One of the major problems of voltage stability is the reactive power limit of the system.
Improving the system's reactive power handling capacity via Flexible AC transmission …

This paper investigates how energy technologies diffuse spatially through the examination
of wind growth in Denmark (core) and Portugal (follower). The research draws on the …

The main objective of this paper is to establish an economic modelling of wave energy
through a Geographical Information System (GIS). Furthermore, this method has been tested …

The electrical supply system of Mainland Portugal is primarily responsible for 25% of the
country's CO 2 emissions. The principal reason for these high CO 2 emissions is the …

This article analyzes the process of construction of a new innovation system based on wind
energy in a “follower” context. The technological innovation systems framework is used to …

Finding the optimal balance between electricity demand and production constrained to
economic and comfort variables requires intelligent decision and control. This article …

This paper investigates the influence of the spectral irradiance variation and the spectral
response (SR) on the production of energy by photovoltaic cells. To determine the impact of …

Abstract On Flores island (Azores, Portugal), energy production depends up to 47% on fossil
fuels, namely Diesel. To minimize CO 2 emissions, the dependency on fuel prices, and to …

This work focuses on the performance study of the PowerCollector™, a concentrated
photovoltaic thermal system with a custom-made geometry and a photovoltaic cell cooling …

This paper analyses the electricity generation through a mini-hydro plant (MHP) and a
photovoltaic (PV) system particularly sized for a location in Tomar (Portugal). A system …
