Human development is associated directly or indirectly with the energy use, and because of this the energetic sources were dealt with in the recent past, as fully available to human necessities. The reality shows that the ...

The correlation between water and energy is currently the focus of several investigations. In particular, desalination is a technological process characterized by high energy consumption

Fifteen years after the publication of the article entitled “Energy Education: breaking up the rational energy use barriers” in 2004, what were the paths taken and scientific contributions made towards a rational energy ...

This tutorial, dedicated both to young professionals and students working with digital signal processing and pattern recognition, introduces three feature extraction approaches based on signal energy, characterising ...

Productive processes are the largest consumers in power systems. The energy required by these processes is usually supplied by the power grid with its associated high operative costs. In this work, we propose a methodology ...

Energy and water have faced important levels of conflicts in the last 20–25 years in Chile. However, the way that they have been politically addressed in the last decade differs. These differences emerge from how these ...

Adds to the debate on environmental protection policy in the energy sector re-regulation process of Latin America and the Caribbean. Includes the results of the OLADE-ECLAC-G12 Project on Energy and Sustainable Development ...

The introduction of non-conventional energy sources (NCES) to industrial processes is a viable alternative to reducing the energy consumed from the grid. However, a robust coordination of the local energy resources with ...
