TL;DR: In this article, the performance of concentrated solar power plants equipped with molten salts thermal storage to cover a base load of 3MWel was investigated in two locations: Gela in southern Italy and Luxor in Egypt.

TL;DR: In this article, a ground-mounted 1778.48kWp photovoltaic plant, realized by TerniEnergia S.p.A. and located in Marsciano (Perugia, Italy), is examined using the methodology of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which allows to consider all stages of the life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to the plant's disposal (from a cradle to grave perspective).

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of three different strategies, for renewables integration and scale-up sustainability in the ammonia synthesis process, was investigated using thermochemical simulations, and the study is finalized to compare the energy efficiency and sustainability of those three strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, a study about a hybrid solution including a large scale energy storage system coupled with power generation and fast responding energy storage systems is presented, which can deliver the energy previously stored by using an air liquefaction process either with or without the contribution of additional energy from combustion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a feasible system design for medium scale cogeneration plants which are not considered economically and technically interesting for existing technologies for carbon capture, but are increasing in numbers with respect to large size power plants.
