The main premise adopted is the installation of photovoltaic systems in areas occupied by large hydroelectric dams. The results show that the climatic behavior is specific in each region. Therefore, it has not been possible to find any evidence of standardized correlations between the sunshine and the other climatic and hydrological variables analyzed. Finally, a flow chart that illustrates a consistency in the definition of the distinguishing elements of the inventory process is presented. The purpose of this flow chart is to enable the same inventory process for PV plants in existing hydropower plants, using a comparison method. Thus, this study provides a new way to systematize the solar resource based on a dominated formulation of the water resource.","PeriodicalId":240209,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Youth Conference on Energy (IYCE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114896663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing the proper pricing strategies is becoming increasingly relevant to producers and consumers in the new competitive electric power markets. Price-forecasting tools are essential for all market participants for their survival under new deregulated environment. The goal of this paper is to construct a discrete dynamic model which can be used to forecast energy price in this kind of market. This mathematical model consists of four recursive, first-order equations describing current demand, forecasted demand and amount of energy being produced by generators. Based on this model the price for the next period can be calculated. The basic concepts such as changes of supply and demand and their influence on the market are firstly listed and described. It is also shown that this model is universal and providing necessary data can be applied to different energy market.","PeriodicalId":240209,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Youth Conference on Energy (IYCE)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129371070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, the domain of regional energy co-operatives and small utilities has been mainly neglected by IS research. The research in progress paper at hand describes the actual situation of such organizations and focusses on the existing gap in matters of business models (BM) for energy co-operatives. Energy co-operatives are a collaboration by either private persons or smaller companies that produce their own - primarily renewable - energy. Model and theory development of this research are operated by the methods literature reviews, case study research within the energy sector and graphical modeling. The resulting common practice business model based on the business model canvas contributes to the body of knowledge and allows co-operatives to derive own fitting models. The business model canvas is a strategic pattern to visualize the relationship between key partners, key activities and other “building blocks”. This takes the growing importance of energy co-operatives as well as the missing path to market of the new technologies into account.","PeriodicalId":240209,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Youth Conference on Energy (IYCE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126082486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SCO2 is characterized by good chemical stability at high temperature, supercritical conditions at limited temperature and pressure and high thermodynamic efficiency. Because of these features, SCO2 allows to operate with small sized operating machines and higher efficiency compared to conventional applications. Moreover, the SCO2 can be used in conventional thermodynamic gas cycles reaching higher efficiency at the same temperature level. The main advantage is the possibility of reaching thermodynamic efficiency values close to 50%, much higher than conventional cycles. Moreover, the critical point of CO2, low pressure and low temperature (7 MPa and 300 K), makes systems more economic and technically feasible than systems powered by other supercritical fluids. SCO2 industrial applications are analyzed in the present paper and specific advantages will be investigated.","PeriodicalId":240209,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Youth Conference on Energy (IYCE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128945024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It must be mentioned that there was no 100% successful mission in the “PocketQube” satellite size (50×50×50 mm) which has four times less area as a conventional 100×100×100 mm “Cubesat”. Therefore the PV energy management became really important. The reason behind the SMOG-1 “PocketQube” energy management simulation in Matlab code was to achieve a credible result for the cycle PV energy production to predict the precious amount of energy which could be used to heat the battery of the satellite besides the necessary functions energy needs. In the early stage of the development it was inevitable to encounter some difficulties. One of them was that it was necessary to give basic simulation results to the project team to help their planning phase of the satellite. There were few missing parameters about the structure of the satellite and about the PV cells, which we have managed to get from the literature. As a matter of fact, a 3D design software called SkecthUp and Inventor was used to simulate the shading of the PV modules and software called PVSYST to create the PV module parameters of the satellite and using the calculated parameters necessary codes in Matlab could have been written to simulate the shading of the PV modules. With the obtained cycle PV energy production, the simulation could be run to predict the battery charge level of the satellite for the first cycle. In summary, we have managed to fill the gaps of the simulation and hopefully get conservative, but reliable results.","PeriodicalId":240209,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Youth Conference on Energy (IYCE)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114696637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With our paper we would like to draw attention to the usage of these materials, as the next level of heat accumulation. Phase change materials (PCM) are materials used for storing heat energy. To do that these materials use latent heat in the storing process, so PCMs store heat with higher density and release it, when it is necessary. The biggest advantage of these materials is storing huge amount of heat energy with low temperature difference, saving energy and space. In our paper we present the progress of phase change, show the problems with these materials and examine present researches to improve the property of phase change materials. PCMs usually used for storing heat to provide constant temperature that is why these materials are most commonly used in HVAC systems. We can use PCMs in heating systems, built into storages, cooperating with boilers, or we can integrate these materials to wall structures to reduce the effect of outside temperature. In our research we examine a new application, where we integrate a surface heating/cooling system by placing PCMs as different layers of a wall structure. With EnergyPlus software we specify the best position, size and shape of the phase change materials and we also test in which weather conditions is the best to use these materials. We validate the simulation with our own thermal model to make sure it is working properly. Our calculations are based on the heating and cooling energy usage of the building and the level of thermal comfort. Finally we make an economic analysis, in return and the period that our investment pays which we test the off.","PeriodicalId":240209,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Youth Conference on Energy (IYCE)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133525551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
