Analyzing green behavior and the rational use of water in portuguese higher edu...

In the forthcoming years Portugal expects to be an increasingly hot and dry country dealing with the risk of water scarcity. According to the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere data, annual precipitation values have decreased 20 mm/decade. On the other hand, it is also verified that the periods of rain occur in a shorter interval, although more intensively. Water scarcity is one of the major challenges...

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE: PORTUGUESE PRE-SELECTED ...

New challenges arise with the increasing integration of renewable energies into the energy grid. One of the possible solutions for challenges such as balancing supply and demand, or the adequacy of power, may be energy storage, which can perform a vital role in future grids. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a large-scale energy storage system with long-term capacity for utility applications. This study e...
