Coastal Stratocumulus clouds have a diurnal cycle influenced by solar heating and sea-breeze dynamics. These clouds typically thin after sunrise, and some of them fragment and then dissipate, a transition that has proven difficult to predict. In this work, we study the role of sea breeze in the dissipation transition by analyzing observations at tw...

Modeling a commercial absorption chiller accurately is essential for better integrating and optimizing their operation, especially in off-design conditions. Hence, in this work, a novel model based on the principles of mass and energy conservation was developed, incorporating three improvements for a single-effect LiBr–H2O absorption chiller, corre...
The input of a solar inverter depends on multiple factors: the solar resource, weather conditions, and control strategies. Traditional design calculations specify the maximum current either as 125% of the rated module current or as the maximum 3 h average current from hourly simulations over a typical year, neglecting extreme irradiance conditions:...
Solar variability corresponds to strong variations of the solar irradiance, caused mainly by the presence of clouds. Practical uses of solar resource data, such as the design of photovoltaic solar plants, usually employs several years of hourly data, neglecting subhourly features. The effect of clouds on short-time variability can differ by cloud t...
Electric vehicle (EV) penetration has been increasing in the modern electricity grid and has been complemented by the growth of EV charging infrastructure. This paper addresses the gap in the literature on the EV effects of total electricity costs in commercial buildings by incorporating V0G, V1G, and V2B charging. The electricity costs are minimiz...
The convective nature of Stratocumulus topped boundary layers (STBL) involves the motion of updrafts and downdrafts, driven by surface fluxes and radiative cooling, respectively. The balance between shear and buoyant forcings at the surface can determine the organization of updrafts between cellular and roll structures. We investigate the effect of...
The impact of initial states and meteorological variables on stratocumulus cloud dissipation time over coastal land is investigated using a mixed-layer model. A large set of realistic initial conditions and forcing parameters are derived from radiosonde observations and numerical weather prediction model outputs, including total water mixing ratio...
En este trabajo se estudió la fluidodinámica de una turbina helicoidal GHT para generación de energía mareo-motriz con datos obtenidos para el Canal de Chacao, X Región de Los Lagos. Análisis fluidodinámico en una turbina helicoidal GHT para generación de energía mareo-motriz
La diversificación de la matriz energética en el plano nacional es un tema actual de discusión. Lo anterior se debe al escenario de crisis que ha provocado el incremento sostenido de la demanda energética durante los últimos 50 años, la contaminación ligada al consumo de energía producida con combustibles fósiles y el aumento de los costos de vida...
