Abstract The decarbonization of the economy, for which contribution power systems is significant, a growing trend in Europe and world. In order to achieve Paris Agreement's ambitious environmental goals, substantial increase renewable sources energy generation mix required. This brings about relevant challenges as integration this type increases, namely terms distribution system operation. paper, foreseen future are identified most effective approaches deal with them reviewed. strategies...
A Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório Agudo (SDRA) é uma condição inflamatória aguda e difusa que resulta em lesão pulmonar pode ser desencadeada por diversas etiologias. suspeita de SDRA deve considerada pacientes apresentam dispneia progressiva, aumento da necessidade oxigênio presença infiltrados alveolares nas imagens tórax, manifestando-se entre 6 72 horas após um evento desencadeante. Devido à hipoxemia, os com necessitam estratégias ventilatórias específicas, como a ventilação...
The stagnation temperatures experienced by glazed photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) collectors pose a threat to their performance and longevity, in part due the limited temperature stability of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) encapsulants. In order identify suitable solutions for application residential solar domestic hot water (SDHW) PV-T systems, comparative analysis known overheating prevention handling measures was conducted dynamic simulations were used support analysis. While no measure found...
Abstract Aims Literature regarding anticoagulants in older people affected by atrial fibrillation (AF) is limited to retrospective studies, poorly considering the importance of multidimensional frailty. The main objective this study evaluate hospitalised persons with AF benefit/risk ratio anticoagulant treatments, severity frailty, determined prognostic index (MPI). Methods In European, multicentre, prospective study, patients (≥65 years) non-valvular were followed-up for 12 months....
A solar trigeneration system, based on photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) collectors, photovoltaic (PV) modules and a heat pump unit for heating cooling, is modelled to forecast the thermal electric yields of system. The aim system provide enough electricity, domestic hot water (DHW), cooling power meet typical demand an urban single family dwelling with limited roof area allow household achieve positive net energy status. PV/T collectors PV electricity while former also powers DHW component...
The main by-product generated in the forestry industry is bark, derived from debarking process. Pinus and eucalyptus are nowadays two of most important tree species exploited by southwestern Europe. This work investigates application Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.) barks as a source high polyphenolic content extracts, to be used natural dyes textile industry. We demonstrated that it possible use extracts obtained both forest by-products without...
INTRODUCTION: Demand response (DR) has been proposed as a mechanism to induce electricity cost reductions and is typically assumed require the adoption of time-differentiated prices. Making most these requires using automated energy management systems produce optimised DR pl
Photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) solar water heating systems are commonly envisioned as a combination of regular heaters and grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. Nevertheless, the PV circuit can be left in open-circuit mode to increase effective thermal absorption or electricity generated used heat storage fluid through secondary electrical element. Annual dynamic simulations using representative system sizes PV-T technology were conducted for these three configurations. The purpose was...
Electricity consumption for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) is projected to keep growing, as the means improve demand indoor comfort increases. Rising HVAC poses challenges grid management that response can mitigate, namely by inducing end-users use building inertia their advantage. Making most of requires temperature models are simultaneously accurate compatible with optimisation methodologies. Various have been adopted using mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) but it...
Active photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) systems for solar heating and electricity generation are likely to employ the same differential temperature pump controllers as equivalent non-hybrid thermal (ST) systems. However, typical controller setpoint selection methods cost-effective stable operation fail consider effect on photovoltaic (PV) taking place in PV-T Analytical relations goals were derived anticipate this influence using steady-state Florschuetz collector model compared with numerical...
This article proposes that the Pitot Cole tube used for measuring water flow in distribution does not require calibration, as it is an intrinsically self-calibrated equipment. Its function to transform speed (kinetic energy) into manometric pressure, where measurement made by manometers or Pitometry Cases. The also cites a third-degree polynomial equation automatically corrects discharge factor, KpC, increasing its rangeability from 3:1 up 35:1. As fundamental highlight, added other...
