TL;DR: The results of the operative tests and the cost comparison of the own-designed developed Web-SCADA system prove its reliability and low-cost, on average an 86% cheaper than a standard brandmark solution, for controlling, monitoring and data logging information, as well as for local and remote operation system when applied to the HRES microgrid testbed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based model hybridized with a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for a Biomass Gasification Plant (BGP) that allows estimating the amount of biomass needed to produce the required syngas to meet the energy demand.

TL;DR: The methodology ranked the criteria and helped to design a HRES in an isolated Honduran rural community in the Mesoamerican Dry Corridor and the most influential factors turned out to be the institutional support, the possible expansion of the grid to the community and the availability of local energy resources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a methodology to verify the sustainability of the sector by the introduction of EVs, by means of the Well-to-Wheel tool, it compares emissions generated by two fleets: one based on internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) and another one that also contemplates different EVs penetration levels.

TL;DR: A methodology based on the use of the temporal valleys in the daily electricity demand is developed for EV recharge, avoiding the peak demand hours to minimize the impact on the grid.
