Environmental Assessment of Photovoltaic Technologies

Economic, Social and Environmental Assessment of Electricity Generation from Renewable and Gas Technologies

Growing demand for electricity and the reduction of fossil fuels have made it essential to consider alternative and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, to generate electricity. In this paper, by computing levelized output energy cost and levelized cost of electricity, the prices of electricity generated from the different combined cycle, wind, and photovoltaic power plants are com...

Environmental assessment of solid waste systems and technologies: EASEWASTE.

A new model has been developed for evaluating the overall resource consumption and environmental impacts of municipal solid waste management systems by the use of life cycle assessment. The model is named EASEWASTE (Environmental Assessment of Solid Waste Systems and Technologies) and is able to compare different waste management strategies, waste treatment methods and waste process technologie...

Environmental assessment for management of waste through energy conversion technologies

Increasing population and changing life style has led to the dramatic increase in waste generation. It has been estimated that global generation of post recycling MSW in populated centers amounts about 1.2 billion ton per year. India alone produces about 90 million tons of MSW per year. If this large amount of waste can be converted into energy then the problem of its management and energy cris...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
