    Renewable Electric Energy Generation in Argentina: Solar Thermal Pavement as a Clean and Affordable Alternative
    (2024-10) Cafaro, Alejandro; Penchansky, Alejo
    Argentina has an area of 2.8 million square kilometers and an extensive network of paved roads and streets, with 640,000 kilometers in total. With this vast infrastructure, the country has the potential to advance technologies that take advantage of its available space, particularly in renewable energy sources such as solar thermal power. This project aims to explore a method of capturing solar thermal radiation through smart pavements, which accumulate heat in the asphalt and convert it into electrical energy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze a system that could position Argentina as a leader in clean and affordable energy, contributing to reducing dependence on non-renewable sources and promoting environmental sustainability. The study addresses the current energy problem in Argentina, compares it with other countries and presents the methodology of solar thermal pavement, evaluating the benefits and challenges of its application on national routes. This paper is expected to contribute to the analysis of alternatives to implement renewable energy generation strategies in Argentina.

    Floating Photovoltaics: A New Way to Attenuate Climate Change Effects on Lakes and Reservoirs
    (2021-11-25) Dolaz, Leandro Agustín; Topich Rougier, José Gabriel
    Abstract A big problem to be addressed is the effects that climate change produces, specifically on lakes and water reservoirs. A possible solution to this is using a relatively new technology called Floating Photovoltaics Systems. These systems have the capability to generate electricity from solar energy while sheltering the water they float on from the solar rays. This reduces water evaporation and algae growth, improves the water quality, and keeps the system passively cooled. This paper focuses on showing that technologies such as these are the future to take action against climate change effects on lakes and water reservoirs, and FPV is the main one to focus on at the moment, as it is the most effective one
