Energy consumption depends on various factors, such as equipment’s energy efficiency, comfort level, consumer’s behaviour and income. Equipment’s efficiency are crucial to achieve savings. The present paper focuses the relation between savings behaviour. For majority of demand side management measures, obtained affected by behavioural introduced consumers. Portuguese Services Regulatory Authority (ERSE) has developed a competitive mechanism for promoting in electricity called PPEC...
The sizing of solar energy power plants is usually made using typical meteorological years, which disregards the inter-annual variability resource. Nevertheless, such crucial for bankability these projects because it impacts on production goals set at time supply agreement. For that reason, this study aims to fill gap in existing literature and analyse impact resource has plant as applied case Portugal (southern Europe). To end, 17 years (2003–2019) data from a network 90 ground stations...
Evaluation of the Concentrating Solar Power capacity factor is critical to support decision making on possible regional energy investments. For such evaluations, System Advisor Model used perform assessments. Among required data, information concerning direct normal irradiance fundamental. In this context, Engerer model estimate hourly values out global horizontal ground measurements and other observed meteorological variables. parameters were calibrated for in Évora (Southern Portugal),...
Engerer model was used to estimate hourly values of direct normal irradiance out global horizontal ground measurements for Portugal. Model parameters were calibrated Évora station (southern Portugal) and applied a network 90 stations in mainland Portugal, part the Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera. From modelled time-series, that comprise 20 years data, typical meteorological determined. A comparison analysis all showed annual availabilities up ~2307 kWh/m2 Castro Marim, deviating...
