Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesNOTICIASBatería de Aluminio-Aire que permite una autonomía en vehículoseléctricos de más de 1600 KmPublicada en www.extremetech.com, 27/03/2015.

Phinergy, an Israeli startup, has demonstrated an aluminium-air battery that iscapable of powering an electric vehicle for up to 1,000 miles (1,609km). Unlikeother metal-air batteries that we’ve written about in the past, such as IBM’slithium-air battery, Phinergy’s Al-air battery actually consumes aluminium as afuel, allowing for an energy density that far surpasses conventional batterytechnologies and even begins to rival gas and diesel. Phinergy says it has signeda contract with a global automaker for “production volumes” of the battery,starting in 2017.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesLas baterías eléctricas son más baratas que según lasproyecciones para 2020Publicada en www.carbonbrief.org, 23/03/2015.

The cost of electric vehicle battery packs is falling so rapidly they are probablyalready cheaper than expected for 2020, according to a new study in NatureClimate Change. Electric vehicles remain more expensive than combustion-engine equivalents, largely because of battery costs. In 2013 the InternationalEnergy Agency (IEA) estimated cost-parity could be reached in 2020, withbattery costs reaching $300 per kilowatt hour of capacity.But market-leadingfirms were probably already producing cheaper batteries last year, says today'snew research. It says its figures are "two to four times lower than many recentpeer-reviewed papers have suggested".

Los tejados de nuevos edificios comerciales en Francia deberántener plantas o paneles solaresPublicada en www.digitaltrends.com, 21/03/2015.

Rooftops in France are about to get a whole lot greener, thanks to a new lawrequiring rooftops on new buildings constructed in commercial zones to bepartially covered in plants or solar panels. The law, approved by FrenchParliament on Thursday, was less comprehensive than the original demands byFrench environmental activists, who wanted to require completely green rooftopson all new buildings. The government convinced activists to scale back the reachof the law to only commercial buildings, as well as requiring only part of rooftopsto be covered with plants or solar panels, according to Agence France-Presse.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesReino Unido: "Nuestro Centro de Innovación Urbana es un pasohacia la construcción de mejores ciudades"Publicada en www.theguardian.com, 17/03/2015.

The future of cities is full of possibility – and uncertainty. Getting it right is morethan a matter of luck. Your future city could be one where shared, on-demandautonomous vehicles halve the number of vehicles on the road, without crashesand with quieter streets and cleaner air; where cleaning robots diligently polishphotovoltaic cells on the 16th floor of tower blocks engulfed in greenery; andwhere robot builders rapidly throw together elegant buildings made of cross-laminated timber, each sinuous slab tracked back to the forest it grew in.Or, asauthor Marc Goodman points out in his new book, Future Crimes, our futurecities could be ones where these same dynamics trample over privacy, ethicsand local cultural differences. Where fast-failing systems backed by venturecapitalists leach value from urban economies; where automation halves thenumber of jobs available to humans; and where surveillance-driven governancereplaces open, deliberative policy and planning.

Informe sobre el hogar conectado: Tendencias de futuro en losmercados del 'Internet de las cosas'Publicada en www.businessinsider.com, 16/03/2015.

Homes around the world are going to become smarter and more connected overthe next five years. Overall, a fair number of mainstream consumers still don'tfully understand what connected-home devices are and how they work, and sodemand hasn't reached its full potential. However, adoption and awareness is stillhigh for such a new category. We expect the devices to become more prevalentin the next two years, when growth will peak. In a recent report on the connectedhome, BI Intelligence takes a closer look at this market, and forecasts shipmentsand revenue growth for connected-home devices over the next five years. Wealso examine current consumer sentiment about these new devices, the potentialopportunities and barriers the Internet of Things will face on its way tomainstream adoption, and the leading companies currently in the market.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart Cities"Eficiencia Energética no es sólo ahorrar energía": Harry Verhaar,Philips LightingPublicada en www.theclimategroup.org, 12/03/2015.

After the publication of the 2015 Energy Productivity and Economic ProsperityIndex, authored by The Lisbon Council, Ecofys and Quintel Intelligence andcommissioned by Philips, we interviewed Harry Verhaar, Head of Global Public &Government Affairs, Philips Lighting, about the specific role of energy efficiencyand the future of the lighting sector. The 2015 Energy Productivity and EconomicProsperity Index report, which Philips commissioned, highlights that 98% of allenergy produced globally is wasted through inefficiency. How energy efficient isthe lighting sector?Take the classic example of the incandescent light bulb. Only 5% of theelectricity it consumes turns into light. But taking the whole energy chain intoaccount, from energy generation to the actual service, the average productivity ofan incandescent light bulb is only 1%.

Los cuatro principales argumentos en contra del coche eléctrico yen qué se equivocanPublicada en http://www.fool.com, 08/03/2015.

Here are the facts: Americans have purchased more than 290,000 electricvehicles since the end of 2010, when the Electric cars have been around formore than a century, and optimists have predicted their dominance for nearly aslong. So far, those predictions have been very wrong. Is it really different thistime?. Nissan (NASDAQOTH: NSANY ) Leaf became the first "affordable" EV toply American roadways since General Motors (NYSE: GM ) discontinued itsinfamous EV1. Nearly 140,000 of those vehicles have been battery-only,eschewing any combustion engine for a ride powered exclusively by electricity.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesInstalaciones Solares en la India alcanzan los 883 MW en 2014 (un12% menos que el año anterior)Publicada en Global Solar Technology_ Industry News, 03/03/2015.

Indian solar installations in calendar year 2014 totaled 883 MW, down 12 percent compared to 1,004 MW installed in2013. Mercom’s 2015 forecast is unchanged at approximately 1,800 MW with some upside. The Indian solar industryremains positive as solar programs are being announced with increased frequency and the installation goal continuesto grow. The 100 GW solar installation goal set recently by the Modi government has thrilled the sector, but theindustry is pragmatic and realizes that while 100 GW looks great on paper, the last five years have resulted in only3,000 MW in solar installations, with last year’s installations at less than 1 GW. “Most of the industry is confused asthey are constantly bombarded with new policies, goals, drafts and revisions,” commented Raj Prabhu, CEO and Co-Founder of Mercom Capital Group. “The last time the National Solar Mission (NSM) conducted a solar auction was inOctober 2013 - the industry just wants to see execution.” “The two most impactful steps the government can take tohelp the solar industry take off and bring substantial investments into the sector would be to: 1) fix the financial healthof DISCOM’s [utilities] and thereby improve the credit rating of offtakers, and 2) classify ‘renewables’ as a prioritylending sector in India, making more funds available for solar,” continued Prabhu.

Ecobuild: La Energía Solar se incluirá en el programa de eficienciaenergética del Reino UnidoPublicada en PV Magazine, 03/03/2015.

U.K. Energy Secretary Ed Davey called for bolder solar PV targets as a part of the Green Deal. Davey made hisremarks while delivering the Ecobuild keynote speech today in London, clearly enunciating part of his party's 2015General Election campaign. The context for Energy Secretary Ed Davey’s remarks on solar PV, delivered today atEcobuild, was as the U.K.'s current and future energy efficiency policies. The energy efficiency market, said Davey,has changed in nature, developing many more aspects than purely providing insulation for homes. It now includes alltechnologies concerning the various ways to reduce homes energy needs and also generate energy on site. Thus,the current energy efficiency policy framework is to include various tools such as solar PV feed-in tariffs (FITs) andrenewable heat incentives.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesIngeniero Industrial de la Universidad pública de Navarra desarrollaun modelo que podría ayudar a aumentar la Eficiencia Energética

Publicada en Google noticias, 02/03/2015.

Iñigo de la Parra Laita, an industrial engineer of the NUP/UPNA-Public University of Navarre, has focussed his PhDthesis on the grid integration of large photovoltaic power stations. Among the contributions of his research he hasdeveloped a model that has been patented and which is capable of simulating fluctuations in photovoltaic power. Ashe explains, “just by knowing the irradiance recorded in one spot, the number of grouped power stations and theaverage surface area they occupy, we can simulate what fluctuations may take place in photovoltaic power". Rightnow, one of the problems the operator is facing is the impossibility of knowing the power variations that may takeplace in different points of the system in which various photovoltaic power stations converge. “To find out thisinformation one could fit power loggers at all the stations, but that is a very costly solution and, what is more, difficultbecause the power stations tend to have different owners”.

By Jason Knott, March 02, 2015. Did the custom electronics industry sign up fora life-long membership in the federal witness protection program? Is recognitionfor this industry buried with Jimmy Hoffa? Yet another study has been releasedthat unveils the obscurity of the industry, despite the growing popularity of smarthome systems. This is the same mantra that has been repeated over the pastdecades about “hot” technologies such as home theater, audio systems, flatpanel TVs and home automation.According to a new study from ParksAssociates entitled “Key Competitive Elements for Smart Home ServiceProviders,” three out of every four U.S. broadband households has absolutely noidea whatsoever where to turn to get a “smart home system” installed. Likewise,about 70 percent of consumers have no idea where to purchase a “smart homesystem.”

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesUn desgolse de los retos que supone el IoT (infografia)Publicada en MEDCity News, 02/03/2015.

It’s National Consumer Protection Week, so an infographic by Laird Technologieshighlighting some of the security challenges with the Internet of Things seemsappropriate. The infographic highlights both consumer technologies such asfitness wearables and apps that connect to homes to do tasks such as remotelyadjusting home thermostats and enterprise technology, such as medical devicesthat can be located and tracked.Connecting, authenticating and securing Internetof Things communications is critical to prevent untrusted devices from gainingaccess. Another challenge is the need for alternative distributed computingmodels to handle the high volume of data. Earlier this year a Federal TradeCommission report called for tougher laws to shore up consumer privacy andsecurity concerns they identified with The Internet of Things. It called for devicedevelopers do a better job of building security into their devices from the start. Italso recommended that companies consider measures to keep unauthorizedusers from accessing a consumer’s device, data, or personal information storedon the network.

Un gran salto en tecnología OLEDPublicada en Phys.org_Light emitting diode, 02/03/2015.

Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), which are made from carbon-containingmaterials, have the potential to revolutionize future display technologies, makinglow-power displays so thin they'll wrap or fold around other structures, forinstance.Conventional LCD displays must be backlit by either fluorescent lightbulbs or conventional LEDs whereas OLEDs don't require back lighting. An evengreater technological breakthrough will be OLED-based laser diodes, andresearchers have long dreamed of building organic lasers, but they have beenhindered by the organic materials' tendency to operate inefficiently at the highcurrents required for lasing.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesLos principales rivales de Tesla en almacenamiento de energíaPublicada en www.marketwatch.com, 19/03/2015.

By ClaudiaAssis Energy reporter SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch)—TeslaMotors Inc. may be taking its time to become a virtual power plant offeringbatteries to home and businesses, but that doesn’t mean investors with an eyeon the sector have to wait. Storage is widely viewed as a key to more widespreaduse of renewable energy. Batteries could pick up where renewables sometimesleave off—the sun does not always shine, and the wind does not always blow.What many fail to take into account, however, is that storage already plays a rolein our century-old power grid. Companies big and small, old and new havewaded into the arena of energy storage. Storage smooths out fluctuations in thegrid and decouples generation and consumption, said Matt Roberts, executivedirector of the Energy Storage Association. It helps the grid run more efficientlyand more cheaply.The power grid is finicky—tiny fluctuations in frequency, forinstance, can make transformers explode. And then there are fluctuations indemand—such as those caused by a heat wave, or the evening spike as morepeople flip their switches.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesPUBLICACIONES CIENTÍFICASHigh-efficiency luminescent solar concentrators for flexiblewaveguiding photovoltaicsPublicada en Science Direct, 18/03/2015.

Here we present a new concept on lightweight and mechanically flexible high-performance waveguiding photovoltaicsthrough the fabrication of cylindrical luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) of commercial poly(methylmethacrylate)-based plastic optical fibers coated with an Eu3+-doped organic–inorganic hybrid layer. Our optimizedfiber LSC displays an effective optical conversion efficiency of 20.7±1.3% and a power conversion efficiency of2.5±0.2% in the absorbing spectral region of the active layer (300–380 nm), values that are among the larger onesreported so far for UV-absorbing devices. Moreover, the measured optical conversion efficiency was used tocalculate the self-absorption and transport efficiencies of the LSCs yielding values close to the unit. ConventionalLSCs are usually made of rigid glass or plastics with limited flexibility, hampering its applicability. The approachproposed here might then open new opportunities for cost-effective sunlight collection and wearable solar-harvestingfabrics for mobile energy with negligible self-absorption and transport losses.

Short-term smart learning electrical load prediction algorithm forhome energy management systemsPublicada en ScienceDirect_Publications, 11/03/2015.

Energy management system (EMS) within buildings has always been one of the main approaches for an automateddemand side management (DSM). These energy management systems are supposed to increase load flexibility to fitmore the generation from renewable energies and micro co-generation devices. For EMS to operate efficiently, itmust learn ahead about the available supply and demand so that it can work on supply–demand matching andminimizing the imports from the grid and running costs. This article presents a simple efficient day-ahead electricalload prediction approach for any EMS. In comparison to other approaches, the presented algorithm was designed tobe apart of any generic EMS and it does not require to be associated with a prepared statistical or historicaldatabases, or even to get connected to any kinds of sensors. The proposed algorithm was tested over the data of 25households in Austria and the results have shown an error range that goes down to 8.2% as an initial prediction.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesSingle layer deep blue polymer light emitting diodes withchlorinated Indium Tin Oxide after surface modification for highperformancePublicada en ScienceDirect_LED, 06/03/2015.

Chlorinated-Indium Tin Oxide (Cl-ITO) has been found to have higher workfunction than the pristine ITO. When used as anode for polymer light-emittingdiodes (PLEDs) with deep blue emitting -phase poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorene) (-PFO) as the emitting layer, it allows hole injection without barrier. However, thepresence of chlorine free radical on the surface of Cl-ITO leads to an excitonquenching effect. The surface modification on anode by dipping into 1%ammonium (NH4OH) aqueous solution to remove free chlorine radicals onsurface can enhance device performance significantly. The single layer deviceCl-ITO (treated)/-PFO/CsF/Al gives the maximum brightness 16773 cd/m2 andmaximum luminance efficiency 2.40 cd/A, which are higher than those withuntreated Cl-ITO, (2519; 0.27) and CFx treated ITO, (7800; 1.8) andPEDOT:PSS coated ITO, (12884; 1.43). The ease of the present anodetreatment allows the one-layer-only device to be a promising candidate forpractical application.

A room-temperature process for fabricating a nano-Pt counterelectrode on a plastic substrate for efficient dye-sensitized cellsPublicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 04/03/2015.

We present a method for depositing polyvinylpyrrolidone-capped platinum nanoparticles (PVP-nPt) on a plasticsubstrate as the counter electrode (CE) for dye-sensitized cells. This method was implemented using a modified two-step dip-coating process performed under ambient conditions. In particular, a short UV-ozone exposure period wasadopted to replace conventional annealing, rendering the whole process feasible for plastic substrates. Thesurfactant required for deposition was confirmed by analyzing a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum;however, we discovered that the surfactant jeopardized charge transfer between the PVP-nPt CE and the substrate.Furthermore, the UV-ozone treatment efficiently decomposed the surfactant, and the electrochemical-catalyticproperty improved considerably. When the CE was combined with a dye-sensitized photoanode fabricated on aplastic substrate, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) reached 6.24%. To further prove that the PCE is limited bythe plastic photoanode instead of the proposed plastic PVP-nPt CE, a photoanode fabricated on FTO glass and theproposed plastic PVP-nPt CE with a PCE of 8.80% was demonstrated. Finally, thermal aging (conducted at 60 °C,1000 h) test on this device indicated excellent durability, and the PCE was only 1% lower than its initial value.

Growth and characterization of phosphor-free white light-emittingdiodes based on InGaN blue quantum wells and green–yellowquantum dotsPublicada en ScienceDirect_LED, 03/03/2015.

Phosphor-free white light-emitting diodes consisting of 4 layers of InGaN/GaN quantum dots and 4 layers of quantumwells have been grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. A white emission was demonstrated underelectrical injection by mixing the green–yellow light from quantum dots and the blue light from quantum wells. At theinjection current of 5 mA, the electroluminescence peak wavelengths of quantum dots and quantum wells were 548nm and 450 nm, respectively, resulting in the color-rendering index Ra of 62. As the injection current increased, afaster emission enhancement of quantum well and an emission blue shift of the quantum dots were observed, whichled to the decrease of Ra.

Eficiencia Energética y Smart CitiesImproved light outcoupling of organic light-emitting diodes byrandomly embossed nanostructurePublicada en ScienceDirect_LED, 03/03/2015.

In this paper, we proposed a very economical and simple method to fabricate the randomly structured organic lightemitting diode (OLED) to enhance light outcoupling efficiency. The random pattern is obtained by directly spin-coatingthe mixture solution of polystyrene (PS) nanospheres and PEDOT:PSS on an ITO/glass substrate and then removingPS nanospheres. The results demonstrate that using such a randomly embossed PEDOT:PSS as the hole injectionlayer in Alq3-based OLED produces the maximum current efficiency of 3.34 cd/A with the enhancement factor of18.0% and the maximum power efficiency of 2.16 lm/W with the enhancement factor of 67.9% compared with thetypical planar Alq3-based OLED (with no PEDOT:PSS layer). On one hand, the enhanced efficiency is associatedwith the enhanced injection/transport of holes. On the other hand, the enhanced efficiency is also attributed to theextraction of some trapped optical modes over a broad range of wavelengths. This work offers a promising methodfor the fabrication of high performance, low-cost and large area OLEDs.

In this work we present an all solution processing scheme for the fabrication ofthe three primary colors, (R–G–B), emitting organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)via efficient color tuning of a blue organic semiconducting (OSC) thin film, inparticular the poly[9,9-di-(2-ethylhexyl)fluorenyl-2,7-diyl] (PF), in which differentcolor fluorescent emitters are dispersed to define the final emitting color and thusto simplify the different color device fabrication. The transmission speed of thefabricated OLEDs was also examined for possible application in interactivetelecommunications. To increase the response speed of the different colordevices we altered both the device geometry and the electron injection efficiency.To this end we increased the emissive layer thickness and decreased the deviceemissive area and we also performed engineering of the cathode interfacesthrough the incorporation of solution processed porphyrin interlayers in order tolower the electron injection barrier height. The final devices exhibited improvedoperational characteristics and, consequently, modulation speeds.

Publicada en ScienceDirect_LED, 02/03/2015.

NaLa(MoO4)2x(SO4)x:Eu3+ and NaLa(MoO4)2x(BO3)x:Eu3+ red phosphors, are prepared by a high temperaturesolid state reaction. These doubled molybdate phosphors have scheelite isostructure, which hardly be affected bySO42 and BO33 partial substitution for MoO42. Infrared spectra of obtained phosphors show strong absorption peaksbetween 1000 and 1300 cm1 which are assigned to the vibration of O–S in SO42 groups and O–B in BO33 groups.Due to the 5D0 7F1–3 transitions of Eu3+ ions, photoluminescence spectra show a strong red emission at 618 nmunder excitation of near UV light at 395 nm and blue light at 465 nm, respectively. The luminescent intensity ofNaLa(MoO4)2x(SO4)x:Eu3+ and NaLa(MoO4)2x(BO3)x:Eu3+ are obviously improved comparing with those ofNaLa(MoO4)2:Eu3+ and commercial red phosphor Y2O3:Eu3+ by several times. And the lifetime values ofNaLa(MoO4)2xAGx:Eu3+ with SO42 and BO33 substitution are extended to 0.461 ms and 0.468 ms from 0.459 msof NaLa(MoO4)2:Eu3+, respectively.
