“…Another line of research in sustainable systems was related to solar technologies, in particular thermal collectors and photovoltaic (PV). Literature on such a topic is very wide: Goel et al [16] presented a comprehensive review of solar thermal air heating systems, discussing the various designs and techniques used for performance enhancement; recently, Sarma et al [17] published a review on research work on improving the thermal performance of the solar flat plate collector; Singh and his group reported a review of solar energy and concentrating collectors and their application in power plants [18]; Zluwa and Pitha [19] provided an overview of the relevant literature on building greenery systems and PV combined solutions; in [20], a review was conducted on building integrated photovoltaic systems to provide guidance for practical applications in terms of the selection of appropriate photovoltaic technologies, temperature management, enhancement of solar irradiation and avoidance of excessive mechanical strain; finally, Abdin and Rachid [21] provided a review of photovoltaic/thermal technology (PV/T), describing the different heat extraction media, hybrid design configurations and their feasibility and efficiency in the industry and buildings sector.…”

At the Department of Management and Engineering (DTG) of the University of Padova (Italy), the research team led by Prof. Renato Lazzarin, formed by the authors, worked during the first fifteen years of the millennium on different topics focused on sustainable technologies for energy production and utilization in buildings. Both experimental and theoretical/modeling studies were carried out, all sharing the evaluation of energy performance and sustainability: From the life cycle assessment and life cycle cost of building insulation materials in Italy, to the measurement of energy performance of a green roof, to the experimental measurement of different photovoltaic/thermal modules, to the development of a simulation software for direct and indirect evaporative cooling techniques, to the evaluation of different energy savings techniques for refrigeration and air conditioning in supermarkets, to an extensive analysis of the urban heat island effect in the city of Padova. The paper summarizes the main theoretical and experimental approaches, providing the methods adopted in each line of research. The main results of the studies conducted during the fifteen-year period are described and commented on, some of which were a well-established reference for the following literature.

“…The ORC plants can be coupled to a wide range of design configurations of concentrating and non-concentrating solar collector types [14,15]. Singh et al reviewed the optimization, performance analysis and economic feasibility of different types of concentrating solar power technologies and suggested the linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) system as more economic for power units [16]. Ortega-Fernandez et al investigated the thermal performance of a small-scale LFR-ORC power system.…”

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) coupled with a linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) utilizes a low-grade heat source. This article presents the study of a small-scale LFR–ORC power-generation plant under the climatic conditions of Almatret, Spain. The mathematical modelling is performed using thermodynamic equations and simulations are conducted to evaluate the optical performance of the LFR system and thermal performance of the ORC plant. Therminol-62 is used as a heat-transfer fluid (HTF) in the solar field, whereas NOVECTM 649 is used as the working fluid in the ORC power system. The LFR is integrated with a thermal-storage unit based on a two-tank system and stores the solar thermal energy via a heat exchanger. The thermal-energy output of the receiver tube of the LFR system is 108 kW and thermal losses are 7.872 kW during the peak time operation of a day at 1:00 p.m. The mechanical power output of the ORC turbine is 7.296 kW using the specific design conditions and the two-tank thermal-storage system adds 4 operation hours to the power plant after sunset.
