Binary power generation system by utilizing solar energy in Malaysia

Md. Zahir Hossain et al.

Summary: Binary cycle power plants have the potential to utilize solar energy as a heating source in Malaysia, which has a high solar irradiation and sunshine duration. However, no feasibility study has been conducted on this topic. In this work, a techno-economic analysis was performed using HOMER and MATLAB Simulink, with Teaching Learning Based Optimization showing the most optimized economic cost. The study confirms the feasibility of binary power cycle generation using solar energy as a heat source in Malaysia.

A review of trends and drivers of greenhouse gas emissions by sector from 1990 to 2018

William F. Lamb et al.

Summary: Global greenhouse gas emissions from five economic sectors show limited progress in reducing emissions. Decarbonization in energy systems is observed in Europe and North America, while fossil-based energy systems continue to expand in rapidly industrializing regions. Strong demand in Asia drives emissions growth in industry, buildings, and transport sectors, while agricultural expansion leads to emissions increases in tropical forest regions.

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.
