Energy, exergy, economic and environmental (4E) analysis of a parabolic trough solar collector using MXene based silicone oil nanofluids

Zafar Said et al.

Summary: The present study conducted a 4E (Energy, Exergy, Economic, and Environmental) analysis of a nanofluid-based parabolic trough collector (PTC) using a developed MATLAB model. The addition of MXene (Ti3C2) nanoparticles greatly enhanced the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid at the highest concentration. The PTC exhibited an optical efficiency of 79%, with thermal and exergy efficiencies of 74.71% and 22.44% respectively. The use of MXene-based silicone oil reduced system costs and increased energy gains. Additionally, there were significant CO2 mitigation and environmental benefits.

Impact of solar tracker and energy storage system on sizing of hybrid energy systems: A comparison between diesel/PV/PHS and diesel/PV/FC

Sina Makhdoomi et al.

Summary: The design of renewable energy-based hybrid systems poses a challenge, particularly for electrification in off-grid regions. This paper focuses on optimizing the size of hybrid energy systems using different tracking systems. Results show that employing pumped hydro storage (PHS) decreases the total net present cost (TNPC) compared to fuel cells (FC), and using a solar tracker in certain systems may not be cost-effective.

The implementation of grid-connected, residential rooftop photovoltaic systems under different load scenarios in Malaysia

K. Y. Lau et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that rooftop PV systems can increase the renewable fraction and reduce carbon emissions under various electric load scenarios. The 12 kW PV system is the preferred choice, but requires a long discounted payback period. Analyzing factors such as PV module price and tariff rate can help lower NPC and shorten the payback period.
