“…was taken from the PV panel datasheet (Table 2). For estimating the derating factor, the mismatch (1%), the inverter losses (4%), wiring losses (1%), module quality loss (1%), soiling (1%), and shading (15%) were taken into account [31]. Temperature losses are estimated hour by hour in HOMER through the coefficient of power, the Nominal Operating Cell Temperature (NOTC), and ambient temperature.…”

“…Consequently, it becomes essential to explore the existing possibilities to cover the electricity needs only with totally renewable generation sources and with the assistance of the mentioned storage technologies. Different models are currently used to simulate microgrid and energy demand responses [30][31][32]. The Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) has been used to carry out this comparative analysis of the different systems.…”

The decarbonization of the electric generation system is fundamental to reaching the desired scenario of zero greenhouse gas emissions. For this purpose, this study describes the combined utilization of renewable sources (PV and wind), which are mature and cost-effective renewable technologies. Storage technologies are also considered (pumping storage and mega-batteries) to manage the variability in the generation inherent to renewable sources. This work also analyzes the combined use of renewable energies with storage systems for a total electrification scenario of Grand Canary Island (Spain). After analyzing the natural site’s resource constraints and focusing on having a techno-economically feasible, zero-emission, and low-waste renewable generation mix, six scenarios for 2040 are considered combining demand response and business as usual. The most optimal solution is the scenario with the maximum demand response, consisting of 3700 MW of PV, around 700 MW of off-shore wind system, 607 MW of pump storage, and 2300 MW of EV batteries capacity. The initial investment would be EUR 8065 million, and the LCOE close to EUR 0.11/kWh, making the total NPC EUR 13,655 million. The payback is 12.4 years, and the internal rate of return is 6.39%.

“…Therefore, more it is imperative to apply more sustainable resources to mitigating these destructive processes [66]. Renewable energy resources, such as wind [67], solar [68], biomass [69] and geothermal energy [70], as well as other sources [71], can provide an economic and ecological alternative to fossil fuels to satisfy the increasingly global energy demand. Meanwhile, the control of decarbonization also requires the utilization of new technologies and energy sources [72].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the supply chains of traditional fossil fuels. According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) from 2020, oil-refining activity fell by more than the IEA had anticipated. It was also assumed that the demand in 2021 would likely be 2.6 million bpd below the 2019 levels. However, renewable markets have shown strong resilience during the crisis. It was determined that renewables are on track to meet 80% of the growth in electricity demand over the next 10 years and that sustainable energy will act as the primary source of electricity production instead of coal. On the other hand, the report also emphasized that measures for reducing environmental pollution and CO2 emissions are still insufficient and that significant current investments should be further expanded. The Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) conference series is dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for improving the sustainability of development by decoupling growth from the use of natural resources. The 15th SDEWES conference was held online from 1–5 September 2020; more than 300 reports with 7 special sections were organized on the virtual conference platform. This paper presents the major achievements of the recommended papers in the Special Issue of Energies. Additionally, related studies connected to the above papers published in the SDEWES series are also introduced, including the four main research fields of energy saving and emission reduction, renewable energy applications, the development of district heating systems, and the economic assessment of sustainable energy.

“…Varios esfuerzos se han hecho para aprovechar los residuos biomásicos de la industria de la palma africana, siendo el uso como energéticos en los procesos de producción del aceite el de mayor aplicación; sin embargo, las cantidades requeridas son mínimas frente a los grandes volúmenes de residuos generados, por tanto, no es una solución de fondo a pesar que hay una sustitución de combustibles fósiles y, por ende, una disminución de los gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). En los últimos años las investigaciones referidas a la generación energética derivada de la biomasa han tomado gran interés (Ribó-Pérez et al, 2021;Hernández et al, 2017;Cabrera et al, 2011), ya que se ha constituido como un importante recurso renovable que posee propiedades interesantes como la recirculación ecológica de los GEI y la reconversión de un residuo en recurso energético con bajos costos de producción. Uno de las principales variantes del uso energético de la biomasa residual es la preparación de briquetas, debido a que es una forma eficiente y sustentable de aprovechar estos residuos (Mitchual et al, 2014).…”

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las condiciones térmicas, ambientales y económicas mínimas para utilizar briquetas de raquis de la palma de aceite como sustituto de la leña en comunidades campesinas de la zona alfarera en el norte del departamento del Cesar, Colombia. Se plantea la construcción de una prensa sencilla para elaboración de briquetas. Se caracteriza el raquis físico-químicamente y biológicamente y se comparan los contenidos energéticos de la briqueta y la leña nativa de la zona. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los parámetros evaluados de las briquetas son similares a los de la leña nativa, siendo la relación másica de CO/CO2 superior en la briqueta que en la cocción de ladrillos. El costo de una briqueta de 90 g es de $5.5 pesos colombianos (COP). Se concluye que el reemplazo de la leña nativa por briquetas de raquis es un sustituto alternativo para aminorar la deforestación en la zona alfarera del norte del departamento del Cesar.
