publishes the four foundational Collaboration Standards to promote solutions to
common city challenges. City Protocol is a collaborative innovation framework
that fosters city-centric solutions which benefit citizens and their quality of life. It
seeks to define a common systems view for cities of any size or type, and then
embraces or develops protocols that will help innovators create – and modern
cities deploy – cross-sectorial solutions that can connect and/or break city silos.
City Protocol aims at working across diverse cities by interconnecting them and
ultimately creating the “Internet of Cities”.

Most Christmas lights, televisions and flashlights have one thing in common:
they’re made with light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs are widely used for a
variety of applications and have been a popular, more efficient alternative to
fluorescent and incandescent bulbs for the past few decades. Two University of
Utah researchers have now found a way to create LEDs from food and beverage
waste. In addition to utilizing food and beverage waste that would otherwise
decompose and be of no use, this development can also reduce potentially
harmful waste from LEDs generally made from toxic elements.

Development of a Smart Grid Simulation Environment
Publicada en ScienceDirect_Publications, 23/11/2015.
With the increased integration of renewable energy sources the interaction between energy producers and
consumers has become a bi-directional exchange. Therefore, the electrical grid must be adapted into a smart grid
which effectively regulates this two-way interaction. With the aid of simulation, stakeholders can obtain information on
how to properly develop and control the smart grid. In this paper, we present the development of an integrated smart
grid simulation model, using the Anylogic simulation environment. Among the elements which are included in the
simulation model are houses connected to a renewable energy source, and batteries as storage devices. With the
use of the these elements a neighbourhood model can be constructed and simulated under multiple scenarios and
configurations. The developed simulation environment provides users better insight into the effects of running
different configurations in their houses as well as allow developers to study the inter-exchange of energy between
elements in a smart city on multiple levels.

The performance of a modified solar still using hot air injection and
PCM
Publicada en Science Direct, 19/11/2015.
A double passes solar air collector–coupled modified solar still, with Phase Change Material (PCM), have been
experimentally investigated to enhance the freshwater productivity. The influence of the injected hot air on the
performance of a modified still, with PCM, is investigated. A comparison between a modified still, with both PCM and
hot air injection, and the conventional still is carried out to evaluate the enhancement in the freshwater productivity.
The experiments were carried out under the same atmospheric conditions. The experimental results show that, the
freshwater productivity approximately reached 9.36 (L/m2 day) for the double passes solar air collector–coupled

Reduced order modeling and parameter identification of a building
energy system model through an optimization routine
Publicada en ScienceDirect_Publications, 16/11/2015.
Different control techniques together with intelligent building technology (Building Automation Systems) are used to
improve energy efficiency of buildings. In almost all control projects, it is crucial to have building energy models with
high computational efficiency in order to design and tune the controllers and simulate their performance. In this paper,
a set of partial differential equations are formulated accounting for energy flow within the building space. These
equations are then solved as conventional finite difference equations using Crank–Nicholson scheme. Such a model
of a higher order is regarded as a benchmark model. An optimization algorithm has been developed, depicted
through a flowchart, which minimizes the sum squared error between the step responses of the numerical and the
optimal model. Optimal model of the construction element is nothing but a RC-network model with the values of Rs
and Cs estimated using the non-linear time invariant constrained optimization routine.

Diamond encapsulated photovoltaics for transdermal power
delivery
Publicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 16/11/2015.
A safe, compact and robust means of wireless energy transfer across the skin barrier is a key requirement for
implantable electronic devices. One possible approach is photovoltaic (PV) energy delivery using optical illumination
at near infrared (NIR) wavelengths, to which the skin is highly transparent. In the work presented here, a
subcutaneously implantable silicon PV cell, operated in conjunction with an external NIR laser diode, is developed as
a power delivery system. The biocompatibility and long-term biostability of the implantable PV is ensured through the
use of an hermetic container, comprising a transparent diamond capsule and platinum wire feedthroughs. A
wavelength of 980 nm is identified as the optimum operating point based on the PV cell's external quantum efficiency,
the skin's transmission spectrum, and the wavelength dependent safe exposure limit of the skin. In bench-top
experiments using an external illumination intensity of 0.7 W/cm2, a peak output power of 2.7 mW is delivered to the
implant with an active PV cell dimension of 1.5×1.5×0.06 mm3. This corresponds to a volumetric power output
density of 20 mW/mm3, significantly higher than power densities achievable using inductively coupled coil-based
approaches used in other medical implant systems. This approach paves the way for further ministration of bionic
implants

Diversity in solar photovoltaic energy: Implications for innovation
and policy
Publicada en Science Direct, 13/11/2015.
We undertake a qualitative empirical study of the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry in order to investigate the role of
diversity in stimulating innovation and diffusion. Based on evolutionary-economic concepts, we identify the main
dimensions and components of diversity in the solar PV industry. Using nine indicators and additional information
about recent developments regarding technologies, markets and actors (countries and firms), the dynamic potential is
assessed for the various solar PV technologies. It is concluded that the dominant trend is an increase or maintenance
of diversity among solar PV technologies, which likely contributes positively to innovation and diffusion. We discuss
the implications of taking into account the role of diversity of solar PV in the design of energy policies.

Increasing climate-related-energy penetration by integrating run-ofthe river hydropower to wind/solar mix
Publicada en Science Direct, 13/11/2015.
The penetration rate of Climate Related Energy sources like solar-power, wind-power and hydro-power source is
potentially low as a result of the large space and time variability of their driving climatic variables. Increased
penetration rates can be achieved with mixes of sources. Optimal mixes, i.e. obtained with the optimal share for each
source, are being identified for a number of regions worldwide. However, they often consider wind and solar power
only. Based on 33 years of daily data (1980–2012) for a set of 12 European regions, we re-estimate the optimal mix
when wild run-of-the-river energy is included in the solar/wind mix. It is found to be highly region dependent but the
highest shares are often obtained for run-of-the-river, ranging from 35% to 65% in Belarus and England. High solar
shares (>40%) are found in southern countries but solar shares drop to less than 15% in northern countries. Wind
shares range from 10 to 35% with the exception of Norway where it reaches 50%. These results put in perspective
the optimal 60%–40% wind/solar mix currently used for Europe. For all regions, including run-of-the-river in the mix
allows increasing the penetration rate of CREs (from 1 to 8% points).

Building Automation Systems: Concepts and Technology Review
Publicada en ScienceDirect_Publications, 13/11/2015.
Despite the popularity of the subject, one surprising aspect of Building Automation (BA) is the scarcity of authoritative
literature references regarding the topic. This situation hampers communication between developers and contributes
to the well-known problem of heterogeneity where there is difficulty in integrating solutions from different
manufacturers with each other. This article systematizes fundamental concepts and requirements of BA systems,
defining each aspect based upon established literature standards. Using these aspects as guidelines, the main BA
technology specifications available are then reviewed with respect to their coverage of features. We then proceed by
showing that none of the analyzed specifications are able to totally cover the expected standard functionality span of
BA. Finally, we conclude that none of the existing approaches are able to fully overcome the problem of
heterogeneity by satisfactorily addressing all the aspects of BA endorsed by the standards.

Electric vehicles charging using photovoltaic: Status and
technological review
Publicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 13/11/2015.
The integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) into the electric vehicle (EV) charging system has been on the rise due to
several factors, namely continuous reduction in the price of PV modules, rapid growth in EV and concerns over the
effects of greenhouse gases. Despite the numerous review articles published on EV charging using the utility (grid)
electrical supply, so far, none has given sufficient emphasis on the PV charger. With the growing interest in this
subject, this review paper summarizes and update all the related aspects on PV–EV charging, which include the
power converter topologies, charging mechanisms and control for both PV–grid and PV-standalone/hybrid systems.
In addition, the future outlook and the challenges that face this technology are highlighted. It is envisaged that the
information gathered in this paper will be a valuable one-stop source of information for researchers working in this

The potential of agrivoltaic systems
Publicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 13/11/2015.
In order to meet global energy demands with clean renewable energy such as with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems,
large surface areas are needed because of the relatively diffuse nature of solar energy. Much of this demand can be
matched with aggressive building integrated PV and rooftop PV, but the remainder can be met with land-based PV
farms. Using large tracts of land for solar farms will increase competition for land resources as food production
demand and energy demand are both growing and vie for the limited land resources. This land competition is
exacerbated by the increasing population. These coupled land challenges can be ameliorated using the concept of
agrivoltaics or co-developing the same area of land for both solar PV power as well as for conventional agriculture. In
this paper, the agrivoltaic experiments to date are reviewed and summarized.

Life cycle cost of photovoltaic technologies in commercial
buildings in Baja California, Mexico
Publicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 11/11/2015.
The appropriate use of photovoltaic technologies is essentially based on the identification of the available solar
resource at the location in which they will be installed and the energy demand concerned. The purpose of this paper
is to identify the geometric orientations that provide the best life-cycle cost for a multi-crystalline photovoltaic module,
in order to supply electric energy for commercial buildings in three locations in Baja California, Mexico. The energy
production of photovoltaic technologies was estimated on TRNSYS® according to a Typical Meteorological Year
(TMY) simulated through spatial interpolation methods in Meteonorm®. Energy generation was compared in different
orientations and inclinations of the photovoltaic array, its cost was calculated from the grid of the Federal Electricity
Commission of Mexico. As a result, it was observed that in the city of Mexicali (hot-dry climate) the highest costbenefit factor (3.17) and the shortest return on investment (13.02 years) was reached. The results showed that the
multi-crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells represent a feasible investment option when installed in commercial

Four novel small molecules, Ph(DPP-Th)2, Ph(DPP-Py)2, Ph(DPP-ThCN)2 and Ph(DPP-ThR)2 were synthesized
and characterized, in which diketopyrrolopyrrole-phenyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole was used as the core, donor units of 2octylthiophene (Th), pyrene (Py), acceptor units octyl 2-cyano-3-(thiophen-2-yl)-acrylate (ThCN) and 3-octyl-5(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)rodanine (ThR) were used as the terminals, respectively. By changing the terminals of small
molecules, their corresponding thermal, absorptive, electro-chemical and photovoltaic properties were rationally
adjusted for applications as donor materials in organic solar cells (OSCs). All of small molecules exhibit broad
absorption spectra from the visible to near-infrared region, and Ph(DPP-ThR)2 showed the minimum optical band gap
of 1.48 eV. The small molecules with acceptor terminal units had much deeper HOMO energy levels than those with
donor terminal units, which is important to increase the open-circuit voltage (Voc).

In this study, we explore the use of various ratios of TiO2 nanoparticle (NP)/nanowire (NW) composite films in backilluminated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on cobalt redox couples. TiO2 NPs provided sufficient surface
areas for dye adsorption and TiO2 NWs helped efficient charge transport in NP/NW composite film. Furthermore,
incorporation of NWs in TiO2 film makes it more porous, relaxing the limited mass transport of cobalt redox ions. As a
result, DSSCs with proper weight percentage of NW incorporated TiO2 NP/NW composite film showed a superior
photovoltaic performance to DSSCs with pure TiO2 NPs film.

Spectroscopic and photoluminescence properties of MgO:Cr3+
nanosheets for WLEDs
Publicada en ScienceDirect_LED, 02/11/2015.
This work explores the synthesis of nanocrystalline MgO:Cr3+ (1–9 mol%) nanophosphors via solution combustion
route at 400 °C. The nanophosphors were well characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy.
PXRD results confirm cubic phase and SEM micrographs indicate that the particles are highly porous and
agglomerated. The TEM images show that the powder consists of spherical particles of size 5–15 nm. Upon 356 nm
excitation the emission profile of MgO:Cr3+ exhibits an emission peak at 677 nm due to 2Eg 4A2g transition. It was
observed that PL intensity increases with increase in Cr3+ concentration and highest PL intensity was observed for 3
mol% doped sample and afterward it decreases, attributed to concentration quenching. The resultant CIE
chromaticity co-ordinates in the white region make the present phosphor highly useful for display applications and
also for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs).
