Shifting currents: expert perspectives on the adoption of direct current in pow...
Ngirwa, Catherine; Reis, Diogo; Morais, Hugo; Pereira, Lucas; Ngirwa, CatherineUtilization of renewable energy resources for energy generation brought significant attention to Direct Current (DC) technologies, as many of them produce and store electricity in DC. Compared to Alternating Current, the DC technologies, specifically in Medium-Voltage (MV) and Low-Voltage (LV), are in their infancy, leading to less data availability for decision-making. To inform early-phase technologies, exper...
Impact of Forecasting Models Errors in a Peer-to-Peer Energy Sharing Market
Gomes, Luis; Morais, Hugo; Goncalves, Calvin; Gomes, Eduardo; Pereira, Lucas; Vale, ZitaThe use of energy sharing models in smart grids has been widely addressed in the literature. However, feasible technical solutions that can deploy these models into reality, as well as the correct use of energy forecasts are not properly addressed. This paper proposes a simple, yet viable and feasible, solution to deploy energy management systems on the end-user-side in order to enable not only energy forecasti...

Effect of physical exercise on aging: differences in physical fitness between a...
Medeiros, Isabella; Pereira, Lucas; Pinto, Veronica; Viana-Gomes, DiegoAging is a natural and irreversible process that causes autonomy and functional capacity reduction. Regular physical exercise, besides curbing the sedentary lifestyle, promote maintenance of the functional capacities in elderly people. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of exercise on functional abilities and physical fitness, comparing active and sedentary elderly. Eighty elderly people bet...
LEVANTAMENTO E ANÁLISE DOS SISTEMAS AMBIENTAIS DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO ARA...
Paiva, Francisco Felipe; Araujo, Milena; Pereira, LucasO presente artigo trata de um levantamento cartográfico da bacia de Aracati mirim que estar inserida na bacia hidrográfica do litoral, sendo considerada uma das principais bacias nesse contexto territorial, com estes produtos cartográficos produzidos na área pode-se atentar a uma análise dos sistemas ambientais que estão presentes na bacia. Estas análises ambientais são realizadas nos componentes geoambientais ...
Energy monitoring in the wild: platform development and lessons learned from a ...
Quintal, Filipe; Garigali, Daniel; Vasconcelos, Dino; Cavaleiro, Jonathan; Santos, Wilson; Pereira, LucasThis paper presents the development and evaluation of EnnerSpectrum, a platform for electricity monitoring. The development was motivated by a gap between academic, fully custom made monitoring solutions and commercial proprietary monitoring approaches. EnnerSpectrum is composed of two main entities, the back end, and the Gateway. The back end is a server comprised of flexible entities that can be configured to...
Understanding the challenges behind electric vehicle usage by drivers: a case s...
Barros, Luísa; Barreto, Mary; Pereira, LucasElectric Vehicles (EV) adoption targets have been set by govern ments from countries throughout Europe, related to the European goals, for the decarbonization of the road transport sector. The change for electric vehicle technology can be challenging to EV users for several reasons such as battery autonomy, time to charge the vehicle, and the different driving conditions. The work in this paper aims to study ho...
The acceptance of energy monitoring technologies: the case of local prosumers
Barreto, Mary; Pereira, Lucas; Quintal, FilipeWith transformations happening in the electricity sector, we need to ensure consumers have access to updated and correct information to accompany such changes. Consumers need to understand technologies available to them but also, learn how to use them to optimize their personal investment in such types of equipment. In this paper, we explore how a group of local pro sumers has adopted energy monitoring technolo...
MyTukxi: low cost smart charging for small scale EVs
Quintal, Filipe; Scuri, Sabrina; Barreto, Mary; Pereira, Lucas; Vasconcelos, Dino; Pestana, DanielAs the electrification of the transportation sector grows the electric grid must handle the new load resulting from electric vehicles (EV) charging. The integration of this new load in the grid has been subject to work in the smart-charging research field, however, while normal-sized EVs often offer chargers or other functions that support smart-charging, smaller EVs do not, which could be problem atic. Especia...
A global monitoring system for electricity consumption and production of househ...
Torabi, Roham; Rodrigues, Sandy; Cafôfo, Nuno; Pereira, Lucas; Quintal, Filipe; Nunes, Nuno; Dias, Fernando MorgadoThis paper describes recent work on the development of a wireless-based remote monitoring system for household energy consumption and generation in Madeira Island, Portugal. It contains three different main sections: (1) a monitoring system for consumed and produced energy of residencies equipped with photovoltaic (PV) systems, (2) developing a tool to predict the electricity production, (3) and proposing a sol...
