Design and Implementation of a Pressure Monitoring System Based on IoT for Water Supply Networks
(MDPI, 2020)
Increasing the efficiency of water supply networks is essential in arid and semi-arid regions to ensure the supply of drinking water to the inhabitants. The cost of renovating these systems is high. However, customized ...
New Omnidirectional Sensor Based on Open-Source Software and Hardware for Tracking and Backtracking of Dual-Axis Solar Trackers in Photovoltaic Plants
(MDPI, 2021)
In this work, an omnidirectional sensor that enables identification of the direction of the celestial sphere with maximum solar irradiance is presented. The sensor, based on instantaneous measurements, functions as a ...
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 ...
Optimal Investments in PV Sources for Grid-Connected Distribution Networks: An Application of the Discrete–Continuous Genetic Algorithm
(MDPI, 2021)
The problem of the optimal siting and sizing of photovoltaic (PV) sources in grid connected distribution networks is addressed in this study with a master–slave optimization approach. In the master optimization stage, a ...
A Cost-Effective and Efficient Electronic Design for Photovoltaic Systems for Solar Hot Water Production
(MDPI, 2021)
A significant percentage of energy consumption in buildings is to produce hot water. Photovoltaic solar heating can be considered a clean and renewable energy option—easy to install, silent, and without maintenance—to ...
Sistema de evaluación del potencial de recarga para vehículos equipados con generador fotovoltaico
(Oficina de Transferencia de Resultados de la Investigación, 2021)
Methodological Advances in the Design of Photovoltaic Irrigation
(MDPI, 2021)
In this study, an algorithm has been developed that manages photovoltaic solar energy in such a manner that all generated power is delivered to the system formed by a pump and irrigation network with compensated emitters. ...
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 ...
Application of the Multiverse Optimization Method to Solve the Optimal Power Flow Problem in Alternating Current Networks
(MDPI, 2022)
In this paper, we solve the optimal power flow problem in alternating current networks to reduce power losses. For that purpose, we propose a master–slave methodology that combines the multiverse optimization algorithm ...
The Study of Soil Temperature Distribution for Very Low-Temperature Geothermal Energy Applications in Selected Locations of Temperate and Subtropical Climate
(MDPI, 2022)
The publication presents the results of research on soil temperature distribution at a depth of 0.25–3 m in three measurement locations. Two boreholes were located in Białystok in the temperate climatic zone and one measuring ...
