Fossil fuels, predominant in fulfilling current energy demands, are implicated in global warming, prompting a global shift towards renewable energy sources. Among these, photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants have garnered significant attention, experiencing a rapid surge in installed power capacity. However, a notable drawback of PV solar power plants is their considerable spatial footprint, emphasizing the pivotal role of efficient space utilization and shading mitigation in their design. Notably, pitch distance, array design, and PV type emerge as critical parameters influencing the performance of these power plants during installation. In the present study, eight distinct PV solar power plant designs were conceptualized, incorporating four different PV array configurations (2P-3P-2L-3L) and two PV types (monofacial-bifacial), each with specified orientations (portrait-landscape). Other parameters were held constant across designs. Leveraging PVsyst software, simulations were conducted for each design, yielding crucial performance metrics, including the annual energy output delivered to the grid (E-grid), performance ratio (PR), and associated CO2 emissions. Subsequently, a Taguchi analysis facilitated optimization based on these results. The outcome of this analysis identified the optimal PV array design as 3D and the optimal PV type as bifacial. Further insight was gained through an ANOVA analysis, revealing the substantial contributions of parameters to overall variability. Specifically, PV type exhibited a significant contribution of 65.27%, while PV array configuration contributed 34.72% to the observed variability in plant performance. These findings not only enhance the understanding of PV power plant design intricacies but also underscore the paramount significance of array design in achieving heightened efficiency and sustainability.

Over time, the water shortage crisis will have irreparable effects on the lives of many organisms, including humans. As a small contribution to alleviate the problem, the present work presents an innovative cogeneration system based on solar and wind renewable energies for sustainable production of freshwater, power, and wastewater treatment. To produce freshwater and treat wastewater in this system, the integration of a Microbial Desalination Cell with a Humidification-Dehumidification and Reverse Osmosis water desalination unit has been used. These systems obtain the required heat from solar energy to produce freshwater, and when solar radiation is unable to provide this heat, a hydrogen internal combustion engine driven with wind energy is used. Excess heat from the internal combustion engine is fed into the organic Rankine cycle with the working fluid R141B to generate power, to reduce the system waste heat and to increase the efficiency. To check the performance of the proposed system, energy, exergy, exergeoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental (4E) analyses have been carried out. The results of the analysis of the integrated system show that this system can produce 720 kW of electricity and 5.36 m 3 /h of freshwater. The energy efficiency of the system is 22.09%, and its overall cost rate and overall environmental impact rate are 540.33 $/h and 17.37 Pts/h, respectively.
