Multi-criteria design optimization and thermodynamic analysis of a novel multi-generation energy system for hydrogen, cooling, heating, power, and freshwater

Industrial decarbonization via hydrogen: A critical and systematic review of developments, socio-technical systems and policy options

“…The strong coupling between hydrogen and renewable and low-carbon energy sources incentivizes the use of hydrogen as an energy vector whenever possible, across its sociotechnical elements. Thus, a unique feature in the form of a positive feedback loop exists within this system, where wider hydrogen adoption enables the greater production of low and zero-carbon hydrogen through decarbonization of power, heating and fuels used through the hydrogen supply chain [677][678][679][680][681][682][683][684][685][686][687][688][689][690][691].…”

A systematic evaluation of adiabatic‐compressed air energy storage (A‐CAES) based on generating side photovoltaic: A case study on western China

“…Investment in renewable energy sources, including hydro, wind, and photovoltaic (PV), has dramatically increased in recent years in response to the increasing demand for electricity, concerns over the threat of climate change, and a global energy transition away from the use of fossil fuels for power generation 1 . Furthermore, these energy sources are more reliable, greener, and more environment‐friendly thanks to their low emission 2 .…”

Optimization of a multi-generation power, desalination, refrigeration and heating system

“…Tri-generation is the simultaneous production of electricity, heating, and refrigeration from renewable or non-renewable energy sources by integration of a power cycle with a refrigeration cycle and a heat recovery system [1]. In multi-generation systems, part of the electricity or refrigeration or heating is used to produce one or more additional products/outputs/services such as hydrogen or drying or hot water [2], or hot water and hydrogen [3,4], or hydrogen and potable water [5,6]. These systems constitute alternatives that help the community to satisfy global energy needs while lowering environmental impacts and costs.…”
