fossil fuels. This article is based on secondary information and statistical data regarding the development of wind power engineering in EU countries for the years 2016–2022. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze of the relations between the development of wind energy in European Union countries and GPD (gross domestic product) per capita and selected factors. The following hypotheses were formulated: H1—There is a statistically significant correlation between GDP per capita and the use of wind energy in European Union countries. H2—There is a relationship between the length of the coastline and the use of wind energy in European Union countries. H3—There is a statistically significant correlation between the attitude to uncertainty of the inhabitants of a given country and the use of wind energy in said country. The presented research results support all these hypotheses. The results of the research regarding H2 are as follows: in the case of northern European countries (Ireland and Finland) and the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the development of wind power engineering in the study period was faster than could be inferred from the length of the coastline in these countries. Regarding hypothesis H1, it was concluded on the basis of the analysis that the involvement of countries in the development of wind power engineering is correlated with their wealth. The novelty of this paper emerges from its innovative approach to analyzing wind power engineering, its incorporation of cultural factors, its quantitative assessment of correlations, and its actionable policy recommendations. These elements collectively contribute to a comprehensive and impactful study that advances our understanding of wind energy adoption in the European Union.

“…If we analyse the particular case of Spain, it has a great potential for the installation of these renewable resources. Specifically, in [55], a replicable, multi-criteria spatial approach based on a geographical information system to estimate the potential of solar PV, wind, and BM energy technologies that could be implemented in the short-term in a given territory is shown. The results of this work show that the combination of these resources could generate 3.8 times the current electricity consumption of the municipality and would only require 1.5% of the total area of the municipality.…”

Optimising a Biogas and Photovoltaic Hybrid System for Sustainable Power Supply in Rural Areas

et al. 2023

This paper proposes a method for evaluating the optimal configuration of a hybrid system (biomass power plant and photovoltaic plant), which is connected to the electrical grid, to achieve minimum energy costs. The study is applied to a small rural municipality in the Valencian Community, Spain, as an energy community. The approach takes into account the daily energy demand variation and price curves for energy that are either imported or exported to the grid. The optimal configuration is determined by the highest internal rate of return (IRR) over a 12-year period while providing a 20% discount in electricity prices for the energy community. The approach is extrapolated to an annual period using the statistical data of sunny and cloudy days, considering 23.8% of the year as cloudy. The methodology provides a general procedure for hybridising both plants and the grid to meet the energy needs of a small rural population. In the analysed case, an optimal combination of 140 kW of rated power from the biogas generator was found, which is lower than the maximum demand of 366 kW and 80 kW installed power in the photovoltaic plant, resulting in an IRR of 6.13% over 12 years. Sensitivity studies for data variations are also provided.

“…Para la selección de las tecnologías se consideraron aquellas que representa un mayor porcentaje en las estructuras de generación eléctrica de ambos países, ya que se entiende que cuentan con un mayor potencial y con posibilidades de implementación en el corto plazo. Para la selección de las posibles localizaciones, se tomó como referencia estudios realizados en la provincia de Jaén sobre el potencial de EERR con que cuenta la provincia de Jaén y que es factible de integrar a la red eléctrica en el corto plazo (Ruiz-Arias et al, 2012;Osorio-Aravena et al, 2022).…”

Si bien la aceptación general a las energías renovables en Europa es alta, esta percepción es amenudo muy diferente en el contexto local donde se ubican los proyectos energéticos renovables, lo quepuede suponer un obstáculo para la transición energética. Este artículo, a través de una encuestaestructurada para dos casos de estudio europeos, provincia de Jaén (España) y condado de Somogy(Hungría), pretende mostrar los factores que influyen en la percepción y aceptación de la sociedad a lasenergías renovables. Los resultados fueron analizados estadísticamente correlacionando variables“aceptabilidad” “localización” y “tecnologías” a través de tablas de contingencia y pruebas noparamétricas como χ² de Pearson y V de Cramer. Las pruebas aplicadas muestran una alta aceptabilidad atodas las tecnologías y localizaciones propuestas, con preferencia por instalaciones solares fotovoltaicasy tamaños medios, en espacios no cultivados o ambientalmente degradados.
