Enhancing the performance of an Aerosols-affected Solar Power Tower in Arid Regions: A case study of Wind Turbines Hybridization. Results in engineering, 24, Article 102968. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rineng.2024.102968

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of the two most important threats to the solar power towers' (SPT) performance, i.e. aerosols' density and water scarcity, on the SPT feasibility in arid regions. The study is the first attempt to... Read More about Enhancing the performance of an Aerosols-affected Solar Power Tower in Arid Regions: A case study of Wind Turbines Hybridization.

Journal Article
Cuevas-Castillo, G. A., Michailos, S., Akram, M., Hughes, K., Ingham, D., & Pourkashanian, M. (2024). Techno economic and life cycle assessment of olefin production through CO2 hydrogenation within the power-to-X concept. Journal of cleaner production, 469, Article 143143. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.143143

The paper deals with exhaustive process modelling, techno-economic and life cycle assessment (TEA/LCA) of olefin (ethylene and propylene) production through captured CO2 and electrolytic hydrogen. Olefins are important building block chemicals with s... Read More about Techno economic and life cycle assessment of olefin production through CO2 hydrogenation within the power-to-X concept.

Techno-Economic Assessment of Molten Salt-Based Concentrated Solar Power: Case Study of Linear Fresnel Reflector with a Fossil Fuel Backup under Saudi Arabia’s Climate Conditions (2024)
Journal Article
Aljudaya, A., Michailos, S., Ingham, D. B., Hughes, K. J., Ma, L., & Pourkashanian, M. (2024). Techno-Economic Assessment of Molten Salt-Based Concentrated Solar Power: Case Study of Linear Fresnel Reflector with a Fossil Fuel Backup under Saudi Arabia’s Climate Conditions. Energies, 17(11), Article 2719. https://doi.org/10.3390/en17112719

Concentrated solar power (CSP) has gained traction for generating electricity at high capacity and meeting base-load energy demands in the energy mix market in a cost-effective manner. The linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) is valued for its cost-effecti...
