“…Currently, photovoltaics (PV) is developing very fast. The number of energy prosumers is growing every month [27][28][29][30][31]. The total electrical installed capacity of all RE installations in Poland exceeds 9500 MW in 2020, however the distribution of these installations is not regular throughout the country.…”

The topic of the article considers the functioning of the renewable energy (RE) sector in Poland. This is really important in the context of the energy transition of the national economy because it influences the creation of modern technologies and increases the competitiveness and innovation of the country. Poland is in a process of energy transition where the RE sector has been developing for two decades. The authors aimed to research the RE sector improvement possibilities in Poland, including the influence of this sector on chosen social and economic aspects. Because of this research’s aim a critical situation assessment of RE in Poland was conducted and a survey of a group of experts in this field was also involved. Legal, physical and mental determinants and their influence on RE sector were looked into. In the legal determinant context a necessity to simplify relevant legislation acts in Poland was found. Undoubtedly there is a need to improve several legal acts, including the Distance Act. In physical determinants it was found that solar, wind and biomass energy have the biggest chances for development. In the case of mental determinants the authors paid attention to the need of educating the public about using and obtaining energy. It is also important to make people aware how the RE sector influences the low emission economy positively. This will improve the creation of new jobs and reduce the emissions of harmful substances to the environment.

“…In order to do this, we needed to discuss basic capabilities, and our reference point for this was Nussbaum's list of 'central capabilities' [21] (pp. [33][34]. This is a list of 10 broad, non-overlapping capabilities, theoretically derived, which are intended to cover the irreducible, non-overlapping basic dimensions of a life of dignity that would allow an individual to flourish.…”

“…Off-grid lighting systems, using solar PV and LEDs with integrated battery storage, have been assessed in a number of studies [29][30][31][32][33][34], but these focus on cases of streets for motorized traffic, where luminance levels are higher than for pedestrian use. Reported costs are highly variable, which may be due to how many opex/capex factors have been considered, the timing of getting costs, and the pricing of goods in different markets.…”

A Capabilities-Led Approach to Assessing Technological Solutions for a Rural Community

et al. 2021

To improve access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy in rural areas of the global south, off-grid systems using renewable generation and energy storage are often proposed. However, solution design is often technology-driven, with insufficient consideration of social and cultural contexts. This leads to a risk of unintended consequences and inappropriate systems that do not meet local needs. To address this problem, this paper describes the application of a capabilities-led approach to understanding a community’s multi-dimensional energy poverty and assessing their needs as they see them, in order to better design suitable technological interventions. Data were collected in Tlamacazapa, Mexico, through site visits and focus groups with men and women. These revealed the ways in which constrained energy services undermined essential capabilities, including relating to health, safety, relationships and earning a living, and highlighted the specific ways in which improved energy services, such as lighting, cooking and mechanical power could improve capabilities in the specific context of Tlamacazapa. Based on these findings, we propose some potential technological interventions to address these needs. The case study offers an illustration of an assessment method that could be deployed in a variety of contexts to inform the design of appropriate technological interventions.

“…To verify the feasibility of the developed prototype LED seaport luminaire in seaport lighting application, the light distribution characteristics of the fabricated prototype LED seaport luminaire with conventional HID seaport luminaires were analyzed using Relux software [27,28]. In this analysis, for the conventional HID luminaires, a metal halide luminaire with a rated power of 1000 W and a high-pressure sodium luminaire with a rated power of 1000 W were considered, even though the rated power of the prototype of the LED luminaire is 500 W. In the simulation, 48 luminaires for the single high mask at each corner (192 luminaries in total) were considered for each type of luminaire.…”

Analysis on High-Power Seaport LED Luminaire with Uniform Light Distribution Based on Optimized Lens and Heatsink

2021

In the case of light-emitting diode (LED) seaport luminaires, they should be designed in consideration of glare, average illuminance, and overall uniformity. Although it is possible to implement light distribution through auxiliary devices such as reflectors, it means increasing the weight and size of the luminaire, which reduces the feasibility. Considering the special environment of seaport luminaires, which are installed at a height of 30 m or more, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the device, facilitate replacement, and secure a light source with a long life. In this paper, an optimized lens design was investigated to provide uniform light distribution to meet the requirement in the seaport lighting application. Four types of lens were designed and fabricated to verify the uniform light distribution requirement for the seaport lighting application. Using numerical analysis, we optimized the lens that provides the required minimum overall uniformity for the seaport lighting application. A theoretical analysis for the heatsink structure and shape were conducted to reduce the heat from the high-power LED light sources up to 250 W. As a result of these analyses on the heat dissipation characteristics of the high-power LED light source used in the LED seaport luminaire, the heatsink with hexagonal-shape fins shows the best heat dissipation effect. Finally, a prototype LED seaport luminaire with an optimized lens and heat sink was fabricated and tested in a real seaport environment. The light distribution characteristics of this prototype LED seaport luminaire were compared with a commercial high-pressure sodium luminaire and metal halide luminaire.
