The global energy transition is pivotal in mitigating climate change. In Chile, the system that includes hydropower faces challenges from prolonged megadroughts, necessitating diversification toward renewable sources like solar and wind energy. However, research gaps persist understanding how these can optimally address climate-induced vulnerabilities. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to identify trends on strategies under extreme drought conditions, distinguishing it systematic...
This study compares four carbon intensity indicators applicable to harbor tugboats identify the most representative greenhouse gas emissions management. Using operational data from SAAM Towage’s fleet, evaluated traveled distance, operating time, energy consumption, and average engine load demand. Statistical analyses revealed that consumption-based indicator exhibited lower variability greater capacity reflect particularities of tugboats. In contrast, based on presented high dispersion,...
This study introduces a method for identifying territories ideal establishing photovoltaic (PV) plants green hydrogen (GH2) production in the Antofagasta region of northern Chile, location celebrated its outstanding solar energy potential. Assessing viability PV plant installation necessitates balanced consideration technical aspects and socio-environmental constraints, such as proximity to areas ecological importance indigenous communities, identify potential zones non-conventional...
Demand side management (DSM) contributes, among its other purposes, to provide stability and flexibility energy systems that include a high proportion of variable renewable in pioneer countries those which recently began their transition. Among DSM policies, implementation measures mechanisms for demand response (DR) is not trivial matter. This study presents review comparative analysis the major policy developments Germany Chile. Based on i) relevance industry sector both countries, ii)...
Chile has an immense renewable energy potential but its integration into the system constitutes a major challenge. The country complex topography that is expressed by divided national grid with almost isolated subsystems and wide differences in availability of resources. present study aims at evaluating potentials combining solar power, wind power storage systems to provide steady loads already from generation source. analysis relies on optimization model size hybrid 10 years weather data...
This study assessed the feasibility of integrating a green hydrogen value chain into local industry, examining two case studies by comparing four scenarios. The optimization focused on generating electricity from stationary renewable sources, such as solar or through Power Purchase Agreements, to produce sufficient in electrolyzers. Current demand profiles, participation targets, supply levelized costs energy and hydrogen, technology options were considered. most cost-effective scenario...
The generation of energy from renewable sources is a fundamental aspect for the sustainable development society, and several such as solar, biomass, biogas, wind must be used to maximum meet existing needs. In Chile, there are villages that off-grid. A real case study presented in this research. To needs village we have proposed mathematical optimization model using CPLEX optimizer generate necessary power while minimizing cost (COE). study, different scenarios been evaluated with respect...
Chile, abundant in solar and wind energy resources, presents significant potential for the production of green hydrogen, a promising renewable vector. However, realizing this requires an understanding most suitable locations installation hydrogen industries. This study proposes quantitative methodology that identifies ranks public lands industrial use, based on range technical parameters (such as availability) socio-environmental considerations (including land use restrictions population...
Demand side management is a promising alternative to offer flexibility power systems with high shares of variable renewable energy sources. Numerous industries possess large demand potentials but accounting for them in system analysis and modelling restricted by the availability their data, which are usually confidential. In this study, methodology synthetize anonymized hourly electricity consumption profiles calculate potential proposed. This combines different partitioning hierarchical...
The paper presents a complete value chain for the use of green hydrogen in port facility. main objective was to propose sizing components that make up ensure supply 1 MWe replacing diesel generator. energy demand required determined by establishing leading small and large-scale conventional energy-consuming equipment. Hence, 60 kgH2 power supply. total electrical produce all generated from photovoltaic solar energy, considering three-generation scenarios (minimum, maximum annual average). In...
Chile and Brazil have been historically recognised in South America for having a high share of renewable sources their primary energy matrices. Furthermore, the last two decades, aligned with global efforts to conduct sustainable transition, both countries experienced successful introduction nonconventional power production. Nevertheless, some experiences demonstrated be not entirely societally environmentally friendly, as local human communities ecosystems are threatened, conflicts emerged,...
The mining industry is characterized by a high consumption of energy due to the wide diversity processes involved, specifically transportation ore slurry via pipeline systems. This study investigates relationship among variables that define system minimize power requirements and increase sustainability. indicator (I), criterion used for assessment three different pumping layouts, was computed numerical simulation. Optimization response I carried out through statistical technique in design...
Chile has an immense renewable energy potential but their integration in the system constitutes a major challenge. The complex topography of country, isolation different electric grids and variability sources, makes transmission from locations with high variable power generation to demand centres not easy task. present study aims at assessing combining solar power, wind storage systems provide steady loads already source. Such combination should take advantage complementarity between sources...
