The Spanish Electricity Network would not be saturated if all the vehicles in the Region were electric.
This is one of the main conclusions reached by Junior Villanueva, a student of the University Master's Degree in Renewable Energies, who has won the prize for the best poster during the II Conference on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects.
Villanueva has carried out a study on the energy transition of heating and urban mobility systems based on fossil fuels to a system based on renewable energy.
He says that the 1,048,000 pollutant vehicles in the Region could be electric without causing a problem for the Spanish Electricity Network.
As he explains, in his study he has concluded that if there were more than one million electric vehicles, the demand for electricity "would not exceed 4,000 mW, so for the Spanish Electricity Network that is insignificant and totally acceptable."
To reach this conclusion, he made three hypotheses, one if the energy load was intelligent, another in the case of a time discrimination in the bill and a third in which there was no charge management and for the latter case the demand for electricity It was 4,000 mW.
However, in the surveys carried out to carry out its work, Villanueva observes that there are problems in the Community to implement such systems as an insufficient network of electric recharging points.
For this, it proposes more recharging points and that there are incentives for those who decide to have a vehicle of these characteristics, such as lowering taxes, subsidies and even having exclusivity to move through some areas of the city.
As for changing the heating system to one that works with renewable electricity, it states that in the Region it could use "its solar potential to meet all the thermal needs of the Region if the authorities arranged it because it is a regulatory issue rather than technical".
Villanueva has presented his TFM with other colleagues such as Andrea Tartaglia, who has developed a work on bifacial photovoltaic technology through which he explains that it is based on the use of two-sided photovoltaic panels to generate energy with greater performance than through the current panels and that has won the prize for the best exhibition.
Currently, it ensures that companies employ 10% of bifacial panels, while it is estimated that this technology will increase and that in 2029 the forecast is that 50% increase in use.
On the same theme is the work of Ariel Feliciano, although he has studied on what kind of floors the bifacial panels should be placed to obtain a better performance.
According to his work, the panel should be installed on bleached stones so that the use of the energy generated is greater.
Finally, Tzu-Hsuan Chou has studied photovoltaic systems for rural electrification in the Dominican Republic.
He proposes to install a 125 KW micro grid system with photovoltaic modules to supply about 400 homes.
In the conference the exhibition of Sergio Sirvent has also been awarded, who has done a work on the use of domestic air conditioning with solar energy.
