“…Consequently, the Paris Agreement is the opportunity to strengthen the bond between today's policies and climate-neutrality before the end of the century [3]. The development of REs is a relevant item to achieve the targets, considering that more than half of the world's current CO 2 emissions are due to burning fossil fuels [4]. The relationship among energy consumption, emissions, and economic growth is well defined in the literature [5].…”

Future Trajectories of Renewable Energy Consumption in the European Union

2018

Renewable energy sources (RESs) are able to reduce the European Union (EU)'s dependence on foreign energy imports, also meeting sustainable objectives to tackle climate change and to enhance economic opportunities. Energy management requires a quantitative analysis and the European Commission follows the performance of each Member State (MS) in order to define the corrective measures towards 2020 targets. Starting from historical data reported in the Eurostat database and through a mathematical model, this work proposes future trajectories towards 2020 of the share of energy from renewables (REs) in terms of gross final energy consumption (GFEC). Furthermore, a quantitative analysis based on two indices-(i) the share of REs in GFEC, and (ii) gross final renewable energy consumption (GFREC) per capita-permits a comparison among 28 MSs. The share of REs in GFEC in EU 28 varies from 19.4% to 21.8% in future trajectories towards 2020. Sweden and Finland occupy the top part of the ranking, while six MSs (Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) are not able to reach the 2020 targets.

“…The incorporation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems into electrical grids has extraordinarily increased in the recent years, mainly due to the attractive installation cost, driven policies and the relevance of the environmental issues in some countries. Annual new solar PV system installations increased from 29.5 GW in 2012 to 79.4 GW in 2016, reaching a total cumulative grid connected PV installed capacity near to 440 GWp [2], [3].…”

In the last few years, rising environmental concerns and especially, cost reductions that photovoltaic technology has experienced, have led to an unprecedented increase in the deployment of photovoltaic systems all over the world. Although nowadays most of the installed photovoltaic capacity is due to utility-scale plants, medium-and small-scale plants connected to distribution systems are becoming increasingly more frequent. Distribution networks were originally designed assuming a centralized operation, and the growing penetration of distributed generators is arising both technical and regulatory issues. In this work, we summarize different approaches from the technical and framework point of view.

Several algorithms have been developed for building-attached photovoltaic system (BAPV) planning in educational institute based on PV capacity. Fewer studies on optimization algorithms for BAPV system planing on campus have been reported which considers a technoeconomic assessment. Therefore, a well-known robust algorithm is used as an optimization technique of BAPV system and considers technoeconomic assessment on campus. This paper presents a combination of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) with fuzzy theory (fuzzy AHP) for selecting a suitable and optimal design of BAPV system on academic campus. The BAPV system design is based on roof area and load profile at the project site. Five BAPV systems have been designed using five different types of PV. The design was comprehensively assessed by experts through a questionnaire with pairwise comparison model. Fuzzy AHP used to consider the qualitative and quantitative assessments that can affect the selection process. The comprehensive assessment in criteria consists of sizing systems, technical, economic, and environmental perspectives as criteria. The perspective is divided into 13 subcriteria. The results show degree of importance from the criteria-based fuzzy AHP as follows: technical > economic > environment > sizing system. Based on the assessment of criteria and subcriteria, design with monocrystalline is most suitable and polycrystalline as the least suitable design for BAPV system connected to grid and battery energy storage system in case study.
