“…One of the oldest renewable sources, hydroelectric power employs flowing water to spin turbines. While large-scale hydroelectric dams have been critiqued for their environmental impacts, small-scale hydro or run-of-the-river installations can provide sustainable electricity with a reduced footprint (Dehdashti, 2019;Matek, 2016;Paschalis et al, 2022). In essence, the proliferation of renewable energy sources showcases humanity's efforts to curate a sustainable energy future.…”

“…In a world grappling with environmental concerns and the increasing urgency of shifting from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, the role of renewable energy has never been more critical (Cho et al, 2018;Ding, Zhou, Wang, Altay, & Zhang, 2023;Joy & Chowdhury, 2021). As these green energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal, steadily become cornerstones of global energy infrastructure, there's a growing emphasis on enhancing the efficiency and ammonia-rich liquid is recirculated to the evaporator, and the water-rich liquid undergoes a pressure drop before mixing with the returning ammonia-rich liquid, initiating the cycle anew (Dagher et al, 2017;Matek, 2016).…”

This systematic literature review delves into the integration of the Kalina Cycle with renewable energy sources, focusing on its efficiency, practicality, and future potential. The methodological framework is robust, involving a comprehensive search across electronic databases such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, and Scopus, supplemented by grey literature and hand-searched references. The search, confined to the past decade, employs a strategic combination of keywords and Boolean operators. Articles are meticulously selected based on stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, ensuring relevance and quality. Data extraction encompasses study context, findings, and methodologies, followed by a rigorous quality assessment using the PRISMA checklist. The synthesis of findings is twofold: quantitative results are analyzed through meta-analytical techniques, while qualitative data undergo thematic analysis. Two independent reviewers ensure the validity of the content, and the review commits to biennial updates for sustained relevance. This systematic review not only provides a comprehensive understanding of the Kalina Cycle's integration with renewable energies but also lays the groundwork for future research and practical applications in sustainable energy conversion.
