- Optimización del desarrollo de la energia termosolar en españa en el contexto de la transición energéticaPublication . Blanco Galvez, Julian; Bonilla, J.; Zarza, Eduardo; Alarcón-Padilla, Diego-CésarRESUMEN: Este artículo presenta un resumen de los resultados obtenidos al estudiar cuál debe ser la evolución del mix eléctrico en España durante los próximos 30 años si se desea cumplir con determinados escenarios de reducción de las emisiones de CO2 del sector eléctrico en relación a las del año 1990. El estudio se ha realizado usando un algoritmo genético con optimización multiobjetivo. Se han considerado dos escenarios de reducción de emisiones de CO2: 1) escenario moderado del 40% (2030), 60% (2040) y 80% (2050); 2) escenario agresivo del 50% (2030), 75% (2040) y 100% (2050). Los resultados mostrados en este artículo indican que el escenario moderado es factible, sin que ello conlleve altos costes de la electricidad o excesivos vertidos. Una reducción del 80% en las emisiones de CO2 en el año 2050 requerirá un mix eléctrico renovable en un 86.34% y conllevaría un coste aproximado de la electricidad de 47,4 €/MWh. Pero si se desea cumplir el escenario agresivo (mercado eléctrico sin emisiones de CO2 en 2050) el mix eléctrico necesario supondría un coste de 62,9 €/MWh para la electricidad suministrada a la red y unos vertidos de 222,38 TWh frente a una demanda total de 316,55 TWh, lo que supone un excesivo porcentaje de vertidos. Los resultados obtenidos también han mostrado que la única forma de poder obtener un mix eléctrico 100% renovable en 2050 sin unos excesivos vertidos sería disponer de tecnologías competitivas de almacenamiento y gestión a gran escala de la electricidad excedente, porque esto permitiría reducir de forma muy importante la potencia instalada de fotovoltaica, eólica y termosolar, consiguiéndose menores costes de la electricidad y menores vertidos.
- EU-SOLARIS: The European Research Infrastructure Consortium for CSP TechnologiesPublication . Martinez, Diego; Blanco Galvez, Julian; Zarza, Eduardo; Sánchez-Moreno, Ricardo; Bataille, Francoise; Flamant, Gilles; Georgiou, Marios; Richter, Christoph; Blanco, Manuel; Cardoso, João P.; Horta, Pedro; Canavarro, DiogoABSTRACT: After many years of fruitful collaboration in the field of research infrastructures (RIs) for concentrated solar power/solar thermal energy applications, several European countries decided to apply to the European Commission to go a step forward and create a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), a new legal form of association which poses a number of advantages in the endeavour for a further development of this technology in Europe at all levels. This new consortium, EU-SOLARIS ERIC, is likely to be legally implemented in October 2022, after a long negotiation and evaluation process, where the support of the respective Governmental research agencies of the countries involved has been crucial. EU-SOLARIS ERIC will be a legal entity and its main goal will be the improvement of the interoperability, accessibility and quality of services provided by the existing European research infrastructures to the CSP/STE research communities and industrial stakeholders. Although the current Members of the EU-SOLARIS consortium are Germany, France, Cyprus and Spain (Statutory Seat at Plataforma Solar de Almeria, Spain), plus Portugal as an Observer, it is open to any other country willing to participate as Member or Observer.
- Current Progress of Activities at EU-SOLARIS ERIC: The European Research Infrastructure Consortium for CSP TechnologiesPublication . Sánchez-Moreno, Ricardo; Blanco Galvez, Julian; Guillot, Emmanuel; Flamant, Gilles; Blanco Muriel, Manuel Jesus; Benitez, Daniel; Georgiou, Marios; Fylaktos, Nestor; Cardoso, João; Canavarro, Diogo; Martín, José; Martinez, DiegoABSTRACT: An ERIC, established by a decision of the European Commission, is a legal entity possessing legal personality and full legal capacity acknowledged across all EU Member States. Its primary role is to establish and operate a research infrastructure on a non-economic basis. Under the initiative of Spain, France, Germany, and Cyprus as Members, with Portugal as an Observer, a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) has been formed. This consortium, named "European Solar Research Infrastructure for Concentrated Solar Power" (EU-SOLARIS ERIC) is established in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No. 723/2009 of 25 June 2009. The establishment of an ERIC was sanctioned by the European Commission, as evidenced in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2297 of 19 October 2022 [1]. The inaugural assembly of the EU-SOLARIS ERIC took place at the CIEMAT Headquarters in Madrid on 12th January 2023. During this gathering, the General Assembly was officially convened, and the Statutes along with other governing documents were formally endorsed. At the time of composing this document, negotiations for the accession of three additional countries—Greece, Turkey, and Italy—are underway. This paper summarizes the R&D activities carried out during this first year of the ERIC, particularly, we describe the new projects achieved.
