As the living standards of Chinese people have been improving, the energy demand for cooling and heating, mainly in the form of electricity, has also expanded. Since an integrated cooling, heating and power supply system (CCHP) will serve this demand better, the government is now attaching more importance to the application of CCHP energy systems. Based on the characteristics of the combined co...

Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic (3E) evaluation are performed to assess the performance of a NH3/H2O cycle integrated with parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSC). To provide continuous electricity produced by generator when solar beam radiation is insufficient a stabilizer temperature subsystem is utilized. The major thermodynamic parameters and climate conditions variations are selected to...

The reduction of energy consumption, operation costs and CO2 emissions at the Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) is a major consideration in wireless telecommunications networks, while the utilization of alternative energy sources, such as solar or wind, having emerged as an attractive solution with numerous advantages. Nevertheless, the installation of BTSs with renewable energy, induces specifi...

The global trends for the rapid growth of distributed solar heat and power in the last decade will likely continue as the levelized cost of production for these technologies continues to decline. To be able to compare the economic potential of solar technologies one must first quantify the types and amount of solar resource that each technology can utilize; second, estimate the technological pe...

Austria is committed to the net-zero climate goal along with European Union. This requires all sectors be decarbonized. Hereby, hydrogen plays a vital role as stated in national strategy. A report commissioned by Austrian government predicts minimum demand of 16 TWh per year 2040. Besides imports, domestic production can ensure supply. Hence, this study analyses levelized cost for an off-grid p...
