Renewable Energies
Renewable energies are clean, unlimited and increasingly competitive sources of energy. They are energy sources based on the use of natural resources: sun, wind, water or plant or animal biomass. They differ from fossil fuels mainly in their diversity, abundance and potential for use in any part of the planet, but especially in the fact that they do not produce greenhouse gases.
There are various types of renewable energy such as wind energy, photovoltaic energy, hydropower, biomass and biogas, geothermal energy, tidal energy, wave power, bioethanol and biodiesel.
Given the importance of renewable energies, their main advantages should be emphasized: they do not emit greenhouse gases, are inexhaustible and less and less expensive, reduce energy dependence, and have a favorable political horizon.
Due to the proliferation of renewable energies and the need to create more efficient and flexible power systems, decentralized generation is becoming more and more popular. This is the origin of the Micro-Grids concept. They are bidirectional power generation systems, based mostly on renewable energies, which distribute electricity from various points of energy generation to consumers through digital technology and favoring the integration of renewable energies.
Thanks to this technological evolution that has given rise to renewable energies and to their decentralization, it has been possible to integrate the electric vehicle in today's society. In turn, this has significantly reduced greenhouse gases (CO2) and costs and increased the reliability of the electrical system.

The Computer Controlled Geothermal (low enthalpy) Energy Unit, "EG5C", designed by EDIBON, consists of a cooling circuit, a small tank with pipes covered with water (bath) and a chilling unit (heat pump). The inside of the earth is simulated with them. There is another tank where the sanitary hot water heated bythe unit is stored.
The cooling circuit consists of a compressor, an air condenser/evaporator, and two water condensers/evaporators. The reason is that the unit has a 4 ways valve that can detect if it is summer or winter by the environmental conditions. According to this, it sends the refrigerant gas to one or another exchanger. So they are able to work as evaporators or condensers of the refrigerant liquid.
The ground is simulated by means of a small tank that covers some pipes and a heat pump.
The water of the tank is at a constant temperature, the same temperature that the earth has at 20 m of depth (15ºC [59ºF] approximately). This water goes to a bath, heating or cooling the water that flows through the pipes immersed in the bath.
Finally, there is a tank to store the water heated by the unit. It simulates the sanitary hot water of a house.
The unit has a cycle inversion valve, which is able to simulate winter and summer conditions, as it was mentioned before. Since the temperature of the earth at 20 m of depth is always 15ºC, this temperature will be higher than the environmental temperature in winter, therefore, the ground is used to heat (heating mode use). However, the environmental temperature in summer will be higher than 15ºC,so the ground’s water will be used to cool (refrigerating mode).
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, forcontrolling the process and all parameters involved in the process.

The Wind Energy Basic Unit, "MINI-EEE", is a small-scale unit designed to study wind energy and the influence of some factors on its generation.
This unit consists of a transparent tunnel, a wind turbine with rotor to place up to six blades and a variable speed axial fan.
The air speed is varied by changing the rotational speed of the axial fan and a sensor allows for measuring that air velocity.
This fan generates the required air flow to make the rotor of the wind energy unit work. The generator converts the kinetic energy of the rotor into electric energy. The rotational speed of the wind turbine can be measured with a sensor.
The unit includes a DC load module with LEDs, a rheostat, a DC motor, a load selector and switches to select the type of load. Thus, the wind turbine may work in open circuit or connected to LEDS, to a rheostat or to a DC motor.
A voltage and current sensor measures the voltage and current provided by the wind turbine in order to determine the power.
