Abstract
- [EN] Cities are expected to be protagonists of the energy transition and, among other challenges, the decarbonation of the residential consumption could greatly benefit from photovoltaic generation in the built environment. To assess its potential, the present study analyses the possibility to cover the electric demand of the city of Valencia with rooftop-installed PV panels. Specific types of buildings has been selected to study the potential of each one of them with respect to their demand and with a specific production/consumption model. The total potential energy production for the city of Valencia is estimated to be enough to satisfy the demand of domestic electricity. The economic investment scenario has been analysed (best- and worst-case scenarios), and the corresponding environmental benefits have been studied. The results of the present article are encouraging in the context of a global energy transition, necessary in the present times to keep human consumption within the planetary limits.<br />This study has been supported by Climate-KIC¿s Pathfinder Programme (Task ID TC2018A_2.1.5-PRO_P066¿1B) and by the Cátedra de Transición Energética Urbana (Las Naves-UPV)
