“…However, few studies investigated the efficiency of the water when mixed with other materials as a heat carrier. A mixture of water and ethylene glycol was used by Johnsson and Adl-zarrabi (2020) [73], while Mirzanamadi et al (2020) [78] used a mixture of water and 42% propylene glycol. These materials enhanced the water so as to absorb more heat when compared with pure water.…”

Continually using fossil fuels as the main source for producing electricity is one of the main factors causing global warming. Through the past years, several efforts have been made, looking for sustainable, environmentally friendly, and clean energy alternatives. Harvesting geothermal energy from roadway pavement is one of the alternatives that have been developed and investigated recently. Herein, a systematic review and bibliometric analysis were conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of the potentials of harvesting thermal energy from asphalt pavement and to assess the level of achievement being attained towards developed technologies. A total of 713 articles were initially collected, considering the period between 2006 and 2021; later, a series of filtration processes were performed to reach 47 publications. The thermal energy harvesting technologies were categorized into three main sectors, at which their basics and principles were discussed. In addition, a detailed description of the systems’ configurations, materials, and efficiency was presented and described. Finally, gaps and future directions were summarized at the end of this paper. The fundamental knowledge introduced herein can inspire researchers to detect research gaps and serve as a wake-up call to motivate them to explore the high potentials of utilizing pavements as a clean and sustainable energy source.

“…Secondly, electric power production from a solar source should be performed by positioning a dedicated PV panel directly on the ground in port areas without significant cars. The technology of solar roads rapidly increases its penetration, especially on infrastructures and installation characterized by wide spaces without buildings and people presence [63][64][65].…”

The present paper deals with an infrastructure digitization policy to optimize maintenance processes and energy efficiency to transform port areas to ZED (Zero Energy District). The Lazio Region started the process for all its ports in 2020. The Anzio port started and developed as a pilot project as it is a particularly representative sample for the Mediterranean Sea reality due to its geomorphological conformation. The study aimed to develop energy-saving procedures and strategies and integrate production systems from Renewable Energy Systems (RESs) for sustainable mobility. In the article, these strategies are described in detail and energy analysis is carried out, starting from the current state and demonstrating the potential energy self-sufficiency of the infrastructure. Finally, the investigation’s potential utilizing a Digital Twin (DT) of the area is highlighted. Furthermore, the BIM (Building Information Modeling) and GIS (Geographic Information System) combining possibility to maximize the energy efficiency measures beneficial impact are discussed.

ÖzBu çalışmada yedi farklı geometrik tasarıma sahip yatay toprak ısı değiştiricilerin enerji verimini etkileyen basınç kayıpları bilgisayar destekli simülasyonlar aracılığı ile incelenmiştir. 30 m 2 'lik (6mx5m) bir bahçe alanında kullanılmak üzere tasarlanan modeller, denklemlerin hesaplama kolaylığı açısından, iki boyutlu olarak oluşturulmuştur. Her bir tasarım ısı değişim yüzey alanları, basınç kayıpları ve enerji verimlilikleri açısından karşılaştırılmıştır. Enerji verimlilikleri açısından karşılaştırılmaları ısı değişim yüzey alanlarının basınç kayıplarına oranı olarak tabir edilen enerji kazanım oranı değerleri üzerinden yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara bakıldığında Tasarım-6'nın en yüksek ısı değişim yüzey alanına (6,9681m 2 ), en düşük basınç kaybına (88,9790kPa) ve aynı zamanda en yüksek enerji kazanım oranına sahip olduğu (0,0783m 2 kPa -1 ) görülmüştür. Her ne kadar diğer tasarımlara göre Tasarım-6 en enerji verimli gözükse de işletim ve bakım açısından değerlendirildiklerinde diğer tasarımlar yek pare olarak kullanılabileceklerken Tasarım-6'nın çok fazla bağlantı elemanı içermesinden dolayı pratik kullanımının riskli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Sonuçların projenin geliştirilmeye devam edilmesi açısından çok verimli olduğu görülmüştür.
