Non-abatable emissions are one of the decarbonization challenges that could be addressed with carbon-neutral fuels. One promising production pathway is direct air capture (DAC) carbon dioxide, followed by a solar thermochemical cycle and liquid fuel synthesis. In this study, we explore different combinations these technologies to produce methanol from an economic perspective in order determine ...

Fast-growing energy demand of the world makes researchers focus on finding new sources or optimizing already-developed approaches. For an efficient use solar and wind in system, correct design sizing a power system is high importance improving process data obtaining for this purpose leads to higher performance lower cost per unit energy. It essential have most precise possible estimation potent...

Solar parabolic concentrating collectors are widely and efficiently used in electrical generation. They were experimentally validated in worldwide pioneer plants. SEGS-VI 30 MW solar power plant built in southern California is one of these plants that was commissioned many years ago. In this work a possibility of installing such plant in Makkah, 21.4 °N located in moderate latitudes is studied....

The photovoltaic energy generation system is one of the most promising technology to meet our future electricity demand as well mitigate climate change. This study aims design, simulate and evaluate performance hybrid (PV) using PVsyst software supply for efficient streetlights in educational institute. Meteonorm database daily monthly irradiation, temperatures, precipitation sunlight hours are...

In geographical areas where direct solar irradiation levels are relatively high, concentrated energy systems one of the most promising green technologies. Dish-Stirling those that achieve highest solar-to-electric conversion efficiency, and yet they still among least common commercially available This paper focuses on a strategy aimed at promoting greater diffusion dish-Stirling systems, which ...

This paper presents a techno-economic assessment of 100 kWp solar rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system at five hospitals in central southern Thailand. The encompasses PV panels, kW grid-tied inverters and balance (BOS) under the grid code Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA). latest technology bifacial mono-crystalline BOS were simulated along with Meteonorm 7.3 database using PVsyst simulation t...

As energy yields of photovoltaic modules are highly related to local climate and ambient conditions, it is necessary assess the energy-yield performance PV under various operating conditions. This work compares commercial crystalline silicon (c-Si) based (including mono c-Si Al BSF, PERC, multi-crystalline (mc-Si) n-type solar cells) sampled from 27 module manufacturers located in Asia-Pacific ...

The prediction of global solar radiation in a region is great importance as it provides investors and politicians with more detailed knowledge about the resource that region, which can be very beneficial for large-scale energy development. In this sense, main objective study to predict daily data 27 cities (Brussels, Paris, Lisbon, Madrid…), located countries, have mostly different distribution...

the process of constructing buildings is a complex activity, which has a variety of impacts on our environment, society and economy. buildings provide shelter, encourage productivity, embody our culture and can create a great legacy for the future while at the same time establishing links with the past. but they also consume a huge share of our land, energy, water and material resources. regard...

Performances of building energy innovations are most of the time dependent on the external climate conditions. This means a high performance of a specific innovation in a certain part of Europe, does not imply the same performances in other regions. The mapping of simulated building performances at the EU scale could prevent the waste of potential good ideas by identifying the best region for a...
