Since Brazil's major energy resources are renewable and directly related to climate factors, it is among the countries most likely of being affected by change. Given high hydropower storage capacity strong seasonal patterns its resources, introducing Seasonal Pumped Hydropower Storage (SPHS) can help mitigate these challenges. To this end, a methodology proposed that links dynamic system-optimization model – MESSAGEix - regional simulations, called Brazilian Electricity System Model (BESMM)....
The world is undergoing a substantial energy transition with an increasing share of intermittent sources on the grid such as wind and solar. These variable renewable require storage solution to allow smooth integration these sources. Batteries can provide short-term solutions. However, there still need for technologies that weekly at locations without potential pumped hydro storage. This paper presents innovative solutions based "buoyancy storage" in deep ocean. ocean has large depths where...
In tropical climates, the energy consumed by heating, ventilation and air conditioning can exceed 50% of total consumption a building. The demand for cooling is rising steadily, driven global warming rapidly increasing living standards in developing economies. addition, there rise water due to population increase, life quality, warming. Coastal areas with narrow continental shelves are perfect site implementing Seawater Air Conditioning (SWAC), renewable low CO2 emission process. This...
Water management strategies can have considerable impacts on the regional climate and hydrology. It is usually case that construction operation of hydropower reduce river flow downstream due to increase in evaporation. However, this paper shows humid regions, such as Brazil, storage reservoirs contribute river. This observation has been tested with historical reservoir levels data from several dams Brazil. was found Brazil a impact its flows. The higher level at beginning period, during wet...
The Indus basin has a large hydropower untapped potential for electricity generation and to regulate the river flow, which could reduce flooding events provide water supply during drought periods. In this paper, computational module is developed localize sites seasonal pumped storage (SPHS). levelized costs in with conventional dams are as low 12 USD/MWh, cost of energy 1 USD/MWh. case SPHS plants, 2 It can be concluded that is, moment, less expensive than SPHS, but its limited 26 GW below...
The most challenging aspect of developing a green hydrogen economy is long-distance oceanic transportation. Hydrogen liquefaction transportation alternative. However, the cost and energy consumption for currently prohibitively high, creating major barrier to supply chains. This paper proposes using solid nitrogen or oxygen as medium recycling cold across chain. When liquid (LH2) carrier reaches its destination, regasification process produces oxygen. then transported in LH2 back facility...
The rise in distributed renewable energy generation creates a growing need to find viable solutions for storage match demand and supply at any time. This paper evaluates the possibility of using swimming pools as long-term cooling solution, i.e., Swimming Pool Thermal Energy Storage (SPTES). technology allows small building store solar purposes yearly cycle, by filling pool with ice slurry winter that cool house summertime. Additionally, can be used heat sink pump during winter. Results show...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between mode of delivery and 2-year motor function in children with prenatal diagnosis myelomeningocele. METHODS: A multisite retrospective cohort study myelomeningocele across 14 NAFTNet (North American Fetal Therapy Network) centers born 2007 2020 who had a physical examination available at 2 years life. Exclusion criteria were utero repair, postnatal diagnosis, missing data on fetal presentation delivery, contraindications to labor. The primary outcome...
O Hidrogênio (H2) se destaca como uma alternativa para armazenar eletricidade excedente em cadeia associada com produção de H2 eletrolizadores, seu armazenamento e posterior reconversão células a combustível. presente trabalho avalia viabilidade do emprego desta na geração elétrica no Brasil, Argentina, Chile Paraguai, avaliada pelas métricas fator energia primária (FEP), emissão da matriz (FEME) intensidade uso terra (I). Paraguai Brasil apresentam os menores FEPs devido à predominância...

Abstract The rapid increase in cooling demand for air-conditioning worldwide brings the need more efficient solutions based on renewable energy. Seawater (SWAC) can provide base-load services coastal areas utilizing deep cold seawater. This technology is suggested inter-tropical regions where high throughout year, and it has been implemented islands with short distances from coast sea. paper proposes adjustments to conventional design of SWAC plants reduce implementation risks costs....
This paper contributes with a review of current and future electric vehicle battery geometries, as there are few comparisons regarding performance criteria in the literature. With these considerations, this seeks to fill gap by comparing commercial batteries different geometries. First, specifications each (found on manufacturers' websites or specialized media) presented. Then, evaluation defined considering two distinct applications: economy cars, using Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT)...
