Abstract. An extraordinary convective rainfall event, unforeseen by most numerical weather prediction models, generated a devastating flash flood (305 m3 s−1) in the town of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca, on 9 October 2018. Four people died inside this village, while casualties were up to 13 over entire affected area. This extreme event has been reconstructed implementing an integrated modelling approach Ses Planes catchment (23.4 km2), based three components: (i) generation...
We analyzed the role of predictable and unpredictable variability in identification optimal renewable energy mixes an electricity system. Renewable sources are fastest growing generation technology, but variable nature production linked to climate raises structural, technological economical issues. This work proposes differentiation treatment applied context Markowitz portfolio theory for deployment. The e4clim model was used as a tool analyze impact on mixes. Significant differences...
Recent years have seen Sustainable Development Goals mark the way towards a sustainable future and put growth of renewable energy sources in spotlight. This increase, led by PV wind technologies, will be necessary to meet penetration targets upcoming decades. However, these require vast amounts land, limited resource affecting other such as ecosystem protection or food production. article explores land–energy nexus through minimization system total cost that incorporates form suitability for...
Renewable energy planning is key to achieving target levels of renewable-energy penetration and electricity demand in the European Union. Mean–variance analysis can be used identify optimal spatial technological deployment variable renewable (VRE) sources terms maximizing VRE minimizing supply risks. We investigate extent which optimizing capacities at scale climate-data grid points, instead administrative regions (a common approach due data availability computation costs), helps generate...
The physical mechanisms that take place under sea-breeze (SB) conditions in the island of Mallorca (western Mediterranean Sea) are analysed through inspection data from automatic weather stations (AWS) Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET) during period 2009–2022. Hourly satellite-derived land-surface and sea-surface temperatures (LST SST, respectively) used to compute surface temperature difference (LST–SST) three main basins. Besides, a method (Grau et al, 2020) is...
Abstract. An extraordinary convective rainfall event, unforeseen by most prediction models, generated a devastating flash flood in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca on October 9, 2018. Four people died the town (13 entire affected area). The event was reconstructed, implementing an integrated modelling approach this small (23.4 km2) and semi-arid ungauged Mediterranean catchment, with highly nonlinear hydrological response to heavy precipitation, based three components: (i) generation of...
Efforts in the energy planning department are required to achieve target levels of renewable penetration and electricity demand European Union.Mean-variance analysis is commonly used identify optimal deployment variable sources.By using it, we can determine most effective ways increase minimise supply risks through varying spatial technological deployments.In this study, investigate effectiveness optimising capacities at scale climate data grid points, rather than administrative regions,...
<p>An extraordinary convective rainfall event –unforeseen by most numerical weather prediction models– led to a devastating flash flood in the town of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, eastern Mallorca, on 9th October 2018. Four people died inside village, while total death toll was 13 and economic damages amounted 91 M€. The observed flooded extension Copernicus Emergency Management Service –based Sentinel-1...
<p>Non-hydroelectric renewable energy sources (RES) are the fastest growing generation technologies in terms of new capacity and their penetration is expected to double next 20 years. More than half this growth come from wind power. However, given variable nature RES production linked climate variability need for a constant supply-demand balance, increasing renewables raises structural, technological economical issues. In Spain, correlation solar potential with seasonal...
