Sobre

Licenciado em Engenharia Eletrotécnica pela Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), Portugal em 1991. Concluí o Mestrado em Engenharia Eletrotécnica, ramo de eletrónica de potência em 1997 pela UTAD e o Doutoramento em Engenharia Eletrotécnica (Análise Harmónica em Redes Eletricas BT) em 2007 pela mesma universidade. Atualmente sou professor auxiliar no Departamento de Engenharias da UTAD e também investigador do INESCTEC, pólo da UTAD. As minhas áreas de investigação principais são a qualidade de energia, máquinas elétricas e energias renováveis.

Abstract
The increase in renewable generation of a distributed nature has brought significant new challenges to power and energy system management and operation. Self-consumption in buildings is widespread, and with it rises the need for novel, adaptive and intelligent building energy management systems. Although there is already extensive research and development work regarding building energy management solutions, the capabilities for adaptation and contextualization of decisions are still limited. Consequently, this paper proposes a novel contextual rule-based system for energy management in buildings, which incorporates a contextual dimension that enables the adaptability of the system according to diverse contextual situations and the presence of multiple users with different preferences. Results of a case study based on real data show that the contextualization of the energy management process can maintain energy costs as low as possible, while respecting user preferences and guaranteeing their comfort.

FRONTIERS IN SUSTAINABLE CITIES

Abstract
Despite the ubiquitous term climate neutral cities, there is a distinct lack of quantifiable and meaningful municipal decarbonization goals in terms of the targeted energy balance and composition that collectively connect to national scenarios. In this paper we present a simple but useful allocation approach to derive municipal targets for energy demand reduction and renewable expansion based on national energy transition strategies in combination with local potential estimators. The allocation uses local and regional potential estimates for demand reduction and the expansion of renewables and differentiates resulting municipal needs of action accordingly. The resulting targets are visualized and opened as a decision support system (DSS) on a web-platform to facilitate the discussion on effort sharing and potential realization in the decarbonization of society. With the proposed framework, different national scenarios, and their implications for municipal needs for action can be compared and their implications made explicit.

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY GRIDS & NETWORKS

Abstract
Renewable energy generation technologies, heat pumps or electric vehicle (EV) charging stations use active power electronics such as IGBT or MOSFET for AC to DC conversion with the consequence of emissions in the higher frequency range above 2 kHz (non-intentional supraharmonic emissions) and with an impact to the higher frequency grid impedance. In this study the impact of active power electronics on the higher frequency grid impedance in the range up to 150 kHz is analyzed. As existing grid modelling solutions do not consider these technologies sufficiently, this study analyzes the impact of a vehicle to grid (V2G) chargers to a representative distribution grid considering different grid topologies and different types of V2G chargers. The study shows that the additional capacitance and inductance (LCL filter, DC link capacitor) introduced in the electrical grid causes parallel and series resonances in a wide frequency range starting from 500 Hz up to 50 kHz. The grid topology and the number of V2G chargers connected determines the frequency range and characteristics of resonances. Finally, the major contribution of this study is outlining the importance of considering the higher frequency grid impedance for characterization of supraharmonic emissions (primary vs. secondary emissions) and their propagation.

SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract
The United Nations has issued a warning over the limited time for climate disaster prevention. In the last two decades, several countries have set targets to reduce fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions. These goals are tracked through the adoption of energy systems that prioritise efficiency and low-carbon alternatives, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals outlined by the United Nations. In the winemaking sector, the wine produced in the European Union comprised 65 % of the worldwide total from 2014 to 2018, with vineyards making up 4.7 % of its farms in 2020. Electricity is the primary source of energy used in vineries, accounting for around 90 % of the total energy consumption. The energy consumption associated with winemaking is mostly attributed to two key processes: fermentation, which accounts for 45 % to 90 % of the entire energy consumption, and bottling and storage, which contribute around 18 % of the overall energy consumption. The aim of this article is to provide an integrated review of energy efficiency in wineries through examining 144 academic publications. The selected publications cover various aspects, including sustainable energy utilisation in the wine industry, thermal performance analysis of buildings, energy efficiency assessment of systems and technologies, and the integration of renewable energy sources. A link has been established between the geographic distribution of academic publications and wine -producing countries. In relation to European publications, it is observed that research funding is associated with the energy directives of the European Union. It can also be concluded that wine customers are pushing for environmentally friendly practices. However, not everyone in the winemaking sector is moving in the same direction or at the same pace. To identify areas for improvement, winemakers must have supporting tools to manage energy use. Systems optimisation, monitoring, and accounting can be used to decrease energy consumption in winemaking processes or equipment. Progresses on sustainable energy use through greater energy efficiency and share of renewable energies in the wineries can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and consequently, brings the wine industry closer to climate neutrality.

Abstract
With excess energy use from non-renewable sources, new energy generation solutions must be adopted to make up for this excess. In this sense, the integration of renewable energy sources in high-rise buildings reduces the need for energy from the national power grid to maximize the self-sustainability of common services. Moreover, self-consumption in low-voltage and medium-voltage networks strongly facilitates a reduction in external energy dependence. For consumers, the benefits of installing small wind turbines and energy storage systems include tax benefits and reduced electricity bills as well as a profitable system after the payback period. This paper focuses on assessing the wind potential in a high-rise building through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, quantifying the potential for wind energy production by small wind turbines (WT) at the installation site. Furthermore, a mathematical model is proposed to optimize wind energy production for a self-consumption system to minimize the total cost of energy purchased from the grid, maximizing the return on investment. The potential of a CFD-based project practice that has wide application in developing the most varied processes and equipment results in a huge reduction in the time and costs spent compared to conventional practices. Furthermore, the optimization model guarantees a significant decrease in the energy purchased at peak hours through the energy stored in energy storage systems (ESS). The results show that the efficiency of the proposed model leads to an investment amortization period of 7 years for a lifetime of 20 years.
