Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Plant in Tower Configuration with and without Thermal Energy Storage (TES)

Gemma Gasa et al.

Summary: This study conducted a life cycle assessment of a CSP tower plant with molten salts storage and compared it with a reference CSP plant without storage. The plant with storage showed lower environmental impact, with the solar field and storage system having the highest impact. The study highlights the importance of storage in reducing the environmental impact of CSP plants.

Optimal Operation of Energy Hubs With Large-Scale Distributed Energy Resources for Distribution Network Congestion Management

Junjie Hu et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the complementarity of multiple energy resources in energy hubs to solve possible distribution network congestions. An optimal operation strategy of multiple energy hubs enables gas-to-electricity to provide local energy supply for EH during electricity peak periods, and consume renewable energy generation by the complementarity of electricity, heat and cooling. The proposed operation strategy explores EHs' operation flexibility to mitigate distribution network congestion when considering high renewable energy penetration.

Unpacking stereotypes about sustainable energy: Knowledge, policy, and public misperceptions of solar energy and coal in China

Yong Liu et al.

Summary: Some negative stereotypes regarding solar energy and positive stereotypes regarding coal are incorrect and could lead to misunderstandings and prejudice hindering sustainable energy development. More research is needed on residents' stereotypes of solar energy and coal, particularly in China. Participants commonly viewed solar energy as clean, abundant, and sustainable, but also unreliable and regionally restricted, while coal was largely seen as unsustainable and a major source of pollution, despite some positive stereotypes such as low price and mature technology. The study showed that knowledge sources could influence stereotypes, with television and the internet being the top sources of information on solar energy and coal. Proposed policies to combat negative stereotypes include comparative thinking, providing accurate information, and governmental promotion.
