España se convierte en el primer productor eólico de Europa


España se convierte en el primer productor eólico de Europa
La generación de electricidad con energía eólica en 2010 alcanzó en España los 42.976 GWh, lo que supone que, por primera vez en su historia, superó a Alemania -36.500 GWh- como el primer productor europeo de energía eólica, según los datos del Barómetro Eurobserv'ER, el observatorio de energías renovables de la Comisión Europea.
FUENTE | La Vanguardia Digital08/04/2011
La cobertura de la demanda con eólica en España fue del 16,4% el pasado año, frente al 6,2% de Alemania. No obstante, Alemania mantiene el primer puesto de Europa en potencia instalada, con un total de 27.214,7 MW eólicos a 31 de diciembre de 2010. España ocupa el segundo lugar, con 20.676 MW.

"Esto demuestra el buen funcionamiento del sistema español, al haber logrado producir más electricidad procedente de la eólica con menos aerogeneradores", señala la Asociación Empresarial Eólica

En ambos países, el ritmo de crecimiento del sector eólico se ralentizó el pasado año: Alemania instaló 1.551 MW y España, 1.516 MW. España vivió en 2010 un año con elevados niveles de viento, al contrario que Alemania. Incluso en el mes de marzo pasado, la energía eólica se convirtió en la primera fuente de electricidad en España.

España tiene unos costes de generación eólica menores porque sus parques funcionan más horas", dice la Asociación. Además, cuenta con aerogeneradores más modernos que Alemania, pues el mercado eólico español comenzó a desarrollarse más tarde) y "tiene un mejor sistema de integración en red gracias al trabajo conjunto llevado a cabo entre Red Eléctrica de España (REE) y el sector eólico".

Al igual que España, Alemania cuenta con un sistema de incentivos a la energía eólica basado en primas medioambientales, considerado por la Comisión Europea como el más eficiente de Europa en términos económicos.

Los nuevos parques alemanes percibieron el año pasado 92 euros por MWh, frente a los 77 euros de media que recibieron los españoles. España es, junto con Portugal, el país de la Unión Europea con unas primas eólicas más bajas, destaca la Asociación Empresarial.

Dada la probada eficacia del sistema, el sector eólico español considera que la nueva regulación que dicte el Gobierno debe basarse o respetar los logros alcanzados con el sistema actual.

Para que la energía eólica continúe su desarrollo y España pueda cumplir los objetivos europeos de cara a 2020, es necesario que el Gobierno establezca ya el nuevo marco regulatorio que sustituya al Real Decreto 661/2007, que vence a finales de 2012.

La instalación de parques eólicos exige largos periodos de maduración (de seis a ocho años), por lo que las empresas necesitan conocer ya las condiciones en que se podrá desarrollar el sector a partir de 2013.

Magnesio, el ion olvidado

Magnesium plays a fundamental role in many cellular functions, and thus there is increasing interest in its role in clinical medicine. Although numerous experimental studies indicate positive effects of magnesium in a variety of disease states, large clinical trials often give conflicting results. However, there is clear evidence for magnesium to benefit patients with eclampsia or torsades de pointes arrhythmias. In addition, magnesium seems to have antinociceptive and anesthetic as well as neuroprotective effects, yet well-designed large clinical trials are required to determine its actual efficacy in pain management or in the state of stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage. The current review aims to provide an overview of current knowledge and available evidence with respect to physiologic aspects of magnesium and proposed indications and recommendations for its use in the clinical setting.

Resumen
El magnesio es un ión implicado en numerosas funciones fisiológicas y en la fisiopatología de muchas enfermedades que afectan al paciente quirúrgico. La incidencia de hipomagnesemia en el ambiente perioperatorio es alta y en ocasiones menospreciada con importantes implicaciones pronósticas. El magnesio es además empleado como fármaco con distintas indicaciones: en reanimación, obstetricia, cardiología, cirugía cardíaca, tratamiento del dolor, anestesia, neumología, etc. El papel del magnesio en el organismo y sus propiedades farmacológicas siguen siendo objeto de estudio y cada vez aparecen nuevas situaciones en las que este ión adquiere un papel relevante. El conocimiento de sus características farmacológicas, clínicas y fisiológicas se
ha vuelto imprescindible para el médico anestesiólogo. El objetivo de esta revisión es dar una visión sencilla y completa del papel del magnesio en el organismo, sus alteraciones en el medio perioperatorio y su relevancia como fármaco eficaz en numerosas situaciones clínicas.

Abstract
This randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was designed to assess the effect of intravenous clonidine and magnesium sulphate on intraoperative haemodynamics, anaesthetic consumption and postoperative recovery. Seventy five patients undergoing elective upper limb orthopaedic surgery were randomised into three groups. Group C received clonidine 3 mug/kg as a bolus before induction and 1mug/kg/hour by infusion intraopertively. Group M received magnesium sulphate 30 mg/kg as a bolus before induction and 10 mg/kg/hour by infusion. Group P received same volume of isotonic saline. Anaesthesia was induced and maintained with fentanyl citrate and propofol. Muscular relaxation was achieved by vecuronium bromide. Induction time, recovery time and consumption of propofol as well as fentanyl citrate were recorded. Induction of anaesthesia was rapid with both clonidine and magnesium sulphate. Time of bispectral index (BIS) to reach 60 was significantly lower in Group C and Group M (P < 0.0001). Requirements of propofol and fentanyl were significantly less in Group C and Group M (P < 0.001). Postoperative recovery was slower in Group M compared with other two groups (P < 0.001). Perioperative use of both clonidine and magnesium sulphate significantly reduced the consumption of propofol and fentanyl citrate. Magnesium sulphate caused a delayed recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: In a randomized, double-blind, prospective study, we have evaluated the effect of i.v. infusion of magnesium sulphate during spinal anaesthesia on postoperative analgesia and postoperative analgesic requirements.METHODS: Forty patients undergoing total hip replacement arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia were included. After the induction of spinal anaesthesia, the magnesium group (Group M) received magnesium sulphate 50 mg kg(-1) for 15 min and then 15 mg kg(-1) h(-1) by continuous i.v. infusion until the end of surgery. The saline group (Group S) received the same volume of isotonic saline over the same period. After surgery, a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device containing morphine and ketorolac was provided for the patients. Postoperative pain scores, PCA consumption, and the incidences of shivering, postoperative nausea, and vomiting were evaluated immediately after surgery, and at 30 min, 4, 24, and 48 h after surgery. Serum magnesium concentrations were checked before the induction of anaesthesia, immediately after surgery, and at 1 and 24 h after surgery.
RESULTS: Postoperative pain scores were significantly lower in Group M at 4, 24, and 48 h after surgery (P<0.05). Cumulative postoperative PCA consumptions were also significantly lower in Group M at 4, 24, and 48 h after surgery (P<0.05). Postoperative magnesium concentrations were higher in Group M (P<0.05 at 4, 24, and 48 h after surgery), but no side-effects associated with hypermagnesemia were observed. Haemodynamic variables and the incidences of shivering, nausea, and vomiting were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: I.V. magnesium sulphate administration during spinal anaesthesia improves postoperative analgesia.
