In general, a major challenge for the exploitation of renewable energies is to improve their efficiency. In electricity generation from the energy of ocean waves, not unlike other technologies, the converter must be optimized to make the energy harvesting economically feasible. This paper proposes a passive tuning control strategy of a point absorber in which the power captured is maximized by controlling the electromagnetic force of the generator with a resistance emulation approach. The proposed strategy consists of mapping the optimal values for regular waves and applying them to irregular waves. This strategy is tested in a wave energy converter in which the generator is connected to a boost rectifier converter whose controller is designed to emulate a resistance. The power electronics system implemented is validated by comparing its performance with the case in which the generator is directly connected to a resistive load. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy as the maximum captured power is concentrated around the optimal values previously calculated and with the same behavior for both excitations.

In electric vehicles, passengers sit very close to an electric system of significant power. The high currents achieved in these vehicles mean that the passengers could be exposed to significant magnetic fields. One of the electric devices present in the power train are the batteries. In this paper, a methodology to evaluate the magnetic field created by these batteries is presented. First, the magnetic field generated by a single battery is analyzed using finite elements simulations. Results are compared to laboratory measurements, taken from a real battery, in order to validate the model. After this, the magnetic field created by a complete battery pack is estimated and results are discussed.

Frequency Response Analysis is a well-known technique for the diagnosis of power transformers. Currently, this technique is under research for its application in rotary electrical machines. This paper presents significant results on the application of Frequency Response Analysis to fault detection in field winding of synchronous machines with static excitation. First, the influence of the rotor position on the frequency response is evaluated. Secondly, some relevant test results are shown regarding ground fault and inter-turn fault detection in field windings at standstill condition. The influence of the fault resistance value is also taken into account. This paper also studies the applicability of Frequency Response Analysis in fault detection in field windings while rotating. This represents an important feature because some defects only appear with the machine rated speed. Several laboratory test results show the applicability of this fault detection technique in field windings at full speed with no excitation current.

On-line partial discharge (PD) measurements have become a common technique for assessing the insulation condition of installed high voltage (HV) insulated cables. When on-line tests are performed in noisy environments, or when more than one source of pulse-shaped signals are present in a cable system, it is difficult to perform accurate diagnoses. In these cases, an adequate selection of the non-conventional measuring technique and the implementation of effective signal processing tools are essential for a correct evaluation of the insulation degradation. Once a specific noise rejection filter is applied, many signals can be identified as potential PD pulses, therefore, a classification tool to discriminate the PD sources involved is required. This paper proposes an efficient method for the classification of PD signals and pulse-type noise interferences measured in power cables with HFCT sensors. By using a signal feature generation algorithm, representative parameters associated to the waveform of each pulse acquired are calculated so that they can be separated in different clusters. The efficiency of the clustering technique proposed is demonstrated through an example with three different PD sources and several pulse-shaped interferences measured simultaneously in a cable system with a high frequency current transformer (HFCT).

This report analyzes the basis of hydrogen and power integration strategies, by using water electrolysis processes as a means of flexible energy storage at large scales. It is a prospective study, where the scope is to describe the characteristics of current power systems (like the generation technologies, load curves and grid constraints), and define future scenarios of hydrogen for balancing the electrical grids, considering the efficiency, economy and easiness of operations. We focus in the "Spanish case", which is a good example for planning the transition from a power system holding large reserve capacities, high penetration of renewable energies and limited interconnections, to a more sustainable energy system being capable to optimize the volumes, the regulation modes, the utilization ratios and the impacts of the installations. Thus, we explore a novel aspect of the "hydrogen economy" which is based in the potentials of existing power systems and the properties of hydrogen as energy carrier, by considering the electricity generation and demand globally and determining the optimal size and operation of the hydrogen production processes along the country; e.g. the cost production of hydrogen becomes viable for a base-load scenario with 58 TWh/year of power surplus at 0.025 V/kWh, and large number electrolyzer plants (50 MW) running in variable mode (1-12 kA/m2)

For the energy valorization of alperujo, residue of the olive oil two phases extraction process, it is necessary to perform a drying process to reduce moisture content from over 60% to less than 10%. In order to reduce primary energy consumption and get an economic return, usually in this kind of drying facilities Gas Turbine CHP is used as a heat source. There have been recently in Spain some fires in this kind of GT-CHP facilities, which have caused high material losses. In some of these fires it has been suggested that the fire was caused by the output of incandescent alperujo in the flue gasesof the drying system. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine experimentally and analytically under which operational conditions a process of alperujo self-ignition in the drying process can begin, and determine the actual fire hazard in this type of TG-CHP system. For analytical study, the temperature and initial composition of the combustion gases of the Gas Turbine at the entrance of the drying process was calculated and the gas equilibrium conditions reached in contact with the biomass were calculated and, therefore, the temperature of the biomass during the drying process. Moreover, the layer and dust ignition temperature of alperujo has been experimentally determined, according to EN 50281-2-1: 2000. With these results, the operating conditions of the drying process, in which there are real risk of auto-ignition of alperujo have been established.Para la valorización energética del alperujo, residuo del proceso de extracción en dos fases del aceite de oliva, es necesario realizar un proceso de secado para reducir su contenido de humedad de más del 60% al 10% m/m en b.h. Con el fin de reducir el consumo de energía primaria y obtener una rentabilidad económica, normalmente en este tipo de instalaciones de secado se usa la cogeneración con turbina de gas (TG) como fuente de calor. En España en los últimos años han ocurrido algunos casos de incendio en este tipo de instalaciones de cogeneración, que han supuesto pérdidas materiales muy elevadas. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este trabajo es determinar analítica y experimentalmente las condiciones operativas del secadero bajo las cuales podría comenzar un proceso de autoinflamación del alperujo y determinar el riesgo real de incendio en este tipo de instalaciones. Para el estudio analítico, se ha planteado y validado el modelo matemático que permite calcular la temperatura y la composición de los gases de combustión a la entrada y a la salida del secadero, en función de las curvas características de la TG, de las condiciones atmosféricas, del caudal y del grado de humedad de la biomasa tratada. El modelo permite además calcular la temperatura de bulbo húmedo, que es la máxima temperatura que podría alcanzar la biomasa durante el proceso de secado y determinar la cantidad de biomasa que se puede secar completamente en función del caudal y de las condiciones de entrada de los gases de combustión. Con estos resultados y la temperatura mínima de autoinflamación del alperujo determinada experimentalmente siguiendo la norma EN 50281- 2-1:2000, se demuestra que en un proceso de secado de alperujo en condiciones normales de operación no existe riesgo de autoencendido que pueda dar origen a un incendio.

This paper studies the impact that different approaches of modeling the real-time use of the secondary regulation reserves have in the joint energy and reserve hourly scheduling of a price-taker pumped-storage hydropower plant. The unexpected imbalance costs due to the error between the forecasted real-time use of the reserves and the actual value are also studied and evaluated for the different approaches. The proposed methodology is applied to a daily-cycle and closed-loop pumped-storage hydropower plant. Preliminary results show that the deviations in the water volume at the end of the day are important when the percentage of the real-time use of reserves is unknown in advance, and also that the total income in all approaches after correcting these deviations is significantly lower than the maximum theoretical income.

In this paper, a general vision of cogeneration penetration in the European Union is shown; after this, a case study is included, evaluating as a function of two factors (electricity and emission allowance prices) the suitability of installing, for an industry with a determined thermal demand, two different options. The first one is a gas turbine cogeneration plant generating steam through a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The second one consists of installing a natural gas boiler for steam production covering the electricity demand from the grid. The CO2 emissions from both options are compared regarding different kinds of generation mixes from the electricity grid in the case of using the industrial boiler; taking into account the advantages of using biomass in relation to emissions, a last comparison has been carried out considering a biomass boiler instead of the natural gas boiler.

Se presentan las mejoras introducidas en un código de transporte de radiación acoplada a la hidrodinámica llamado ARWEN para el estudio de sistemas en el rango de física de alta densidad de energía (High Energy Density Physics). Los desarrollos introducidos se basan en las siguientes áreas: ít>,~ Ecuaciones de estado: se desarrolla una nueva metodología mediante la cual es posible ajustar los resultados de un modelo simple de ecuaciones de estado como QEOS a datos experimentales y resultados de AIMD. Esta metodología tiene carácter general para poder ser aplicada en gran cantidad de materuales de interés y amplia la flexibilidad de ajuste de los métodos de los que ha partido como base este trabajo. En segundo lugar, se ha desarrollado una librería para la gestión de tablas de datos de ecuaciones de estado que también incluye la gestión de tablas con datos de opacidades y de ionización. Esta nueva librería extiende las capacidades de la anterior al tener llamadas más específicas que aceleran los cálculos, y posibilidad de uso de varias tablas a la vez. Solver de difusión: se ha desarrollado un nuevo paquete para resolver la ecuación de difusión que se aplicará a la conducción de calor dentro del plasma. El método anterior no podía ser ejecutado en paralelo y producía resultados dependientes de la resolución de la malla, mientras que este método es paralelizable y además obtiene una solución con mejor convergencia, lo que supone una solución que no depende del refinamiento del mallado. Revisión del paquete de radiación: en primer lugar se ha realizado una revisión de la implementación del modelo de radiación descubriendo varios errores que han sido depurados. También se ha incluido la nueva librería de gestión de tablas de opacidades que permiten la obtención de las propiedades ópticas del plasma en multigrupos de energía. Por otra parte se ha extendido el cálculo de los coeficientes de transporte al esquema multimaterial que ha introducido David Portillo García en el paquete hidrodinámico del código de simulación. Por último se ha revisado el esquema de resolución del transporte y se ha modificado para hacerlo paralelizable. • Se ha implementado un paquete de trazado de rayos para deposición láser que extiende la utilidad del anterior al ser en 3D y poder utilizar entonces diferentes configuraciones. • Una vez realizadas todas estas tareas se ha aplicado el código ARWEN al estudio de la astrofísica de laboratorio simulando los experimentos llevados a cabo en la instalación PALS por Chantal Stehlé acerca de ondas de choque radiativas. Se han comparado los resultados experimentales frente a las predicciones del código ARWEN obteniéndose una gran concordancia en la velocidad de la onda de choque generada y en las dimensiones del precursor. El código de simulación sobre el que se ha trabajado, junto con los desarrollos aportados por otros investigadores durante la realización de esta tesis, ha permitido participar en colaboraciones con laboratorios de Francia o Japón y se han producido resultados científicos publicados basados en el trabajo descrito en esta tesis. ABSTRACT Improvements in radiation hydrodynamic code ARWEN for the study of systems in the range of physics high energy density (High Energy Density Physics) are presented. The developments introduced are based on the following áreas: • Equations of state: a new methodology was developed to adjust the results of a simple Equation of State model like QEOS to experimental data and results of AIMD. This methodology can be applied to a large amount of materials and it increases the flexibility and range of the previous methods used as basis for this work. Also a new computer library has been developed to manage data tables of thermodynamic properties as well as includes the management of opacity and ionization data tables. This new library extends the capabilities of the previous one with more specific routines, and the possibility of using múltiple tables for several materials. • Diffusion solver: a new package has been developed to solve the diffusion equation applied to the heat conduction of the plasma. The previous method is not parallelizable and it produced mesh dependent results, while this new package can be executed in parallel and achieves a more converged solution that does not depend on the refinement of the mesh. • Radiation package: the check of the radiation model rose several bugs in the implementation that had been removed. The new computer library for EOS managing includes capabilities to store opacity tables for multigroups of energy. Moreover the transport coefficients calculations have been extended for the new multimaterial hydrodynamic package developed by David Portillo García. Also the solving methodology for the transport equation has been modified to make the code run in parallel. • A new ray tracing package has been introduced to extend the previous one to 3D. Once all these tasks has been implemented, the ARWEN code has been applied to study laboratory astrophysics systems. Simulations have been done in order to reproduce the results of the experiments carried out in PALS facility by Chantal Stehlé in radiative shock production. Experimental results are in cióse agreement to the ARWEN estimations of the speed of the shock wave and the length of the precursor. The simulation code used in this thesis, including the work done in ARWEN by other colleagues at the time of this research, allowed the collaboration with other research institution in France and Japan and some of the results presented in this thesis have been published in scientific journals.

Esta tesis doctoral contribuye al análisis y desarrollo de nuevos elementos constructivos que integran sistemas de generación eléctrica a través de células fotovoltaicas (FV); particularmente, basados en tecnología FV de lámina delgada. Para ello se estudia el proceso de la integración arquitectónica de éstos elementos (conocido internacionalmente como “Building Integrated Photovoltaic – BIPV”) mediante diferentes metodologías. Se inicia con el estudio de los elementos fotovoltaicos existentes y continúa con los materiales que conforman actualmente las pieles de los edificios y su posible adaptación a las diferentes tecnologías. Posteriormente, se propone una estrategia de integración de los elementos FV en los materiales constructivos. En ésta se considera la doble función de los elementos BIPV, eléctrica y arquitectónica, y en especial se plantea el estudio de la integración de elementos de disipación térmica y almacenamiento de calor mediante los materiales de cambio de fase (“Phase Change Materials – PCM”), todo esto con el objeto de favorecer el acondicionamiento térmico pasivo a través del elemento BIPV. Para validar dicha estrategia, se desarrolla una metodología experimental que consiste en el diseño y desarrollo de un prototipo denominado elemento BIPV/TF – PCM, así como un método de medida y caracterización en condiciones de laboratorio. Entre los logros alcanzados, destaca la multifuncionalidad de los elementos BIPV, el aprovechamiento de la energía residual del elemento, la reducción de los excedentes térmicos que puedan modificar el balance térmico de la envolvente del edificio, y las mejoras conseguidas en la producción eléctrica de los módulos fotovoltaicos por reducción de temperatura, lo que hará más sostenible la solución BIPV. Finalmente, como resultado del análisis teórico y experimental, esta tesis contribuye significativamente al estudio práctico de la adaptabilidad de los elementos BIPV en el entorno urbano por medio de una metodología que se basa en el desarrollo y puesta en marcha de una herramienta informática, que sirve tanto a ingenieros como arquitectos para verificar la calidad de la integración arquitectónica y calidad eléctrica de los elementos FV, antes, durante y después de la ejecución de un proyecto constructivo. ABSTRACT This Doctoral Thesis contributes to the analysis and development of new building elements that integrate power generation systems using photovoltaic solar cells (PV), particularly based on thin-film PV technology. For this propose, the architectural integration process is studied (concept known as "Building Integrated Photovoltaic - BIPV") by means of different methodologies. It begins with the study of existing PV elements and materials that are currently part of the building skins and the possible adaptation to different technologies. Subsequently, an integration strategy of PV elements in building materials is proposed. Double function of BIPV elements is considered, electrical and architectural, especially the heat dissipation and heat storage elements are studied, particularly the use Phase Change Materials– PCM in order to favor the thermal conditioning of buildings by means of the BIPV elements. For this propose, an experimental methodology is implemented, which consist of the design and develop of a prototype "BIPV/TF- PCM element" and measurement method (indoor laboratory conditions) in order to validate this strategy. Among the most important achievements obtained of this develop and results analysis includes, in particular, the multifunctionality of BIPV elements, the efficient use of the residual energy of the element, reduction of the excess heat that it can change the heat balance of the building envelope and improvements in electricity production of PV modules by reducing the temperature, are some benefits achieved that make the BIPV element will be more sustainable. Finally, as a result of theoretical and experimental analysis, this thesis contributes significantly to the practical study of the adaptability of BIPV elements in the urban environment by means of a novel methodology based on the development and implementation by computer software of a useful tool which serves as both engineers and architects to verify the quality of architectural integration and electrical performance of PV elements before, during, and after execution of a building projects.

Esta tesis se enmarca dentro de una línea de investigación iniciada en el 2004 focalizada en el estudio de soluciones constructivas energéticamente eficientes para la crianza del vino. El objetivo principal es promover el ahorro energético y la sostenibilidad en el diseño de la sala de crianza de las bodegas. Para ello, se profundiza en el estudio de las bodegas subterráneas, ejemplo de eco-construcción, ya que por lo general proporcionan condiciones adecuadas para la crianza sin gasto energético en climatización. En concreto, se abordan aspectos clave para la caracterización y comprensión del funcionamiento de estas construcciones, que en muchas ocasiones condicionan el éxito o el fracaso de las mismas. Así, se analiza el complejo comportamiento de la ventilación natural a lo largo del año, determinando los factores que la condicionan, desvelando el papel que desempeña tanto el túnel de acceso como las chimeneas de ventilación en su funcionamiento. Además, se desarrollan y validan modelos de simulación mediante CFD, que permiten evaluar y predecir con detalle el comportamiento termofluidodinámico de las construcciones subterráneas. Por otra parte, se cuantifica la uniformidad y estabilidad de la sala de crianza a lo largo del año, información que permite fijar recomendaciones y pautas concretas de diseño de los planes de monitorización. Finalmente, se determinan las diferencias de comportamiento higrotérmico existentes entre un amplio abanico de bodegas subterráneas para vino tinto, bodegas representativas de otras soluciones constructivas alternativas de vino tinto, así como bodegas para cavas y vinos generosos, enmarcando el comportamiento de estas bodegas en un contexto global. Además, se desarrollan metodologías adaptadas a las características particulares de estas construcciones, en concreto un sistema de monitorización basado en termografía infrarroja para llevar a cabo inspecciones puntuales para el control ambiental de grandes naves de crianza. Es de esperar que los estudios técnicos y las herramientas desarrolladas ayuden a mejorar el diseño de nuevas bodegas, y a la mejora de las condiciones higrotérmicas de las ya existentes, colaborando a que España siga situada en la vanguardia de la producción de vino de calidad. ABSTRACT This thesis is part of the research started in 2004 and focusing on the study of the energy efficiency in wine aging constructive solutions. The main objective is to promote energy conservation and sustainability in the design of wine aging rooms. To do so, this study focuses on the analysis of the underground cellars, example of eco-construction, since they usually provide adequate conditions for wine aging without using air-conditioning systems. In particular, key aspects for characterizing and understanding these constructions, which often determine the success or failure of them. Thus, the complex behavior of natural ventilation throughout the year is discussed, determining the influencing factors and revealing the role of both the access tunnel and the ventilation chimney. In addition, numerical models are developed and validated using CFD simulation, allowing an in-depth assessment and prediction of the thermofluidynamic behavior in underground constructions. Moreover, uniformity and stability of the aging room throughout the year is quantified, allowing for precise information useful to set recommendations and design guidelines for defining monitoring plans. Finally, hygrothermal behavior differences between a wide range of underground cellars for red wine, red wine wineries with alternative construction solutions and wineries for generous wines and cava wines, In addition, new methodologies adapted towards the particular characteristics of these constructions, a monitoring system based on infrared thermography to perform periodic inspections for environmental controls of the aging rooms, are developed. It is expected that the technical studies and tools developed here will help to improve the design of new wineries, and also the hygrothermal conditions of the existing ones, headed for keeping Spain in the forefront of the countries producing high quality wine.
