3 In the case of Colombia, the expansion includes renewable energy generation capacity and transmission. 4 The FlexTool quantifies this by using dual variables, which express how the total system costs change by investing in an extra megawatt of wind power. Finally, additional flexibility indicators were estimated to measure the flexibility that
LHS exploits the latent heat of phase change whilst the storage medium (phase change material or PCM) undergoes a phase transition (solid-solid, solid-liquid, or liquid-gas). During this process, the PCM temperature remains nearly isothermal. The most common types of currently employed PCMs are those absorbing and releasing their melting/crystallization …

The first historical landmark in the establishment of electric supply dates back from 1928, when Law 113 declared the exploitation of hydroelectric power of public interest. The system worked in a centralized manner, in which vertically integrated state companies maintained a monopoly in their corresponding regions. A public company, ISA, exchanged electricity among the different regional systems.
Colombia''s energy transition also aims to further diversify the energy mix by incorporating wind, biomass, hydrogen, large-scale battery storage, and nuclear energy. Targets outlined in the National Energy Plan include achieving a 12% share of non-hydro renewables by 2050 and a …
Thermal energy storage (TES) using phase change materials (PCM) have become promising solutions in addressing the energy fluctuation problem specifically in solar energy. However, the thermal conductivity of PCM is too low, which hinders TES and heat transfer rate. In recent days thermally enhanced PCMs are a promising candidate for TES and heat …
