“…This is due to the fact that the life cycle cost and energy management strategy optimization minimizing the loss of supply probability are integrated. In addition, the conventional LCC method is frequently used to evaluate the Dish-Stirling concentrating solar power plant [88]. The role of discount rates is not reflected in the study, but rather, the costs are directly used for statistical calculations.…”

In order to pursue clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy utilization and accelerate the development of new energy, sustainability is the necessary research. In recent decades, solar power generation has rapidly formed and been widely applied. Sustainability analysis is a key aspect that directly affects the construction of solar power projects when conducting solar power generation construction. This paper attempts to start with life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) and study the status quo of its three pillars (These three pillars include life cycle assessment, life cycle cost assessment, and social life cycle assessment) in the field of solar power generation. At the same time, the externality indicators are considered between pillars. In addition, the application of uncertainty analysis was studied during the analysis process to address the impact of various random factors. The conclusion shows that further research is needed to support this transition by integrating life cycle assessment, life cycle cost, and social life cycle assessment into LCSA for the evaluation. To improve the effectiveness of future research, studies should focus on fulfilling major data gaps in the literature such as the lack of detailed documentation for specific materials and background process choices in life cycle assessment databases. The development of solar power generation can be an important alternative in efforts to decrease climate change impacts and pursue cleaner energy sources in countries where solar energy is more easily available by integrating life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle cost (LCC), and social life cycle assessment (SLCA) into LCSA. The sustainable development of the solar power generation industry in terms of multiple aspects is supported.

“…However, hydrogenation processes can be applied to biodiesel to enhance its properties. Hydrogen, as a clean energy carrier, has a wide range of applications and can be produced through methods like electrolysis using renewable sources [26][27][28]. Akcay et al [29], Das et al [30] and Kanth et al [31] conducted trials on a diesel engine fueled with a blend of diesel and WCO, supplemented with hydrogen and air.…”

Waste cooking oil is an attractive feedstock for biodiesel production because of its low cost and availability. This research delved into the viability of utilizing waste cooking oil at varying blend ratios 10%, 15%, and 20% in conjunction with different levels of hydrogen enrichment (3 lit/min, 6 lit/min, and 9 lit/min) for a CRDI single-cylinder diesel engine. The study meticulously examined the impact of combustion parameters, specifically injection pressure (IP), hydrogen (H2) infusion, and waste cooking oil (WCO) inclusion. In terms of both performance and emission considerations, the investigation aimed to optimize these crucial combustion parameters. This was achieved through the implementation of a response surface methodology (RSM), with the primary objective of minimizing emission levels while maximizing engine performance. The emission aspect took into account notable reductions in key characteristics, including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), smoke, and hydrocarbon (HC) concentrations in the engine exhaust gases. Simultaneously, the performance facet entailed a discernible enhancement in fuel economy and an impressive 8-9% increase in Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE).

“…Zhang [14] observes the increase of the brake thermal efficiency at hydrogen use as additional fuel to a diesel engine fueled with biodiesel, up till 38%, and a slightly reduction of the NOx emission level. Wang [15] limits the hydrogen quantity in order to limit the increase of the NOx emission level at a diesel engine, even the engine performance are improved by hydrogen use and try to explain the apply of HCCI method for pollutant emission improve based on literature review. Thiyagarajans [16] explains the effects of the hydrogen at fuelling a diesel engine in order to reduce the carbon emissions, reduction of the smoke emission, showing that improved combustion leads to the NOx emission level increase and suggests EGR or catalytic converter use to decrease the NOx emission level.…”

The promotion of fuels with low carbon content is the solution to reduce pollutant emissions in all areas of transport in a relatively short time. In this context, hydrogen is privileged, being a viable alternative fuel for internal combustion engines in all fields of transport, having the advantage of preserving the basic structure of the engine. The main obstacles to the large-scale expansion of the use of hydrogen as a fuel in internal combustion engines in transport are determined by the cost of production, storage on board the vehicle and the distribution network, large investments being required. The concept of using hydrogen as an alternative fuel to the diesel engine is relatively recent, the concerns of specialists being more intense in the last two decades. The improvement of the energy and pollution performance of the diesel engine when operating in a dual system, with diesel and hydrogen, is determined by the improvement of the combustion process due to the good combustion properties of hydrogen. The paper presents theoretical modeling results regarding the influence of hydrogen on the combustion pressure, the pressure rise rate, the heat release rate, the indicated efficiency and the nitrogen oxides emission level.
