“…It is pertinent to mention that the energy conversion efficiency with thermoelectric system still needs improvement. Also, a greater potential can be realised with the use of phase change material for storing the waste heat for useful purpose, specifically for the charging of electric vehicles [40,41,42] that subsequently improves the overall charging efficiency. The latest developments include nanomaterials [7], but these are still in the development stage, and system design improvements such as thermoelectric material volume and weight.…”

This study bestows an essential abridged review of the manifestations of carbon capture & storage (CCS) systems and the ambivalence of quantum-dot & organic photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. This research implicates that CCS system is evolving in capturing CO 2 emissions from coal-fired electrical power stations to further mitigate climate change. Different manifestations are discussed for capturing and storing the CO 2 with repercussions on operating costs, toxicity and energy efficiency. Chemical Looping Combustion appears to be the more energy efficient than Oxy-fuel CFBC and Ionic Liquids, and less expensive than Calcium Looping and Amine Scrubbing. Calcium Looping (Cal) and Ionic Liquids are also less toxic than Amine Scrubbing. Direct air technology is also very compelling at capturing CO 2 emissions but highly expensive. Nevertheless, further research is still required for all CCS systems to be able to implement them widely in existing/new electrical power stations. Waste heat energy recovery systems can be used in conjunction with CO 2 capture systems for further reduction of emissions. The ambivalence of quantum dot and organic solar cells are briefly reviewed. It implicates that composite film with enhanced quantum dot effects will make the film highly transparent and options of tunability of its color spectrum make the quantum dot solar cells highly attractive to a wide variety of applications. Organic solar cells are carbon-rich polymers and can be designed to improve a precise function of the cell, such as sensitivity to a certain type of light. OPV cells can only be considered as half-competent to crystalline silicon and have smaller beneficial lifespans, but could be less costly to produce in high volumes. Current research issues are substitution/compromises between electrical power conversion efficiency and average visible light transmittance. However, improving average light-transmittance decreases electrical power conversion efficiency and vice versa.

“…Temperature is one of the major properties which conclude the climate of any area. Any change in temperature results in the change of climate of the region affecting the power generation from the PV system [34]. Most of the areas in Pakistan experienced higher weather temperatures influencing higher surface temperatures elevating above 45 °C during summer months.…”

“…The PV systems installed are of two types, on-grid and off-grid systems [32]. In the grid-connected system PV panels are connected directly to the grid by using DC/AC power electronics converters [33,34]. The major component to convert the DC generated power into AC power with required voltage is the inverter.…”

The domestic dwellings in Pakistan have predominantly implemented low-carbon strategies by harvesting solar energy using photovoltaic (PV) panels as a long-term vision of low-carbon economy. Most of the urban areas in Pakistan stay hot and humid in an entire year. Consistent solar irradiation at higher temperatures is one of the major factors that affect the power generation performance of monocrystalline PV systems pose challenges to performance and degradation issues. Monocrystalline PV module efficiencies are declining and damaging under the continuous exposure to higher surface daytime temperatures in the different parts of the country. MATLAB simulations were performed based on the validated mathematical approach. This paper investigates the hot arid surface temperature impacts on the performance of PV modules during the summer and winter seasons in Pakistan. The investigations are performed examining the comparative output power generating performance of the PV system. This paper also investigates the influence of installations of PV-system in the North, South, East and West regions of Pakistan. It was examined that the northern areas of Pakistan are more suitable for maintaining the long-term durability of the PV system. Investigations are performed for the peak summer and peak winter days. During summer months, cooling strategies have to be implemented to overcome the heating effects whilst reducing degradation effect on installed PV-system.

“…In order to investigate the power flow from the PV system, current-voltage linkage is analysed. PV modules can be designed in parallel and series to achieve the required output power [39]. The current-voltage and efficiency are investigated in Eastern Pakistan to examine the temperature power flow, a similar approach is used in [27].…”

Due to an increase of the monocrystalline PV systems installations, for a drive towards the sustainable smart cities in the hot arid developing country such as Pakistan, pose challenges of the performance and degradation issues. Monocrystalline PV module efficiencies are declining and damaging under the continuous exposure to higher surface day-time temperatures in the different parts of the country. A MATLAB simulations were performed based on the validated mathematical approach. This paper investigates the hot arid surface temperature impacts on the performance of PV modules during the summer and winter seasons in Pakistan. The investigations are performed examining the power generating efficiency of the PV system. This paper also investigates the influence of installations of PV-system in the North, South, East and West regions of Pakistan. It was examined that the northern areas of Pakistan are more suitable for maintaining the long-term durability of the PV system. Investigations are performed for the peak summer and peak winter days.
