BACKGROUND Microalgal triglycerides (TAGs) hold great promise as sustainable feedstock for commodity industries. However, to determine research priorities and support business decisions, solid techno-economic studies are essential. Here, we present a techno-economic analysis of two-step TAG production (growth reactors are operated in continuous mode such that multiple batch-operated stress reac...

Small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) represent a robust opportunity to develop low-carbon and reliable power with the potential meet cost parity conventional systems. This study presents detailed, bottom-up economic evaluation of 12 × 77 MWe (924 total) light-water SMR (LW-SMR) plant, 4 262 (1,048 MWe) gas-cooled (GC-SMR) 5 200 (1,000 molten salt (MS-SMR) plant. Cost estimates are derived from...

This paper presents a techno-economic optimization model to analyze the economic viability of photovoltaic battery (PVB) system for different residential customer groups in Switzerland clustered based on their annual electricity consumption, rooftop size, irradiation and location. The simulations static investment are carried out years 2020–2050 comprehensive sensitivity analysis is conducted i...

Hydrogen production through electrolysis from renewable sources is expected to play an important role achieve the reduction targets of carbon dioxide emissions set for next decades. Electrolysers can use energy surplus produce green hydrogen and contribute making electrical grid more stable. be used as medium-long term storage, converted into other fuels, or feedstock in industry thus contribut...

Techno-economics involves the systematic evaluation of economic aspects to provide solutions technical problems encountered. The study techno-economic analysis can a basis for decision-making related factors. This was analyze scope research on education using bibliometric and data mapping approach (i.e., VOSviewer software). Material gathered from application reference manager databases. materi...

Techno-economical studies in telecommunication networks are important and quite complicated topics. One of the major challenges is to estimate the investment in new or additional network equipment to consider a new service, or to compare two technologies in the same or different frequency band. In order to carry out this kind of analysis, a nationwide network design and dimensioning study has t...

The high prices currently achieved in the acquisition of nonrenewable energy for electricity production and the low levels of energy efficiency in the housing sector are the national situation, which leads the Portuguese government to encourage the acquisition, the installation and the use of technologies which exploit indigenous and renewable energy. This study presents an application that was...

This paper locates the notion of technological revolutions in the NeoSchumpeterian effort to understand innovation and to identify the regularities, continuities and discontinuities in the process of innovation. It looks at the microand meso-foundations of the patterns observed in the evolution of technical change and the interrelations with the context that shape the rhythm and direction of in...
