A Methodology for Buildings Access to Solar Radiation in Sustainable Cities
(MDPI, 2019)
The growing need to improve the environmental and energy sustainability of buildings involves the use of solar radiation incident on their surfaces. However, in cities, this task is complicated due to the constructive ...
Proposal for the Design of Monitoring and Operating Irrigation Networks Based on IoT, Cloud Computing and Free Hardware Technologies
(MDPI, 2019)
In recent decades, considerable efforts have been devoted to process automation in agriculture. Regarding irrigation systems, this demand has found several difficulties, including the lack of communication networks and the ...
Analysis of the Influence of Terrain Orientation on the Design of PV Facilities with Single-Axis Trackers
(MDPI, 2020)
This paper investigates how to optimally orient the photovoltaic solar trackers of an axis parallel to the terrain, applying the sky model of Hay–Davies. This problem has been widely studied. However, the number of studies ...
Simulation of Self-Consumption Photovoltaic Installations: Profitability Thresholds
(MDPI, 2021)
PV self-consumption can contribute positively to the spread of PV and, therefore, to the progress of renewable energies as a key element in a decarbonized energy model. However, the policies of each country regarding the ...
Use of Polar Heliostats to Improve Levels of Natural Lighting inside Buildings with Little Access to Sunlight
(MDPI, 2022)
The growing need to increase environmental and energy sustainability in buildings (housing, offices, warehouses, etc.) requires the use of solar radiation as a renewable source of energy that can help to lower carbon ...
Design and 3D Manufacturing of an Improved Heliostatic Illuminator
(MDPI, 2022)
Increasing daylighting levels contributes to improving the energy efficiency of buildings and consequently to the fight against climate change. This work presents a new illuminator based on a previous single-axis polar ...
Benchmarking Analysis of the Panorama of Grid-Connected PV Installations in Spain
(MDPI, 2022)
Renewable energies play an important role as a solution to the challenge of satisfying the growing global energy demand without jeopardizing the achievements in the fight against climate change. Given this panorama, different ...
A novel backtracking approach for two-axis solar PV tracking plants
(Elsevier, 2020)
Solar tracking is a technique required to increase energy production in multiple photovoltaic (PV) facilities. In these plants, during low-elevation solar angle hours, shadows appear between the collectors causing a dramatic ...
