“…Sorgato, Schneider and Rüther (2018) mentioned that it is possible to meet the annual net energy demand of a commercial building respecting some specific conditions in BIPV systems. Debastiani et al (2020) recalled that the use of small wind turbines associated in a hybrid way with photovoltaic panels is not of great interest when evaluated on a commercial scale, but it may seem an attractive alternative when installed in isolated areas. Corroborating with the authors, Figueiredo Neto and Rossi (2019) mentioned that photovoltaic systems are considered a good alternative for the supply of energy in rural areas with indigenous communities and, as a consequence, they have caused significant improvements in local teaching conditions and in the community in general.…”

“…Although Brazil is particularly privileged due to its high levels of solar irradiance, due to the continental proportions and geographic location, its great potential for solar energy still has a discreet participation in the national electricity matrix (DEBASTIANI et al, 2020). According to the National Energy Balance (BEN, 2021) of the Energy Research Company (EPE), the share of solar energy in the domestic energy supply in 2020 was only 0.3%.…”

The objective of this study was to verify how photovoltaic solar energy in Brazil has been approached in the scientific literature. Therefore, searches were carried out in the ScienceDirect database, using the words "Brazilian and photovoltaic and energy" and limited by the type "review" and "research". A total of 160 articles were found, four were discarded, leaving 156 articles. Among the 156 articles, within the adopted classification, research was carried out on technologies and equipment; hybrid or complementary generation systems; power generation using buildings; laws, rules, regulations, tariffs; Marketplace; residential use of photovoltaic energy; comparison between energy sources; environmental impacts; education and training; and studies for a better location for the implementation of photovoltaic plants. What emerged from the research was the wide variety of topics, but especially the proposals for the use of photovoltaic solar energy sources, such as, for example, in hydroelectric power plant reservoirs and weirs; in the structure of commercial, residential, public buildings; on the roof of homes; hybrid systems associated with other sources, such as wind power; and in technology parks.

“…Consequently, research studies are to establish HRES incorporating different renewable technologies, such as PVs, Wind Turbines (WT), biomass, hydroelectric, 67 or even wave and tidal energy resources 68 . PVs and WTs have been examined and evaluated in several past studies, 69 proving that these two technologies are the two key players for HRES 70 . Other RES, such as hydroelectric, biomass, 71 and wave/tidal energy, 72 are less known to be used for HRES due to the buildup of the infrastructure, 73 their operational complexity, their immature technologies, the low expertise on the field, and their high initial capital 74 .…”

Summary Natural resources’ unexpected nature makes renewable energy sources’ power supply irregular and inflexible; weather conditions are impossible to be predicted. Energy storage systems are required to balance this green power supply and ensure both off‐grid and autonomous infrastructures' stability and reliability. Various energy storage technologies are available, but the high initial capital cost and the uncertainty regarding future cost and performance are critical bottlenecks for possible investors. Batteries are the most common energy storage means, while hydrogen storage is one of the least used options. This research attempts to conduct a comparative technoeconomic analysis between a hybrid renewable energy power plant combined with a hydrogen energy storage system and the implementation of the cold‐ironing technique. The test bed is the port of Milos, which is a Mediterranean island port. Thirteen scenarios were conceptualized, simulated, and assessed after examining and assessing the existing methods and technology using MATLAB and Homer Pro software. The economy of scale plays its role in this aspect as hydrogen storage systems' cost has been proven to be lower for larger infrastructures. Indicatively, the levelized cost of energy is significantly reduced for the two optimal scenarios, as there is a 41.3% decrease for the non‐cold‐ironing case and a 33.4% decrease for the cold‐ironing one. Moreover, the carbon footprint for the suggested systems of all the examined scenarios is almost diminished, paving the way forward for turning the port into a nearly Zero Energy Port. This study also helps to comprehend the technoeconomic characteristics of hydrogen‐based hybrid renewable energy systems for supporting the cold‐ironing technique. HIGHLIGHTS A systematic methodology is presented to introduce the cold‐ironing technique to a small Mediterranean port; Hydrogen‐based renewable energy systems are a sustainable and feasible solution toward the nZEP concept; An optimally sized hybrid renewable energy system guarantees the unhampered 24‐h port's operation; The suggested hybrid systems are capable of covering the port's energy needs fully even if the cold ironing is incorporated.

“…The optimal use of the produced energy can be assumed only if the produced wind and photovoltaic sources' maximum power are extracted and tracked for any change in the metrological conditions. Tools to track these specific points are required [22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

This paper deals with voltage control in a buck DC-DC converter. In fact, dynamic mathematical equations describing the principle behavior of the above system have been derived. Due to the nonlinearity of the established model, a nonlinear control algorithm is adopted. It is based on the sliding mode control approach. To highlight the performance of the latter, a comparative study with four control algorithms is carried out. The validity of the model and the performance of the conceived algorithms are verified in simulation. Both the system and the algorithm controls are implemented in the Matlab/Simulink environment. Extensive results under different operational conditions are presented and discussed.
