“…PV technologies can reach high temperatures, although devices are often used in utility-scale power stations. Ma et al suggested combining PV technology with a parabolic trough collector power plant, resulting in a 1.7% increase in the plant's performance [13]. The fresh system's LCoE was 3% lower than the facility's.…”

Due to the inherent frequency ripple in single-phase photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected solar inverters, the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) will inevitably be affected. To improve the MPPT performances, a passive LC power decoupling circuit with a Robust Sliding-Mode Control (RSMC) is proposed in this article. The frequency pulsation on the DC link is effectively canceled with the passive LC decoupling path. Thus, the MPPT accuracy is significantly enhanced, and the utilization of a small DC-link capacitor becomes possible. The resonance between the LC circuit and the main DC-link capacitor appears, which can be damped through an active damping method. The proposed RSMC offers good steady-state, dynamic performance (voltage fluctuation and settling time), and the robustness of the DC-link voltage, which is also beneficial to MPPT control in terms of high accuracy and fast dynamics. The systematic design of RSMC is presented, and a detailed parameter optimization design of the LC decoupling circuit is discussed. Experimental tests are performed on a 2.5-kW single-phase grid-connected solar inverter, and the results validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

“…Concentration takes place in two processes, allowing us to achieve greater temperatures in the thermal collector. This approach can generate both electrical with thermal energy [7][8][9][10]. Furthermore, it has been found that the presence of a helical absorber tube led to an increased exergy efficiency of 4%-5% higher than the smooth absorbers [11][12][13]…”

In this paper, discussions have been made about parabolic trough collectors, their various components and modifications implemented in those systems. It has been seen in this study, that the implementation of design modifications to absorbers, the use of various heat transfer fluids, the use of a secondary reflector as well as the use of pin fins enhance the performance of these Collectors. Furthermore, explanations have been done on the various methods and tools such as the Monte Carlo Ray Tracing method implemented while developing these improvements to the existing system. During this study, it has been observed that varieties of twisted tubes have been used which is one such advancement toward a plane tube absorber. It has been observed that the implementation of changes in the receiver tubes can lead to a system having an efficiency of around 75.5% as compared to the systems with simple tubes while modifications to the reflectors enhance the optical efficiency of the collectors by 5%. It has also been observed that the application of Twisted Tubes enhances the performance by 9.2% more than plane tubes. It has also been found that the fluids used in the absorber tubes have been experimented with wherein nanofluids have been utilized thereby resulting in increased performance. It can be concluded that the maximum thermal achieved by the MWCNT nanofluid is 22% higher than the base fluid.

“…According to international agreements, achieving neutral-carbon emissions is one of the ideas for sustainable development in today's societies [ 9 , 10 ]. However, over 80% of the society's energy requirements are met through fossil fuel-burned power plants, which results in a huge amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere [ 11 , 12 ]. In 2019, about 70% of the carbon emissions released into the atmosphere were related to the burning of fossil energies [ 13 ].…”
