Cogeneration of electricity and freshwater by integrating photovoltaic/thermal collectors desalination systems is one the most promising methods to tackle challenges water energy shortages in remote areas. This study investigates a decentralized water/electricity cogeneration system combining concentrated vacuum multi-effect membrane distillation system. The merits such configuration include hi...

Although one of the most harmful factors to health is noise, it often ignored in life cycle assessment (LCA) studies. Most researches regarding noise inclusion LCA focus on problem transport and very few works consider impact emitted by other sources. This study addresses effects generated cogeneration plants. The main objective assess environmental performance reduction system considering due ...

In this article, the first and second law analysis of diesel engine based cogeneration system was performed. Fuel utilization efficiency, rate of power, and rate of process heat of the plant were determined and various efficiencies based on both energy and exergy methods and the performance assessment parameters are defined for both the system components and the entire cogeneration plant. The o...

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are seeing as a solution to overcome the fluctuation and randomness of certain sources, such solar wind power. Coupling fluctuating sources with controllable biomass-fueled micro-cogeneration, constitute an HRES that significantly reduces CO2 emissions primary consumption. The purpose this work is review research works on hybrid based micro-cogeneration pr...

This paper presents the design of adaptive load-shedding strategy by executing the artificial neural network (ANN) and transient stability analysis for an Industrial cogeneration facility. To prepare the training data set for ANN, the transient stability analysis has been p...

The supply of energy services plays a major role in human society but also induces major environmental problems. Common efforts have to be focus on the development of new power conversion systems with reduced environmental impact and higher efficiencies to preserve the resources. Distributed power generation and cogeneration represent an attractive way for a more advantageous and sustainable fo...

Quantitative indicators are essential tools in the sustainability assessment process of power generation from different fuel-based pathways. A comprehensive must combine all sensitive factors related to natural resource use, environmental impacts, and economic issues. This paper is intended establish measurable for gas-fired Thirty-nine pathways were structured based on full life cycle assessme...
