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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
