CLIMAEXTREMO: A New Risk Indicator for the Health Risk to Building Occupants du...
Silva, Carlos Santos; Fernandes, Diana Vieira; Gomes, Ricardo; Costa, Francisco Pires; Pinto, Ligia; Scuri, Sabrina; Brito, André; Nunes, BaltazarPortugal is the country in Europe where the death rate in winter and summer has the highest correlation with outdoor temperatures. The Portuguese National Institute of Public Health Ricardo Jorge has developed a national warning system for heat waves called ICARO, which has been in place since 1999 (and is the oldest in Europe). However, it presents some limitations, namely, the low spatial resolution (five reg...

Integration of CCHP microgrids in NZEB with critical loads under high PQR requi...
Savariego, Rafael; Moreno-Munoz, Antonio; Abascal-Castaneda, Isabel M.; González-Cuenca, M. Isabel; Silva, Carlos Santos; Tobajas-Blanco, JavierABSTRACT: In recent years, many projects have been developed to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, both from the point of view of energy efficiency and the integration of renewable energies. However, few projects are related to the problem of integrating DER in environments dominated by high-tech equipment, the so-called ”critical loads”: data centers, railroad stations, airports, and hospitals. The Eu...
Performance assessment of a building-integrated photovoltaic thermal system in ...
Bot, Karol; Aelenei, Laura Elena; Goncalves, Helder; Gomes, Maria da Glória; Silva, Carlos SantosABSTRACT: The experimental investigation of building-integrated photovoltaic thermal (BIPVT) solar systems is essential to characterise the operation of these elements under real conditions of use according to the climate and building type they pertain. BIPVT systems can increase and ensure energy performance and readiness without jeopardising the occupant comfort if correctly operated. The present work present...
Model predictive control for microgrid functionalities: review and future chall...
Garcia-Torres, Felix; Cabeza, Ascensión Zafra; Silva, Carlos Santos; Grieu, Stéphane; Darure, Tejaswinee; Estanqueiro, AnaABSTRACT: Renewable generation and energy storage systems are technologies which evoke the future energy paradigm. While these technologies have reached their technological maturity, the way they are integrated and operated in the future smart grids still presents several challenges. Microgrids appear as a key technology to pave the path towards the integration and optimized operation in smart grids. However, t...
