Publication Open Access Energy management for an electro-thermal renewable based residential microgrid with energy balance forecasting and demand side management(Elsevier, 2021) Pascual Miqueleiz, Julio María; Arcos Avilés, Diego; Ursúa Rubio, Alfredo; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo; Marroyo Palomo, Luis; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenThis paper proposes an energy management strategy for a residential microgrid comprising photovoltaic (PV) panels, a small wind turbine and solar thermal collectors. The microgrid can control the power exchanged with the grid thanks to a battery and a controllable electric water heater, which provide two degrees of freedom to the control strategy. As input data, the proposed control strategy uses the battery state of charge (SOC), the temperature of the hot water tank, the power of each microgrid element as well as the demand and renewable generation forecasts. By using forecasted data and by controlling the electric water heater, the strategy is able to achieve a better grid power profile while using a smaller battery than previous works, hence reducing the overall cost of the system. The strategy is tested by means of simulation with real data for one year and it is also experimentally validated in the microgrid built at the Renewable Energy Laboratory at the UPNA.Publication Open Access Influence of the aging model of lithium-ion batteries on the management of PV self-consumption systems(IEEE, 2018) Berrueta Irigoyen, Alberto; Pascual Miqueleiz, Julio María; San Martín Biurrun, Idoia; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo; Ursúa Rubio, Alfredo; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, PI038 INTEGRA-RENOVABLESLithium-ion batteries are gaining importance for a variety of applications due to their improving characteristics and decreasing price. An accurate knowledge of their aging is required for a successful use of these ESSs. The vast number of models that has been proposed to predict these phenomena raise doubts about the suitability of a model for a particular battery application. The performance of three models published for a Sanyo 18650 cylindrical cell in a self-consumption system are compared in this work. Measured photovoltaic production and home consumption with a sampling frequency of 15 minutes are used for this comparison. The different aging predictions calculated by these three models are analyzed, compared and discussed. These comparison is particularized for two management strategies. The first of them maximizes the self-consumption PV energy, while the second reduces the maximum power peak demanded from the grid.Publication Open Access On the requirements of the power converter for second-life lithium-ion batteries(IEEE, 2019) Berrueta Irigoyen, Alberto; San Martín Biurrun, Idoia; Pascual Miqueleiz, Julio María; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo; Ursúa Rubio, Alfredo; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaThe use of lithium-ion batteries is increasing year after year, especially in the automotive sector. Given the high requirements of electric vehicles, their energy storage systems are discarded when they still have around 70% of its initial capacity. These discarded batteries are being studied as a low-price option for stationary systems, mostly related to renewable energy generation, with lower battery requirements. However, the increasing dispersion of cell capacity detailed in this contribution limits the use of second-life cells if regular battery management systems and power converters. We present in this contribution an experimental comparison of the capacity dispersion between fresh and second-life cells, and detail the relationship between the capacity dispersion and the required BMS functionality. Furthermore, we include the ageing phenomena in the analysis by means of experimental ageing results, given that the capacity dispersion is enlarged as the battery ages. After this, we use this data to quantify advantages and disadvantages of a combined BMS and power converter, based on a multilevel topology, compared to a conventional BMS. The most relevant result, when a 55-cell battery is analysed, is a 65% increase in capacity during its whole second life if the BMS and power converter are combined by means of a multilevel topology. The increased level of complexity required by the combined BMS-power converter architecture is analysed in this contribution, providing a convenient tool for the selection of the most suitable option for each application.Publication Open Access Economic analysis of residential PV self-consumption systems with Li-ion batteries under different billing scenarios(IEEE, 2019) Galilea Gil, Carlos; Pascual Miqueleiz, Julio María; Berrueta Irigoyen, Alberto; Ursúa Rubio, Alfredo; Marroyo Palomo, Luis; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, 0011-1411-2017-000021In this paper, an economic analysis for four houses with a PV self-consumption system with and without Li-ion batteries is carried out. In particular three different ways of sizing PV and batteries are analyzed under three different billing scenarios for the compensation of surplus energy injected into the grid. All methods run under the same energy strategy, which maximizes self-consumption. The three billing scenarios are: (1) no retribution for surplus energy, (2) retribution at pool price (net billing), and (3) monthly net metering. This study shows how fixed costs make these systems just profitable for small systems. Moreover, the results show how the battery cost and lifespan affects the final profitability of the system and what future evolution in these factors is needed for making these systems profitable under different billing methods.Publication Open Access Hydrogen educational activities developed by APERNA: a renewable-energy student association(Asociación Española del Hidrógeno, 2016) Berrueta Irigoyen, Alberto; San Martín Biurrun, Idoia; Samanes Pascual, Javier; Pascual Miqueleiz, Julio María; Barrios Rípodas, Ernesto; Parra Laita, Íñigo de la; Urtasun Erburu, Andoni; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo; Ursúa Rubio, Alfredo; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónIn this paper, we present APERNA, a recently-created student association at Public University of Navarre (UPNA) with the aim of promotion of renewable energies.Publication Open Access Development of energy management strategies for the sizing of a fast charging station for electric buses(IEEE, 2020) Ojer Palacios, Iñaki; Berrueta Irigoyen, Alberto; Pascual Miqueleiz, Julio María; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo; Ursúa Rubio, Alfredo; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, 0011–1411–2018–000029 GERA; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, ReBMS PJUPNA1904The electric vehicle contributes to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and get a greater integration of renewable energy. In this context, the implementation of urban buses implies the development of new grid infrastructures in order to carry out the electricity supply required by the charging stations. In order to optimize the size of these infrastructures and to have more power capacity, this contribution proposes the design and the sizing of a fast charging station with a stationary energy storage system (ESS) installed, to supply the energy of the buses that run on one of the lines of Pamplona (Spain). In this contribution, first, the power demanded by the charging point is measured at the fast charging station located at the Public University of Navarre. Second, three energy management strategies are developed with which to use ESS. Finally, the proposed energy management strategies are simulated with the measured data obtained. The results achieved in this contribution show that with a 40 kWh ESS, the power demanded from the grid can be reduced by a whole 70%, that is, from 250 kW to 74 kW. In addition, the power contracted in the electricity rate is reduced too.
