Scalable methodology for the photovoltaic solar energy potential assessment based on available roof surface area: application to Piedmont Region (Italy)

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology for estimating the PV solar energy potential is presented, together with its application to Piedmont Region (North-Western Italy), where the roof area suitable for solar applications, is calculated through the analysis of available GIS data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scalable methodology for the photovoltaic solar energy potential assessment based on available roof surface area: Further improvements by ortho-image analysis and application to Turin (Italy)

TL;DR: A brand new algorithm is presented to compute the available roof surface, based on the systematical analysis and processing of aerial georeferenced images (ortho-images), fully developed in MATLAB ® and applied to the whole city of Turin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sustainable freshwater production using passive membrane distillation and waste heat recovery from portable generator sets

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of small-scale desalination devices for freshwater production powered by waste heat from electric power generators is discussed, and experimentally investigated, in some coastal regions, which are nowadays mostly driven by non-renewable energy sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exergy analysis of solar desalination systems based on passive multi-effect membrane distillation

TL;DR: In this article, a completely passive, multi-effect membrane distillation device with an efficient use of solar energy and thus a remarkable enhancement in distillate productivity has been recently proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coffee-based colloids for direct solar absorption

TL;DR: The results obtained in field conditions show similar performance of the volumetric absorption using the proposed coffee-based colloids as compared to the classical systems based on a highly-absorbing surface, which may encourage further investigations on simple, biocompatible and inexpensive colloids for direct solar absorption.
