The effects of introducing natural gas in the Canary Islands for electricity generation

Análise comparativa da eficiência energética entre os ciclos de vida do gás natural veicular comprimido e da energia termelétrica a gás para uso final em automóveis leves

“…Segundo Handa e Yoshida (2007), a eficiência energética final obtida para o ciclo de vida do GNC para geração de eletricidade e uso final em veículos elétricos a bateria é 29%, próximo dos 27,5% apresentados neste trabalho. Ramos-Real et al (2007) informam que a eficiência da termelétrica de ciclo combinado pode variar de acordo com a taxa de operação, quanto mais horas se opera, maior é a eficiência obtida. Esta variação ficou entre 45% e 60%.…”

Towards Renewable-Dominated Power Systems Considering Long-Term Uncertainties: Case Study of Las Palmas

“…The potential of biomass in the Canary Islands has been assessed in [13]. The influence of natural gas in the future power system of the Canary Islands has been investigated in [14,15]. Planning and operating different isolated power systems have been studied in recent years.…”

Electricity generation cost in isolated system: The complementarities of natural gas and renewables in the Canary Islands

“…First, not only should the average cost of each alternative be considered, but also the associated risk, measured in terms of 1 Plan de Ahorro y Eficiencia Energética 2004-2012, Plan de Energías Renovables 2011-2020. 2 www.gobcan.es/cicnt/doc/industriayenergia/energia/pecan/pecan.pdf 3 Ramos-Real and Afonso (2005) and Ramos-Real et al (2007) study the generation costs of fossil technologies in the Canaries. In this paper, we expand that study to a larger number of technologies using updated data.…”
