Photovoltaic power plant project management is a complex and difficult task that requires various aspects such as project management, technical research, equipment procurement, installation and commissioning. At the same time, China's photovoltaic power station projects also face problems such as poor construction environment, unstable equipment quality, and fast technological updates. This article combines the actual situation of photovoltaic power station project management and conducts in-depth research on how to apply project management to the construction of photovoltaic power station projects. With specific examples, it elaborates on the implementation effect of efficient management strategy in engineering construction. Meanwhile, this article can also optimize and improve existing debugging techniques, provide corresponding improvement measures, and evaluate their role in improving project efficiency and quality. The cost before the design phase experiment is 1.2 million yuan, and the cost after the experiment is 1.05 million yuan, with a cost reduction ratio of 0.143 yuan; the cost before the procurement phase experiment is 2.5 million yuan, and the cost after the experiment is 2.3 million yuan. The cost reduction ratio is 0.087. The research value of this article mainly lies in the empirical analysis and optimization of the project management system for photovoltaic power station engineering.

In recent times, renewable energy resources have been greatly researched because of the increasing concern to minimize global warming and meet energy demands. Energy storage systems have become useful tools for sustainability and meeting energy needs. Solar energy has proven in recent times to be the primary and most prevalent option due to its environmental friendliness, availability, and minimal pollution. Effective utilization of available energy resources has led to developing new alternative energy devices like the solar thermal energy storage system (STESS) with a solar energy source. Solar thermal energy systems are efficient systems that utilize solar energy to produce thermal and electrical energy. This review aims to give a detailed overview of solar TESS, different TES application systems, and effective methods of increasing the system performance to provide energy during deficient times. The various classifications, basic components, the principle of operation, application areas of STESSs, prospects, and extensive reviews on these aspects have also been discussed in this review. The different factors to be considered geared towards meeting energy demands and increasing the efficiency of solar TES systems have been duly detailed. This review is a single manuscript with a detailed overview of STESS, the principle of operation and components of STESS, thermal energy storage materials, a description of different application systems, and a discussion of factors responsible for improving the system efficiency.

Solar energy is one of the most important sources of renewable energies, which is widely used in many fields, such as electricity production through direct production of superheated steam based on Linear Fresnel Reflector. This study aims to show the optical and thermal behavior of linear Fresnel solar reflectors field directed to the electricity production in El-Oued region at Algeria. Four days of different weather data have been selected to track the change in solar field performance. Numerical optical modeling has shown that the optical performance of the solar field has reached 53.60 %, while the thermal study based on the numerical solution of the energy balance equations of the receiver tube proved that the thermal efficiency was 37.3 % and the average thermal loss coefficient was limited between 5.72 and 5.98 W/m²K. As for the superheated steam temperature, the lowest value was recorded in December with a value of 501 K. The results obtained are very compelling and encouraging to invest in this low-cost technology.
