Cesaro fins parametric optimization for enhancement in the solidification performance of a latent heat storage system with combined fins, foam, and nanoparticle

A review of the techno-economic potential and environmental impact analysis through life cycle assessment of parabolic trough collector towards the contribution of sustainable energy

“… Solar T.E.S T.E.S systems can be combined with solar P.T.C systems to store SE for later use. A fluid is heated using the SE that has been captured, and the heated fluid then transmits the heat to a T.E.S medium, like molten salt [ 128 ]. To improve the performance of commercial P.T.C concentrated solar thermal power plants with T.E.S capabilities, Praveen et al [ 129 ] developed a fuzzy non-linear programming-based optimization approach employing genetic algorithms.…”

“…A life cycle assessment is an approach for determining how a product, process, or service will affect the environment throughout its entire life cycle [ 128 ]. In this section, we will examine the L.C.As of different energy generation technologies, including coal, natural gas, nuclear power plants, biofuels, P.T.Cs, solar PV, hydropower from reservoirs and rivers, ocean, and wind energy.…”
