Impacts of Array Orientation and Tilt Angles for Photovoltaic Self-Sufficiency and Self-Consumption Indices in Olive Mills in Spain
摘要： Olive mills are extensive in the Mediterranean Basin, and Spain constitutes approximately 45% of global production. The industrial sector faces a new energetic paradigm where distributed generation provided by small renewable energy sources may reduce the dependence from fossil energy sources as well as avoid energy distribution losses. Photovoltaic self-consumption systems can play an important role in confronting this challenge due to their modularity and their decreasing cost. Most of self-sufficiency energy studies are focused on building sector and discussions about the idiosyncrasy of industrial load profiles, and their matching capability with photovoltaic generation profiles can be scarcely found. This work analyzes the potential of photovoltaic self-consumption systems as a function of the array power, array tilt, and orientation angles to face the electric consumption in olive mills. Different recording intervals and reporting periods are considered. Results show that a self-sufficiency index of 40% may be achieved on olive harvest basis. Moreover, due to the load profile particularities, percentage error lower than 1.6% has been found when considering a recording interval of 60 min when matching the olive load consumption and photovoltaic generation profiles. Chosen array tilt and orientation angles may be key parameters to maximize the self-sufficiency index.

Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectrometry as a Fast and Reliable Tool for Fat and Moisture Analyses in Olives
摘要： The evaluation of fat and moisture contents for olive fruits is crucial for both olive growers and olive oil processors. Reference methods, such as Soxhlet extraction, used for fat content determination in olive fruits are time- and solvent- consuming and labor intensive. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is proposed as a solution toward rapid and nondestructive analyses of olive fruit fat and moisture contents. In the present work, comparative studies of the fat and moisture quantification methods were performed on four cultivars (Arbosana, Arbequina, Chiquitita, and Koroneiki) during six different harvesting time points to determine the potential of NIR as an alternative methodology. The impact of olive paste crushing degree on NIR performance was also investigated using three different grid sizes (4, 6, and 8 mm) on a hammer mill, in addition to a blade crusher. Results indicate a satisfactory correlation between the reference Soxhlet and NIR methods with R2 = 0.995. A comparison study of moisture content was also done on NIR and the use of conventional oven with the R2 value of 0.995. The crushing blade produced higher values in both moisture and fat contents in comparison to the hammer mill. The evaluation indicates that when building a chemometric model, all crush sizes and blade sizes should be represented in the model for highest accuracy.
