“…19 The coupons for the 3PB test were water cut from the composite plate (approx. 80 mm * 80 mm with thickness of 2.3 mm) and the geometry of 3PB coupon is 10*2.3*50 mm 3 (width*thickness*length).…”

“…Finally, liquid silicon was infiltrated into the porous C/C structure (at T max > 1420°C) by capillary forces and reacted with the carbon matrix to form silicon carbide. Due to the processing method, the final C/C-SiC was a dense multiphase material (density 1.80 g/cm 3 ; open porosity ~ 2%), characterized by load bearing carbon fiber bundles (~55 vol.%) embedded in a SiC matrix (~14 vol.%) with a small amount of residual Si (~3 vol.%) and C (~26 vol.%).…”

“…Energy storage solutions are required because supply from renewable resources temporally and spatially mismatched to demand from consumers. [1][2][3] In general, the storage of thermal energy can be cheaper and more resource-conserving than storage of electrical energy 4 and is more reasonable in cases where thermal energy is finally needed by the user. A general requirement of thermal energy storage materials is a high energy density.…”

Thanks to their high energy density and thermal conductivity, metallic Phase Change Materials (mPCM) have shown great potential to improve the performance of thermal energy storage systems. However, the commercial application of mPCM is still limited due to their corrosion behavior with conventional container materials. This work first addresses on a fundamental level, whether carbon‐based composite‐ceramics are suitable for corrosion critical components in a thermal storage system. The compatibility between the mPCM AlSi12 and the Liquid Silicon Infiltration (LSI)‐based carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (C/C‐SiC) composite is then investigated via contact angle measurements, microstructure analysis, and mechanical testing after exposure. The results reveal that the C/C‐SiC composite maintains its mechanical properties and microstructure after exposure in the strongly corrosive mPCM. Based on these results, efforts were made to design and manufacture a container out of C/C‐SiC for the housing of mPCM in vehicle application. The stability of the component filled with mPCM was proven nondestructively via computer tomography (CT). Successful thermal input‐ and output as well as thermal storage ability were demonstrated using a system calorimeter under conditions similar to the application. The investigated C/C‐SiC composite has significant application potential as a structural material for thermal energy storage systems with mPCM.

“…A significant driver of pyrolysis is also the growing interest in environmental sustainability [11]. Energy security is a significant factor that enables the system to function optimally and sustainably, free of threats and risks [12]. Energy security guarantees energy supply reliability at an affordable price, and is therefore affected by economic, political and technical conditions [13].…”

The first industrial-scale pyrolysis plant for solid tire wastes has been installed in Jenin, northern of the West Bank in Palestine, to dispose of the enormous solid tire wastes in the north of West Bank. The disposable process is an environmentally friendly process and it converts tires into useful products, which could reduce the fuel crisis in Palestine. The gravimetric analysis of tire waste pyrolysis products from the pyrolysis plant working at the optimum conditions is: tire pyrolysis oil (TPO): 45%, pyrolysis carbon black (PCB): 35%, pyrolysis gas (Pyro-Gas): 10% and steel wire: 10%. These results are depending on the tire type and size. It has been found that the produced pyrolysis oil has a High Heating Value (HHV), with a range of 42 − 43 ( MJ / kg ) , which could make it useful as a replacement for conventional liquid fuels. The main disadvantage of using the TPO as fuel is its strong acrid smell and its low flash point, as compared with the other conventional liquid fuels. The produced pyrolysis carbon black also has a High Heating Value (HHV) of about 29 (MJ/kg), which could also encourage its usage as a solid fuel. Carbon black could also be used as activated carbon, printers’ ink, etc. The pyrolysis gas (Pyro-Gas) obtained from waste tires mainly consist of light hydrocarbons. The concentration of H2 has a range of 30% to 40% in volume and it has a high calorific value (approximately 31 MJ / m 3 ), which can meet the process requirement of energy. On the other hand, it is necessary to clean gas before the burning process to remove H2S from Pyro-Gas, and hence, reduce the acid rain problem. However, for the current plant, some recommendations should be followed for more comfortable operation and safer environment work conditions.

“…Moreover, energy storages can act as a complementary component to maximize the integration of PV resources and lead to a sustainable power grid . Nevertheless, energy storage technology is relatively expensive and a massive amount of energy storage capacity is required to achieve the aforementioned purposes Potential attack risks: A solar farm is usually connected near to the power distribution loads to reduce system losses.…”

Summary Solar photovoltaic technology is intermittent in nature and employs power converters for grid‐interconnection, which can bring stability and power quality (PQ) issues to the power grid. Therefore, a set of testing guidelines is required to assure that solar plants comply with the grid and inverter requirements. As such, this article presents comprehensive testing guidelines for the interconnection of solar systems into Malaysian power grid, including inverter and PQ tests. The test points, conditions, parameters and acceptable limits for both tests are discussed in detail. This article also presents the results of a case study in which the testing guidelines were applied to examine the PQ of an actual grid‐connected solar photovoltaic plant in Malaysia and to assess the performance of the smart inverter used in the tested solar system. The testing outcomes, which were recorded by a PQ analyser, showed that the tested solar system was in compliance with all the requirements stipulated in the testing guidelines. The findings presented in this article will help relevant parties to understand these solar testing guidelines and serve to promote the wide deployment of solar technology towards a clean and sustainable future.
