Due to the high consumption of fossil fuels and environmental challenges world is facing, transition towards renewable energies has become increasingly evident. Thus, enhancing performance different energy systems became a fundamental research focus. Improving annual solar photovoltaic efficiencies critical need maintain system durability. The major challenge facing technology be controlled reduced overheating cells, where this factor not only affects panels efficiency but it also causes heat-induced structural damages, long-term exposure which may accelerate material degradation, reduce panel lifespan, potentially develop hot spots. Among solutions use phase change materials. This demonstrate detailed recent literature review alongside with appropriate classifications analysis related four distinct PCM-based cooling systems: pure PCM, composite finned hybrid PCM systems. These affect efficiency, electrical power generation, temperature. Findings revealed that hydrated salt HS36 paraffin wax RT42 in can highly enhance as well enhancements achieved through incorporating multiwall carbon, graphene nanoplatelets, magnesium oxide. Moreover, integrated zinc nanoparticles aluminum fins, demonstrated promising improvements. On other hand, systems, such PVT-RT35HC nanoparticle nanofluids, shows significant gains enhancements, knowing majority studies performed during last three years were introducing article potential advancing technologies covers comprehensive goes about employing phase-change materials for cells ways classified into main categories are

Integrated biorefinery for bioethanol and succinic acid co-production from bread waste: Techno-economic feasibility and life cycle assessment

Energy Conversion and Management, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 301, С. 118033 - 118033

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2024

In this study, an advanced decarbonization approach is presented for integrated biorefinery that co-produces bioethanol and succinic acid (SA) from bread waste (BW). The economic viability the environmental performance of proposed BW processing evaluated. Four distinctive scenarios were designed analysed, focusing on a plant capacity processes 100 metric tons (MT) daily. These encompass: (1) fermentation into bioethanol, paired with heat electricity co-generation stillage, (2) energy-optimized integration Scenario 1 using pinch technology, (3) co-production SA by exclusively utilizing fermentative CO2, (4) version 3 incorporates carbon capture (CC) flue gas, amplifying production. Scenarios 4 found to be economically more attractive better due SA. Particularly, emerged as superior, showcasing payback period 2.2 years, robust internal rate return (33% after tax), investment 32%, remarkable net present value 163 M$. Sensitivity analysis underscored decisive influence fixed capital product pricing outcomes. terms impact, outperformed other across all impact categories, where global warming potential, abiotic depletion (fossil fuels), human toxicity potential most influential categories (−0.344 kg CO2-eq, −16.2 MJ, −0.3 1,4-dichlorobenzene (DB)-eq, respectively). Evidently, CC unit gas in substantially enhances both returns sustainability biorefinery.
