Review on life cycle assessment of energy payback and greenhouse gas emission of solar photovoltaic systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the sustainability and environmental performance of PV-based electricity generation systems by conducting a thorough review of the life cycle assessment (LCA) studies of five common photovoltaic (PV) systems, i.e., mono-crystalline (mono-Si), multi-crystaline (multi-Si) multi-Si, amorphous silicon (aSi), CdTe thin film (CdTe) and CIS thin film, and some advanced PV systems.

LCA of renewable energy for electricity generation systems—A review
Varun,I.K. Bhat,Ravi Prakash +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review existing energy and CO2 life cycle analyses of renewable sources based electricity generation systems and point out that carbon emission from renewable energy (RE) systems are not nil, as is generally assumed while evaluating carbon credits.

Life cycle GHG assessment of fossil fuel power plants with carbon capture and storage
Naser A. Odeh,Tim Cockerill +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined life cycle emissions from three types of fossil-fuel-based power plants, namely supercritical pulverized coal (super-PC), natural gas combined cycle (NGCC), with and without CCS, and found that for a 90% CO 2 capture efficiency, life cycle GHG emissions are reduced by 75-84% depending on what technology is used.

Two-loop controller for maximizing performance of a grid-connected photovoltaic-fuel cell hybrid power plant
Kyoungsoo Ro,Saifur Rahman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a two-loop controller for a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV)-fuel cell hybrid system by using a neural network controller for maximum power point tracking, which extracts maximum available solar power from PV arrays under varying conditions of insolation, temperature, and system load.
