Prospects for conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels: the concept of a solar fuels industry.
There is, at present, no solar fuels industry anywhere in the world despite the well-publicized needs to replace our depleting stock of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Many obstacles have to be overcome in order to store sunlight in the form of chemical potential, and there are severe barriers to surmount in order to produce energy on a massive scale, at a modest price and in a conv...
متن کاملSolar to fuels conversion technologies: a perspective
To meet increasing energy needs, while limiting greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades, power capacity on a large scale will need to be provided from renewable sources, with solar expected to play a central role. While the focus to date has been on electricity generation via photovoltaic (PV) cells, electricity production currently accounts for only about one-third of total primary en...
متن کاملThermal to Electric Energy Conversion
As research in the area of excess power production moves forward, issues associated with thermal to electric conversionbecome increasingly important. This paper provides a brief tutorial on basic issues, including the Carnot limit, entropy, and thermoelectric conversion. Practical thermal to electric conversion is possible well below the Carnot limit, and this leads to a high threshold for self...

متن کاملModeling, Optimization and exergoeconomic analysis a multiple energy production system based on solar Energy, Wind Energy and Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) in the onshore region
In the present study, investigated an energy production system using three types of renewable energy: solar, wind and ocean thermal energy with climatic conditions and close to areas with high potential for the OTEC system, Has a good position in terms of wind speed and solar radiation, used them as energy sources. The proposed system is designed and evaluated based on the total daily electrici...
