Summary: Due to the global energy crisis and the negative environmental effects of fossil fuels, renewable energy sources and multigeneration systems have become alternative options for conventional thermodynamic systems. This research introduces a multigeneration system that utilizes solar energy for simultaneous generation of various products. The proposed system includes a solar energy collector, thermal energy storage tanks, organic Rankine and Kalina cycles for electricity generation, a multi-effect distillation unit for fresh water production, an electrolyzer for hydrogen production, and heat recovery units. The performance of the system is studied from various viewpoints using software simulations, and the results show improved efficiency and cost reduction with the addition of a thermosyphon unit to the refrigeration system.

Summary: In this study, thermoeconomics is used to evaluate the cost distribution of a central thermal system consisting of a cogeneration engine, an aerothermal heat pump, and a natural gas condensing boiler. The combination of cogeneration systems with renewable energy technologies is attractive in the building industry, however, the use of cogeneration systems with active envelope solutions is rare and efforts to enhance the synergies between these systems are even scarcer. By applying thermoeconomics, the complex and innovative system can be analyzed and diagnosed, leading to improved energy efficiency.

Summary: A hybrid PV/T collector/evaporator was designed and a hybrid system named PV-SAHP/GHP was proposed. Outdoor experiments were conducted to compare the operating characteristics of different modes. The results showed that the GHP-PV/T mode had satisfactory energy-saving effect while the PV-SAHP mode met the temperature demand but had unsatisfactory energy conservation effect. It is recommended to operate the GHP-PV/T mode during intense radiation and the PV-SAHP mode otherwise to balance the thermal performance and energy-saving benefits.

Summary: In this study, two different electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based-activated carbon nanofiber (ACNF) composites were successfully prepared by incorporating well-distributed Fe2O3 and Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs). The metal oxide NPs were shown to easily tune the morphological and textural properties of the composites, which exhibited relatively high surface areas for CO2 and CH4 adsorption. The isosteric heats calculated lower than 80 kJ/mol indicated that physical adsorption dominated the adsorption processes of CO2 and CH4 for both ACNE composites, making them promising materials for CO2 and CH4 adsorption systems.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.
