“…In Equations (15) and (16), y hub refers to the hub height of the wind turbine, and GF is the gust factor defined by the IEC standard as 1.4. Both equations take into account the average variation of the wind direction within −15 • and 15 • [60].…”

“…By composing a hybrid system that integrates wind generation and other renewable sources, including a storage system such as a battery bank [15], it is possible to meet the energy demand of a region [159]. Koutroulis et al [160] found that systems composed of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines and battery banks (BB) meet the demand of unconnected sectors to transmission networks, even achieving lower values in capital and maintenance costs than systems that have only PV or WT.…”

“…Many in-service water resources and hydropower plants are in the aging stage, being sedimentation a significant issue in the watershed of reservoirs around the world [12], following the implementation of strategies for its management [13]. On the other hand, thermoelectric plants energy costs are dominated by fuel prices volatility, and at the same time, are a growing source of Greenhouse Gases despite some efforts to use alternative fuels [14], thermal energy storage [15] and waste heat recovery technologies [16,17] that provide valuable energy sources reducing the overall energy consumption.…”

Small Wind Turbines (SWTs) are promissory for distributed generation using renewable energy sources; however, their deployment in a broad sense requires to address topics related to their cost-efficiency. This paper aims to survey recent developments about SWTs holistically, focusing on multidisciplinary aspects such as wind resource assessment, rotor aerodynamics, rotor manufacturing, control systems, and hybrid micro-grid integration. Wind resource produces inputs for the rotor’s aerodynamic design that, in turn, defines a blade shape that needs to be achieved by a manufacturing technique while ensuring structural integrity. A control system may account for the rotor’s aerodynamic performance interacting with an ever-varying wind resource. At the end, the concept of integration with other renewable source is justified, according to the inherent variability of wind generation. Several commercially available SWTs are compared to study how some of the previously mentioned aspects impact performance and Cost of Electricity (CoE). Understanding these topics in the whole view may permit to identify both tendencies and unexplored topics to continue expanding SWTs market.

“…This is why phase change materials (PCM), compounds with a key role in LTES, become important to achieve more efficient energetic system. A recent overview on the state-of-the-art of TES, especially LTES and PCM, is found in the works of Jouhara et al [ 3 ] and Elias et al [ 4 ]. Important innovative milestones are currently being reached towards a better management of concentrated solar power plants through the use of PCM [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Evolution of the Study of Phase Diagram of Binary and Ternary Mixtures Involving Fatty Acid Esters

et al. 2021

Interest in phase change materials keeps on rising as thermal energy storage grows in popularity in the scientific community as a promising complement for renewable energies in the future. Extending the possibilities beyond pure compounds, the use of mixtures (especially eutectics) widens the range of suitable phase change materials (PCM) available in the market. However, a precise knowledge of the mixtures’ phase behavior is required, making phase diagrams the most appropriate tools to follow. The aim of this work is to collect and analyze published literature concerning the phase diagrams of fatty acid esters mixtures, which constitute promising candidates as PCM due to their attractive properties, such as high latent heat, chemical stability and the possibility of extracting them from vegetable and animal oils. The topic appears as a still open scientific field, where further studies need to be performed to complete, complement and perfect the currently available information.

“…These papers describe recent research on enhancements in heat transfer characteristics of PCM substances; developments in material-based properties; numerical modeling of latent heat storage problems; and integration of PCM-based TES systems as a passive, active, and free cooling technique in buildings. [19][20][21][22] Numerous research articles have examined PCMs integrated into building envelope components to improve the space thermal comfort and energy performance. Other studies investigated dynamic properties, life cycle cost implications, and performance of PCMs on buildings' interior surfaces.…”

Thermal energy storage systems in building cooling applications have been explored extensively as a peak load-shifting technology. Thermal energy storage performance has been recognized and studied from an energy cost-savings point of view because of peak-valley price differences, but not many studies have been conducted from an energy savings viewpoint. This study experimentally investigates the performance of the energy storage-retrofitted to a ceilingtype radiant cooling system. To study the performance, a water-based storage system was designed and developed for an academic office building equipped with a radiant cooling system. The water in the storage tank was cooled to a certain storage temperature in the nighttime, and the same water was used during the daytime for meeting the cooling load. Different combinations of charging and discharging schedules were analyzed. The key objective of the study was to achieve energy savings and energy-cost savings simultaneously. This objective was accomplished by identifying the major factors contributing to the energy consumption of the storage-retrofitted cooling system and devising novel operating strategies, leading to an enhanced energy savings potential. Two operating strategies comprising 24 operating scenarios were compared and the storage was used to dispatch the load for 3 hours of the day as a full storage unit. Results showed that in hot and dry climate conditions, using the storage with the radiant cooling system offered energy savings of 3% to 14%. The energy-cost analysis was also performed using a time-of-day electricity tariff plan. The energy-cost savings varied from 17.5% to 22.4% for these operating scenarios.
