Life-cycle assessment of a Solar Assist Plug-in Hybrid electric Tractor (SAPHT) in comparison with a conventional tractor

Gate to gate life cycle assessment of flat pressed particleboard production in Islamic Republic of Iran

“…Some of these methods have previously been employed by other researchers (Saravia-Cortez et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2013;KouchakiPenchah et al, 2015). The industrial production process of PB was modeled in Simapro 8.03 software as one of the commonly LCA software for assessing the environmental burdens related to a product throughout its life-cycle (Mousazadeh et al, 2009). …”

“…Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the several widely used environmental management methods for investigating the environmental aspects related to a product throughout its life cycle (Rauf and Crawford, 2015;Mousazadeh et al, 2011). Silva et al (2013) in an LCA of the medium density particleboard in Brazil found that industrial production was responsible for most of the impacts in all categories.…”

Performance enhancement of photovoltaic array through string and central based MPPT system under non-uniform irradiance conditions

“…The case study showed that the shading effects due to the surrounding obstacles and the incentives play important roles in the diffusion of the PV systems [48]. In that manner, PV companies have started to use the terms of levelized cost of energy (LCE) that is one of the commonly used indicators in order to enable comparisons between alternative energy technologies [49]. Mediavilla et al studied the importance of an appropriate choice of elements for the installation [50].…”

Design method and theoretical analysis for wheel-hub driving solar tractor

“…Meanwhile it prevents large amount of other emissions such as SO 2 , HC and PM entering to air, water and soil in the life-time. The life-cycle costs (LCC) of SAPHT is lower than internal combustion engine tractor at any diesel fuel unit price (Mousazadeh et al, 2011).…”
