INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project objectives and D1.1 aims In short, the project goal is to excite the sport facility community about energy efficiency and to develop ICT related energy consultancy services, hardware, and software to reduce energy consumption and emissions production by 30% in these facilities with a 5 year return on investment. To do this, the project will develop an integrated, modular, and scalable ICT system to manage energy consumption, generation, and exchange locally and within the larger context of the smart grid/neighbourhood (Figure 1). The core of the system and approach are four scalable modules that can be purchased and employed separately or integrated depending on client needs. These modules are SportE2 How (smart metering to determine where energy is being consumed), SportE2 When (integrated control systems that enable the actuation of energy sourcing and consumption), SportE2 Why (intelligent and optimal decision making given smart metering data and control capabilities), and SportE2 Where (a multi-facility management portal). The project will make use of a full scale building laboratory environment (Kubik) located at Tecnalia for system integration and testing. The project will then implement the SportE2 modules in three full-scale pilots representative of sport facilities at large and able to implement the smart grid concept through the availability of RET and cogeneration devices. Figure 1 - SportE2 solution overview This report “Deliverable 1.1” is due at month six of SportE2 project and deals with the analysis of Performance Criteria and Requirements. It establishes the baseline for the project. At the macro level, this deliverable includes energy considerations for sport facilities, examples of best practices in the field, green design considerations, definition of energy consuming devices and areas in sport facilities, the identification of energy pricing schemes, contracts, and incentives relevant to Sport Facilities and the standards and regulations that govern them. At the project level, the deliverable will include operational considerations for the SportE2 pilot facilities (FIDA in Italy, Self Energy in Portugal and EMTE in Spain) and in particular

  • European Energy Security the New Role of the Atlantic and the Portuguese Speaking Countries of the Region
    European Energy Security The new role of the Atlantic and the Portuguese Speaking Countries of the Region The European Union (EU), namely after its expansion in the East, is proportionally much more dependent on Russia and Eurasia than the Middle East/Persian Gulf region, counting on an energy province within it, although facing a decline in production – the North Sea -, and with two regions of proximity – the North of Africa and West Africa. Security of an energy supply encompasses all Member-States, even if some regions are more vulnerable than others; in particularly the less integrated and connected regions, such as the Baltic region and Eastern Europe. Simultaneously, the Atlantic region is becoming the scene of important transformations, such as those arising from the discovery of new energy resources and technological advances that will impact the future. To this effect, the present work focuses its attention on the Atlantic, proposing to observe, analyze, and attempt to comprehend, as much as possible, the future of its influence in geopolitical and geo-economics terms, highlighting the role of Portugal and the Lusophone countries of the Atlantic could potentially take regarding energy as an alternative route to the Russian supply for the EU, allowing for a more energy secure Europe. This research paper consists of five chapters, including a vast bibliography revised. The period studied is from present time until 2030. We begin by presenting the current energy landscape. Following by analyzing the evolution of energy policy in the EU, from the institutionalization of the European Community to present time, especially focusing in more recent developments, namely the “Magic Triangle”, the European Strategy for Energy 1 Security, and the Energy Union Package.

  • Thermal Load Calculation for a Single-Family Home in Portugal
    FEUP Thermal load Calculation for a single-family home in Portugal Thermal load Calculation for a single-family home in Portugal Zahra Noorbakhsh A Thesis in the Field of Energy Technology For the Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science and Technology Supervisor: Dr. Szabolcs Varga July 2020 FEUP Thermal load Calculation for a single-family home in Portugal Abstract: This work is carried within the framework of the Hybrid – BioVGE project, funded by the European Commission under the program “Building a Low-Carbon, Climate Resilient Future: Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy”. The major target of this project is to develop and design a highly integrated solar/biomass hybrid air conditioning system for cooling and heating demands of residential and commercial buildings. Calculating the heating and cooling load is the first step in designing a suitable HVAC system. A complete HVAC design is more than just a load estimate. Proper measurement of the HVAC system, selection of HVAC equipment, and design of the air distribution system to respond to the predicted precise heating and cooling loads begin with an accurate understanding of the heating and cooling loads in a space. In this work, firstly, try to investigate the importance of using renewable energy, precisely solar one, in the achievement of energy and climate European goals, and share of Portugal as member of European Union in decreasing co2 emission and reaching to EU sustainable development goals. In next stage all elements which have effects on calculation of building loads have been defined and explain that how proper heating loads and cooling loads in a building can be estimated.

  • Economic Evaluation of the Portuguese PV and Energy Storage Residential Applications
    Economic Evaluation of the Portuguese PV and Energy Storage Residential Applications Ana Folesa,b,1, Luís Fialhoa,b,2, Manuel Collares-Pereiraa,b,3 aRenewable Energies Chair, University of Évora, 7000-651 Évora, Portugal bInstitute of Earth Sciences, University of Évora, Rua Romão Ramalho, 7000-671, Évora, Portugal [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract In the residential sector, energy micro-generation and its intelligent management have been creating novel energy market models, considering new concepts of energy use and distribution, in which the prosumer has an active role in the energy generation and its self- consumption. The configuration of the solar photovoltaic system with a battery energy storage in Portugal is unclear in the technical, energetic and mostly in the economical point of view. The energy generation and consumption management, jointly with the battery operation, have a great influence in the configuration’s profitability value. The present work evaluates different photovoltaic configurations with and without energy storage for the normal low voltage C consumer profile, for a contracted power of 3.45 kVA, to evaluate the systems’ cost-effectiveness, framed in the regulation in force in Portugal - the decree-law 153/2014 -, which promotes the micro-generation and self-consumption. The analysis consists of three different geographical locations in the country, considering distinct electric tariffs. These are relevant parameters in the choice of the configuration, concluding that although the solar photovoltaic system by itself is already economical presently, its integration with battery energy storage isn’t in most of the configurations, however it is already possible to find profitable PV+battery configurations, considering all the most relevant criteria, and supported by good energy management.

  • The Future of Nuclear Power in Portugal
    IAEA-CN-164-1P07 The Future of Nuclear Power in Portugal Oscar Gonzalez-Hernandez Portuguese Institute of Physics, Portugal 1. INTRODUCTION This paper is an update of the document entitled “Nuclear technology and energy in Portugal” prepared for the IAEA Workshop: "Steps for Conducting Nuclear Power Plant Technology Assessments" which took place in Vienna on 17 - 20 November 2008. This paper advocated the start of a public dialogue on nuclear energy in Portugal irrespective of an eventual future decision. Although high placed public and private sector figures up to the level of the President of the Republic have spoken on the need for such a dialogue, no movement has taken place. The prospects for a nuclear energy programme in Portugal have been further affected by the recent economic crisis. This crisis has particularly affected the Portuguese economy with has a low per capita GDP by European standards and is too dependent on export oriented industries with a weak technology base. Entrepreneurs and government have become more concerned with short term measures. Knowledge of nuclear power technologies and economics remain very low in the country. However, a positive decision would bring substantial benefits since it could make Portugal a net exporter of electricity to energy hungry Spain. Furthermore, some of the targets of the Energy Policy of 2005 are not realistic. Several attempts to start the planning in the country of a NPP, beginning in 1957 have been dwarfed by a variety of reasons. 2. ENERGY POLICY IN PORTUGAL Primary energy needs are supplied by 80-85% of imports which constitutes a heavy burden on a fragile economy.

    Energy Policy 103 (2017) 193–202 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Energy Policy journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/enpol Lessons from wind policy in Portugal MARK ⁎ Ivonne Peñaa, Inês L. Azevedob, ,1, Luís António Fialho Marcelino Ferreirac,2 a National Renewable Energy Laboratory, 15013 Denver W Pkwy, Golden, CO 80401, United States b Department of Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University, PA, United States c Department of Electrical Engineering, Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Key words: Wind capacity and generation grew rapidly in several European countries, such as Portugal. Wind power Feed-in tariffs adoption in Portugal began in the early 2000s, incentivized by a continuous feed-in tariff policy mechanism, Wind energy coupled with public tenders for connection licenses in 2001, 2002, and 2005. These policies led to an enormous Wind policy success in terms of having a large share of renewables providing electricity services: wind alone accounts today Portuguese energy policy for ~23.5% of electricity demand in Portugal. We explain the reasons wind power became a key part of Portugal’s strategy to comply with European Commission climate and energy goals, and provide a detailed review of the wind feed-in tariff mechanism. We describe the actors involved in wind power production growth. We estimate the environmental and energy dependency gains achieved through wind power generation, and highlight the correlation between wind electricity generation and electricity exports. Finally, we compare the Portuguese wind policies with others countries’ policy designs and discuss the relevance of a feed-in tariff reform for subsequent wind power additions.
