太阳能作为维持地球生命的主要能源供应，也是到2030年实现清洁、公平能源转型和可持续发展目标的复杂战略中不可避免的组成部分。目前的工作研究安装光伏分布式发电在马德里理工大学- Ciudad Universitaria校园的潜力。为此，该研究的重点是发电，碳减排和经济可行性的太阳能光伏系统安装使用和比较两种不同的方法的基础上，不同的时间分辨率，模拟软件和详细程度的数据输入。结果表明，最佳的光伏发电，最大限度地减少排放量，也确保了最佳的经济回报，此外符合校园的最大太阳能潜力，这是约3.3兆瓦。在校园层面，约77%的光伏发电量将在当地消耗，这将假设覆盖约40%的总用电量。减排量可达30%，深入的经济分析表明，该项目利润丰厚。这些结果和方法可用于评估其他大学光伏系统的可行性，并帮助实体研究其建筑物的太阳能潜力。
Solar energy, as main energy supply that sustains life on Earth, is also an unavoidable component of the complex strategy in achieving a clean and fair energy transition and goals for sustainable development by 2030. The present work studies the potential of installing Photovoltaic Distributed Generation at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid – Ciudad Universitaria campus. To this end, the study focuses on the electricity generation, carbon reduction and economic feasibility of solar photovoltaic systems installation using and comparing two different approaches based on data input with different time resolution, simulation software and level of details. Results show that the optimal photovoltaic power that maximizes emissions savings also ensures the best economic return, and in addition coincides with the maximum solar potential of the Campus, which is about 3.3 MW. At campus level, approximately 77% of the photovoltaic electricity production would be consumed locally, which would suppose a coverage of about 40% of the total electricity consumption. Emissions savings could reach 30% and an in-depth economic analysis indicates that the project is highly profitable. These results and methodology could be used to assess the feasibility of photovoltaic systems at other universities and help entities study the solar potential of their buildings.
