In direct steam generation (DSG) concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, a common thermal
energy storage (TES) option relies on steam accumulation. This conventional option is …

Abstract Systems involving more than one energy source, namely hybrid systems, can be
arranged in different configurations and layouts depending on the available or used energy …

Many coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) face special challenges such as ageing infrastructure,
neglected equipment maintenance, and reduced funding. To assist with cost-effective …

A modified Kalina cycle with parallel cogeneration of power and refrigeration abbreviated as
PPR-KC was proposed and investigated. The cycle cogenerates refrigeration by further …

The high thermal energy consumption required for solvent regeneration hinders the
commercial-scale implementation of the solvent based carbon dioxide capture and storage …

The availability of freshwater and energy is a serious issue in remote and islanded areas,
especially at a small scale, where there may not be the possibility to access the grid and/or …
