Many countries are betting for renewable sources of energy. This situation is due to three main reasons; the increase of energy consumption, the knowledge about fossil sources limitation, and the effect of pollution on climatic change. At the present, one of the renewable alternatives is the photovoltaic solar energy, where the solar radiation is captured in the PV cells to generate electricity. The electricity production through the use of photovoltaic panels has increased strongly during the last years in some of the relatively sunny and developed countries. Spain is one of the countries with most power capacity installed but photovoltaic development has been linked to subsidies and after the spectacular growth during the end of the last decade the sector is now stalled. In order to understand the situation of the photovoltaic sector in Spain and the expectations under the current scenarios, this paper provides a profound analysis using the System Dynamics methodology as the main tool.

The Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROI or EROEI) is the amount of energy acquired from a particular energy source divided by the energy expended, or invested, in obtaining that energy. EROI is an essential and seemingly simple measure of the usable energy or “energy profit” from the exploitation of an energy source, but it is not so easy to determine all of the energy expenditures that should be included in the calculation. Because EROI values are generally low for renewable energy sources, differences in these estimates can lead to sharply divergent conclusions about the viability of these energy technologies. This book presents the first complete energy analysis of a large-scale, real-world deployment of photovoltaic (PV) collection systems representing 3.5 GW of installed, grid-connected solar plants in Spain. The analysis includes all of the factors that limit and adjust the real electricity output through one full-year cycle, and all of the fossil fuel inputs required to achieve these results. The authors’ comprehensive analysis of energy inputs, which assigns energy cost estimates to all financial expenditures, yields EROI values that are less than half of those claimed by other investigators and by the solar industry. Sensitivity analysis is used to test various assumptions in deriving these EROI estimates. The results imply that the EROI of current, large-scale PV systems may be too low to seamlessly support an energy and economic transition away from fossil fuels. Given the pervasiveness of fossil fuel subsidies in the modern economy, a key conclusion is that all components of the system that brings solar power to the consumer, from manufacturing to product maintenance and life cycle, must be improved in terms of energy efficiency. The materials science of solar conversion efficiency is only one such component. Sunny Spain represented an ideal case study as the country had the highest penetration of solar PV energy at 2.3 percent of total national demand as well as state-of-the-art expertise in solar power including grid management of intermittent, modern renewable systems. This book, written by a uniquely qualified author team consisting of the chief engineer for several major photovoltaic projects in Spain and the world’s leading expert on the concept and application of EROI, provides a comprehensive understanding of the net energy available to society from energy sources in general and from functioning PV installations under real-world conditions in particular. The authors provide critical insight into the capacity of renewable energy sources to fill the foreseeable gap between world energy demand and depletion rates for fossil fuels. · Presents the first comprehensive study of the EROI of large-scale solar PV systems in a developed country · Uses real-world operational data rather than laboratory approximations and extrapolations · Describes the dependence of one alternative energy source on the goods and services of a fossil-fueled economy · Has global implications for the potential of renewable energy sources to replace dwindling reserves of fossil fuels · Written with the first-hand knowledge of the chief, on-site engineer for many solar installations in Spain together with the leader in the development and application of the concept of EROI

It is 10:00 p.m. on 28 February 2021 and, at the ESIC incubator, the Lumio team is holding a crucial meeting with the aim of making decisions and adapting its business model to better fit its market. The meeting is generating some controversy, as a tipping point has been reached on how to include the company’s new in-house battery, ManBatt, within the company’s service offering, as, until now, it has only used batteries manufactured by third parties for its solar PV installations. Alexis and his team have to define the new business model. The high price of energy and electricity in Spain, together with the great concern in society about climate change, makes renewable energies a key factor with potential growth in the very near future. In addition, the difficulty and slowness in finding qualified suppliers or installers, together with the difficulties in obtaining beneficial payment conditions for the consumer, make it difficult for both households and companies to switch to cleaner and cheaper energy such as solar energy. Lumio was created to solve this problem efficiently.

The aim of this project is to describe the expected evolution of the Spanish electricity sector in the coming decades, as well as to study the economic feasibility of solar PV and CCGT power generation plants in this context. First of all, an analysis of the Spanish electricity market has been carried out. The current energy situation has been also studied, both globally and nationally. Given the growing importance of renewable energies in the sector, the legislative development on renewables has been studied, as well as the impact they have generated in the sector and their different financing mechanisms. Based on the environmental objectives established by the European Union, the general lines of the expected energy transition in the Spanish electricity sector have been defined, estimating the installed capacity of the main generation technologies for the period 2020-2050, as well as their contribution in the generation mix. Likewise, an analysis of the price of electricity in the daily market has been carried out, from which a price prediction model has been developed. According to the results, the weight of renewables will increase progressively during the next decades, reaching in 2050 an approximate share of 90% in the generation mix. The expected load factor for CCGTs, on the other hand, will increase in the mid-term, whereas in the long-term will be reduced below the current values. The price of electricity, on the other hand, will increase significantly between 2020 and 2030, whereas as of this year will undergo a gradual but steady reduction. Given the expected relevance of solar PV and CCGT technologies in the future Spanish generation park, the economic feasibility of both technologies has been studied. In the case of the solar PV plant, an analytical model has been developed in MATLAB by which forecasts of the generation of the plant have been made. These results have been validated by the software SOLAR PV, making a comparison between both results. For the analysis of CCGT plant, the price in the adjustment markets has been studied, analysing its relationship with the price in the daily market. According to the results, both projects would be profitable. However, given the uncertainty inherent to forecasts of the price, alternative forecasts have been considered. Due to substantial differences in the mid-term, the main financial parameters of solar PV and CCGT power generation plants have been calculated again, considering in this case the alternative forecasts of the price. From this second analysis it has been concluded that, whereas the solar PV would not require any additional financing mechanism in order to be profitable, capacity payments would be indispensable in the case of the CCGT plant. It has been also concluded that, in the analysis of the economic feasibility of marginal technologies, such as CCGTs, the average price of the electricity in the markets is not a representative parameter.

The goal of this thesis is the development of a model of the Spanish energy mix in order to be able to forecast its evolution in function of exogenous variables such as the public opinion about specific technologies, the price of oil, the price of natural gas, the interest rate, etc. at a given moment in time. The development of such a model is interesting in order to set the right pOlicies and incentives for achieving a required energy mix as well as to calculate the system costs at a specific moment in time. This way, under or overinvestment in specific technologies can be avoided. This issue has been a cause of concern in Spain, where for example, because of erratic incentive policies a huge overinvestment in solar PV power happened between 2008 and 2009, which entailed higher than expected energy costs that will have to be paid by the final consumers for many years. So, a model of the power system has been developed using the System Dynamics methodology. The model has been subsequently validated using historical data in order to check that the results obtained by the model reflect the reality. Once validated, different future scenarios have been considered and the model has been used in order to define the energy policies that entail the optimum results in terms of the resulting energy mix and wholesale power price. Learnings and conclusions about the Spanish power market have been summarized.

This thesis conducts a profitability analysis of investments in Photovoltaic (PV) installations connected to the Spanish electrical grid system, focusing on the regulatory framework and investment returns. The thesis takes the investor's perspective on the analysis of policy support systems and contributes by bringing closer policy design and policy results. Key aspects of PV investments are studied including the influence of the parameters involved in the economical evaluation of PV plants and the investment costs that will make no longer necessary to have a support scheme for these investments. In addition, the returns required by investors are studied and, with assumed investment costs reductions, a de-escalating feed-intariff (FIT) for PV investments during 2011-2015 is proposed. The results obtained indicate that grid-parity will be reached at a turnkey (all-included) cost of about 2676 €/kWp, which requires a cost reduction of 40% from current costs and it will not happen earlier than 2016. In addition, during the next few years, to maintain a sustainable amount of investments, the FIT should be reduced at a rate very close to the forecasted costs reductions and the regulatory framework should be updated to eliminate the administrative costs incurred due to the capacity limits, adopting a more dynamic and market-based support scheme.

This book analyses the economic and environmental aspects of installing photovoltaic facilities for residential electricity users and determines whether the installation of photovoltaic units “behind the meter” makes sense, and if so, the best economic size to install. It explores the use of photovoltaic capacity to meet electricity requirements by generating enough for immediate use without feeding surplus electricity into the grid and without using storage. The authors illustrate this approach by examining various power photovoltaic capacities in locations such as Marseille, Madrid and Seville, which use hourly demand data provided by smart meters. They also show the possibility of developing energy self-consumption compatible with the operation of the network, making use of information from smart meters. Discussing how photovoltaic facilities are profitable from both an economic and an environmental point of view, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and private investors. It is also of interest to practitioners and academics, as the results presented are of importance for the near future.

The goal of this thesis is to investigate the impact of non-programmable renewable energy generation mix on Italian and Spanish electricity markets by studying electricity price in the spot electricity market. Specifically, to investigate whether different energy sources have a different impact on the price, whether and or how much this is varying from different market zones and whether the impact is on general, daily-basis or maybe rather on an hourly basis. To detect the impact on electricity prices, it is followed a consolidated methodology adopted by Clò et al. [1] and developed an empirical analysis for Italy's commercial markets and for the whole Spanish market by using a multivariate regression. It is considered daily averaged data for the renewable generation mix (specifically solar and wind) and spot electricity price from the respective day-ahead markets for the whole year 2018. As a secondary studio the impact on electricity prices in Italy is analysed by using hourly data. The results obtained support the hypothesis that rising zonal loads tend in general to raise zonal market prices based on the data from 2018. The intensity of this effect is pronounced with varying intensity. In Italy the lowest effect is in the North, with an impact of 1.19 €/MWh increase for each 1000 MWh of demand. The highest effect is found in the islands, reaching a value of 25.11 €/MWh in Sicily. In Spain, there is a low impact of load, with a value of only 0.045 €/MWh. It is interesting to stress how the impacts of photovoltaics and wind vary across Italian zone. While both prove to have in general a decreasing impact, on the electricity spot price, wind is the main driver of the electricity price reduction in the southern zonal areas whereas solar has a more significant decreasing impact on the northern zone prices. Eventually, Central North is the zone with the highest impact of both renewable sources. In Spain, no evidence is found for photovoltaics for electricity price reduction. But, on the other hand, an increase of 1 GWh of wind decreases the Spanish electricity price by 1.42 €/MWh. The results obtained also show for both Italy and Spain the assumption of high correlation between the price of gas and electricity: an increase of 1 €/MWh of gas price causes statistically an electricity price increase between 0.90 €/MWh and 1.73 €/MWh in Italy (depending on the zone) as well as an increase of 1.76 €/MWh in Spain. Compared to the daily data case, results of the secondary analysis show that solar comes out significant in all zones of Italy. Energy from solar panels is obtained only a few hours a day, therefore it turns out that the impact seems to be stronger on an hourly basis. However, wind has rather a daily impact, being wind generation more constant from day to day also not having such a plausible difference between hours as solar.
