As fuel consumption in the transport sector has increased at a faster pace than in other sectors, the use of electromobility represents the main strategy adopted by the automotive industry. In this context, as the number of electrical vehicles (EVs) will increase, it will also be necessary to increase the number of charging stations. The present paper presents a complete solution for charging stations that can be located in the office or mall parking area. This solution includes a mode 3 AC charging stations of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61851-1 Standard, an EV simulator for testing the good functionality of the charging stations (i.e., communications, residual-current device (RCD) protection) and a software application used for controlling the charging process by the programmable logic controller (PLC).

Microgrids are emerging as feasible solutions to handle local energy systems. Several factors influence the development of such systems, such as technical, economic, social, legal, and regulatory issues. These important aspects need to be addressed to design appropriate microscale projects that take into consideration adequate technology without underestimating local characteristics. This article aims to propose a framework design for microgrid optimization using technical, social, and economic analysis. The framework is presented through a small island case study that shows each step of the method. As a contribution, this work provides a multi-objective optimization framework with different criteria consideration, such as the inhabitants’ cost of living and inter-cultural aspects, instead of traditional technical and economic analysis. The results show the applicability of the proposed framework showing better alternatives when compared with actual or future improvements in the study case scenario.

ResumenEl presente trabajo aborda el reto del envejecimiento activo desde la perspectiva del diseño urbano: ¿son los espacios públicos de las ciudades españolas “amigables” para las personas mayores? Se ha realizado una caracterización de las necesidades específicas del adulto mayor y los elementos de diseño del espacio público que deberían tenerse en cuenta en proyectos de renovación urbana. Esta caracterización, junto con una revisión de guías y documentos técnicos, ha dado como resultado la selección de 25 elementos para la evaluación de un caso de estudio en el casco urbano de la ciudad consolidada de las 3 ciudades españolas más pobladas. Los resultados muestran un mínimo de habitabilidad y accesibilidad de los espacios públicos, pero un déficit en los parámetros de calidad para favorecer entornos “amigables” con las personas mayores, como zonas estanciales con bancos ergonómicos, elementos de apoyo cada cierta distancia o señalética accesible para orientarse en las calles.AbstractThis study addresses active ageing from the urban perspective: are public spaces in Spanish cities age-friendly? A characterization of the older adult has been done identifying the elements of the public space that should be considered in projects of urban renovation. From this characterization, as well as a review of guides and technical documents, 25 elements have been proposed in order to evaluate one study case in the urban city centre of the 3 largest cities in Spain. Results show a minimum quality of habitability and accessibility in the built environment. However, there is a lack of quality parameters in order to promote healthy and age-friendly urban environments, such as ergonomic benches in places to stay, minimum distance between supports or signals to support way-finding in streets.

The incorporation of renewable energy and the transportation system can be significantly beneficial for the economy and environment of Bangladesh. The main energy source for vehicles in Bangladesh are the country’s natural gas and fuel. However, due to the rapid depletion of the gas reserve, soaring gas prices and global warming, alongside the environmental pollution caused by burning fuel, this raises concerns about these energy sources. Renewable energy offers a plausible solution to these problems. This paper’s objective is to focus on the maximum usages of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system in electrical vehicles and to minimize the environmental impact in terms of CO2 emission. This system may be partially used to power up the electric vehicle with a charging facility and contribute excess power to the national grid. The modeling, with its optimal analysis of the green transportation system, is simulated using the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Renewables (HOMER) software. The energy produced by the PV system can provide up to 13,792 kWh/year. Approximately 21% of the total production can be used in the charging station for charging the electrical vehicles and the rest of the energy can contribute to the national grid. Moreover, using the proposed concept of green transport will ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 52,944 kg/year.
