The development of new communities to facilitate the growing population isan ongoing trend, with locations outside the city limits so as to have morearea and less pollution. The main need in isolated communities is to secureenergy demand, which is normally done with power supply from the maingrid, which will require new transmission lines and transformer installation,among other things. As we strive for net-zero energy buildings, the energysource should be renewable and clean. So far, the most common andefficient renewable sources available in abundance are solar and windpower. So, based on the location, we investigate how we can make thesystem of combined solar, and wind power a successful energy source sothat the load of the community can be fulfilled while at the same time thepower from the main grid is isolated. This analysis is done for off-gridsystems to analyze a combined Solar and Wind energy production andcalculate the needed storage, also presenting a comparison with Dieselbased generation and an Economical perspective,for the different locations.As an output of this analysis a program has been developed to examineother locations on bases of local load data.

The world is currently submerged in two big problems: supply energy crisis and climate change. It is clear that society has to do its best to overcome these challenges, and one effective way to mitigate their effects is by conducting an energy audit, which helps to identify the weaknesses and strengths of the buildings, enabling improvements in their thermal efficiency.  The main goal of this study was to carry out an energy audit on a century-old single- family house located in a city in the middle of Sweden. To achieve this, relevant data of the building was gathered such as the bills and some temperature and dimension measurements. Subsequently, the calculations of the energy losses and gains were done manually. From this step it was observed that almost 70 % of the thermal losses occurred due to transmission through the walls, windows and roof. To reduce these losses, potential energy-saving measures were studied, such as replacing the 2-panel windows with 3-panel windows and adding 200 mm of mineral wool to the roof. Both improvements reduced transmission losses around 700 kWh/year and diminished CO2 emissions around 20 kg/year, which implied a decrease of 1262 and 1277 SEK per year for each measure respectively. However, the profitability of these measures was difficult to attain because the required initial capitals are probably higher than the investments allowed, which are around 17371 and 17579 SEK for each measure respectively.  Moreover, a study about installing photovoltaic solar cells was conducted and it resulted in a significant positive impact in the energy usage of the house. In particular, this improvement lead to a reduction of 2471 kWh per year, which equaled to an annual decrease of 6036 SEK. These annual savings implied an investment allowed of 58620 SEK. Furthermore, a decrease of 99 kg of CO2 emissions per year was obtained. In conclusion, this measure yielded substantial profitability, making it the most recommended option for future energy-saving improvements.  Finally, changing in the occupant’s behavior by reducing the indoor temperature had a positive impact on the house without the need for an initial investment. Specifically, it decreased around 105 kWh per year.

[pt] O aumento da participação de fontes de energias renováveis variáveis (ERVs) na matriz elétrica do Brasil traz diversos desafios ao planejamento e à operação do Sistema Elétrico Brasileiro (SEB), devido à estocasticidade das ERVs. Tais desafios envolvem a modelagem e simulação dos processos intermitentes de geração e, dessa forma, um volume considerável de pesquisas tem sido direcionado ao tema. Nesse contexto, um tópico de crescente importância na literatura relaciona-se ao desenvolvimento de metodologias para simulação estocástica conjunta de recursos intermitentes com características complementares, como, por exemplo, as fontes eólica e solar. Visando contribuir com essa temática, este trabalho propõe melhorias a um modelo de simulação já estabelecido na literatura, avaliando sua aplicabilidade a partir de dados do Nordeste brasileiro. A metodologia proposta baseia-se em discretização das séries temporais de energia aplicando a técnica de machine learning k-means, construção de matrizes de transição de estados com base nos clusters identificados e simulação de Monte Carlo para obtenção dos cenários. As séries sintéticas obtidas são comparadas aos resultados gerados pelo modelo já estabelecido na literatura a partir de técnicas estatísticas. Quanto ao alcance dos objetivos da pesquisa, a modelagem proposta se mostrou mais eficiente, gerando cenários que reproduziram satisfatoriamente todas as características dos dados históricos avaliadas. / [en] The increased participation of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) in Brazil s electricity matrix brings several challenges to the planning and operation of the Brazilian Power System (BPS), due to the VRES stochasticity. Such challenges involve the modeling and simulation of intermittent generation processes and, in this context, a considerable amount of research has been directed to the theme. In this context, a topic of increasing importance in the literature is related to the development of methodologies for joint stochastic simulation of intermittent resources with complementary characteristics, such as wind and solar sources. Aiming to contribute to this theme, this work proposes improvements in a simulation model already established in the literature, evaluating its applicability based on Brazilian Northeast data. The proposed methodology is based on the discretization of energy time series applying the kmeans machine learning technique, construction of state transition matrices based on the identified clusters, and Monte Carlo simulation to obtain the scenarios. The synthetic series obtained are compared to the results generated by the model already established in the literature from statistical techniques. Regarding the scope of the research objectives, the proposed modeling demonstrated more promising results, generating scenarios that satisfactorily reproduced all the evaluated characteristics of the historical data.
