“…The Structured literature review method has been previously applied to analyze various aspects of energy systems, i.e., energy efficiency in buildings [22,23], renewable energy sources [24,25], smart grids [26]. Literature analysis on Stirling engine applications has been published, i.e., [13] reviewed cases of biomass-fueled Stirling engine applications and solar-based Stirling systems [27].…”

Reliable heat and power supply are among the basic household needs nowadays. It is especially topical in rural or distant locations that may be cut off from the energy grid due to extreme weather or other events. Nonetheless, the sustainability of our power production systems has to be considered to sustain our planet’s long-term abilities to provide energy resources and a viable environment. Renewable energy resources must be prioritized in rural and remote areas, simultaneously strengthening distributed production ability and self-sufficiency. In this context, the use of the Stirling engine for heat to power generation in households, on the scale of small communities, and by using only renewable resources is becoming increasingly topical. Therefore, this research aims to identify the current state-of-the-art for Stirling engine applications using biomass as a renewable energy source, in the context of sustainability and energy security. The paper summarizes the current research tendencies at the household level in the use of biomass-based Stirling engines for renewable heat and power generation in decentralized energy systems. The methodology applied is a structured literature review and content analysis. The research results corroborate the progress towards the use of renewable resources and towards increased energy efficiency because the keyword and overlay analysis showed more frequent publishing in these areas. The content analysis on two more specific sub-directions of interest, i.e., biomass-fuelled Stirling engine use in households and Stirling engine implications on energy security, showed that though research activity in these directions has increased lately, more profound research is needed, especially on aspects of energy security and independence. The content analysis revealed a lack of in-depth analysis on the effects of Stirling engine use on energy security or energy independence, which is suggested as a topical subject for future research.

This study proposes an optimization strategy to analyze the trade-off between the conflicting objectives of minimizing energy use in 3D printing by fused deposition modeling. The motivation for this work is the need to optimize natural resources, finite in nature, in a more competitive industrial reality and increasingly focused on sustainability, another important point is that energy savings generate improvement in consumption raising organizational profit. The methodologies used were a brief review of the literature and response surface methodology in a CCD experiment. The modeling of the specimen took place through the CAD Fusion 360 software, its development began with the creation of a rectangular 2D sketch, obeying the parameters of 80 mm in its length and 10 mm in width, an Ender 3 printer, yellow PLA, was used following the guidelines set out in ISO 178. Objective of the research is to optimize the manufacturing process using fused deposition modeling, reducing energy consumption (kwh). A complete factorial design was used , as factors: the printing speed (X1), the printing density (X2), layer height (X3) and the layer width (X4), as a response of the experiment were adopted for the manufacturing process, energy (Y). The residue normality tests were performed, with a p-value of 0.170 > 0.05, showing that the data are normal, the VIF below 10 and R-sq (adj) is above 87.16%, the equation has the validated model.

“…Geographic Information Systems (GIS), combined with Multi-Criteria Decision-Making techniques like the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), are emerging as a relevant tool to support informed and strategic decision-making in offshore wind energy planning. These techniques provide stakeholders with valuable information for making wellinformed decisions [14]. The combination of GIS and FAHP has been widely employed in the literature to create maps identifying specific suitable locations for offshore wind farm development in different countries, considering social, technical, economic and environmental criteria.…”

Planning for offshore wind energy projects is intricate due to the consideration of multiple variables in identifying optimal project areas. The primary challenge lies in locating suitable sites, a process that often necessitates extensive feasibility studies spanning several years. The primary goal of this study is to apply the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to prioritize criteria and sub-criteria, facilitating decision-making in choosing appropriate locations for offshore wind projects in the Colombian Caribbean Sea. The weights derived from FAHP were utilized in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze the physical characteristics of the Caribbean Sea’s surface. This tool plays a critical role in evaluating and selecting sites that fulfill established criteria, providing a database of indicators and map visualizations. Four criteria were defined: technical, environmental, social, and economic, along with fourteen sub-criteria, which were prioritized through FAHP based on expert judgment. The results revealed that the most relevant sub-criteria were protected areas and wind speed. Utilizing the ArcGIS Pro software, five zones meeting the predetermined criteria were identified, defining the most feasible areas for offshore wind farm installation, located in the departments of Guajira, Magdalena, Atlántico and Bolívar. The GIS–FAHP methods proved to be useful for feasibility analysis.
