University of Nevada, Las Vegas Renewable Energy Center (UNLV-REC) currently monitors three meteorological stations in southern Nevada under the direction of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and is funded by the Nevada Southwest Energy Partnership (NSWEP). The three station locations are Eldorado Valley, UNLV-REC Solar Site, and Nevada Power Company Clark Station. The installation dates for each of the locations were October of 2004 for Eldorado Valley station, August of 2003 for the UNLV-REC Solar Site, and March of 2006 for the Nevada Power Clark Station. Publicly available data from each site have been archived since installation completion. This paper discusses the installation of the equipment for each site and images of the setup. The data that is being collected between the sites is also compared. Data comparisons between the sites include net monthly solar energy; monthly peak direct normal irradiance (DNI), average daily wind speed, monthly wind roses, and average monthly dry bulb temperatures. The recently measured data is also compared to resource maps developed by NREL and to TMY data. With these meteorological resources, microclimatic variations can be studied for the area and used as a renewable energy resource for renewable installations in southern Nevada.

Renewable energy sources should play an important role in the promotion of numerous Croatian energy goals. The development of a successful sector of renewable could in the long run contribute to energy efficiency improvement, diversification of production and supply safety, domestic production and lesser imports of energy sources and significant reduction of the environmental influences. Targets and strategy of the implementation for every renewable energy resource depends on the specifics of the particular one, with general trends in the European Union of renewable resource ratio increase in the energy balance.

Se propone la realización de un análisis de composición socio-económica y energética de los hogares argentinos, con el objetivo de generar información que sirva para la definición de políticas de desarrollo en energía solar con una óptica de inclusión y desarrollo social. Para ello, se aplicaron métodos de clustering y análisis de grandes datos, en particular k-means, two step cluster, y análisis de factores principales, a una base de datos construida a partir de datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos, Secretaría de Energía de la Nación, Ente Regulador Nacional del Gas, Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment y National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Como resultado, se evidencian hogares con problemáticas similares con respecto al acceso a los energéticos y otros derechos básicos, el impacto del costo de la energía y el recurso solar disponible. Estas agrupaciones han sido mapeadas al nivel de radio censal, la unidad geográfica y de análisis más pequeña del censo argentino. Así, se concluye con la definición de perspectivas de acción para el desarrollo energético y socialmente inclusivo de cada una de las agrupaciones de hogares, tanto rurales como urbanos.
