In the context of climate change, green energies have an important place. Solar energy has gradually taken its place in the global energy mix, and investments in the operation of solar photovoltaic plants have been stimulated by a favourable market, despite the health and geopolitical crises. How can we ensure that these investments are sustainable in the sense of the United Nations’s Sustainable Development Goals? This is the objective of our study. We assessed the sustainability of large-scale, grid-connected photovoltaic solar power plants by conducting six case studies in six countries on the African continent to determine the key elements. Based on internal and external variables acting on the sustainability of on-grid solar power plants at various levels, three key areas of consideration emerged: (i) evaluation - using appropriate and qualitative evaluation tools, (ii) integration - opting for an integrated approach in the development of the investment project, and (iii) responsibility - not underestimating the corporate social responsibility in the local approach.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of natural convection fluid flow and heat transfer in an incinerator-shaped cavity containing a pair of cold finned cylinders. The discretized system is treated via the finite element method with COMSOL software. Numerical results are presented as streamlines, isotherms, entropy generation iso-contours and average Nusselt number. Effects of Rayleigh number (Ra=103-106), number of fins (N), and the solid volume fraction (ϕ=1%-4%) have been investigated. The effect of the baffles location on convective heat flux is also investigated. Results show that the rate of heat transfer is enhanced with an increase of the Rayleigh number while it is decreased by enhancement of the number of fins. In addition, the numerical results demonstrate that the average Nusselt number increases with the rise of the solid volume fraction (ϕ) for all Rayleigh numbers. Finally, it is found that the energy transfer to the cold cylinders was obtained when the baffles are located on the walls of the cylinder near the inlet (hot regions) and not on the cold walls.

Waste paper is a major source of cellulosic biomass among most biodegradable solid waste. The conversion of waste paper for glucose production was investigated in this current work using conventional and microwave-intensified method hydrolysis. The conventional method was performed by stirring for 1 h and heating at 121°C in a reflux set-up using different catalysts: sulfuric acid (H2SO4), hydrochloric acid HCl (37%), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) with two concentrations 0.1% and 5%. However, the intensified hydrolysis using microwave was investigated using tow levels of power 400 W and 800 W for 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, and 1 h. The results showed that the highest concentrations of reducing sugars of 8.7291g/L and 5.4814 g/L were obtained with H2SO4 and HCl respectively with the conventional hydrolysis method. On the other side, for microwave hydrolysis, the maximum concentration of reducing sugar of 2.158 g/L was obtained with 0.1% of hydrochloric acid. The results are very promising in hydrolysis method to enhance the efficiency of the use of recycling paper in bioethanol production.

In this work, the efficiency of date palm wastes derived biochar functionalized with Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) in removing phosphorus (P) from aqueous solutions was investigated under static and dynamic conditions. The deep characterization of the functionalized biochar showed that compared to raw biochar, its physico-chemical properties have been significantly improved. This improvement has resulted in a significant enhancement of P recovery from aqueous solutions under a wide experimental conditions of contact time, pH, doses, etc. The maximum adsorption capacity of P was estimated to be about 14.1 and more than 9.0 mg/g in batch and laboratory column modes. These P-loaded-modified biochars can be valorized as eco-friendly amendment for agricultural soils which promotes sustainability and circular economy concepts in the management of both liquid and solid wastes.

The electrochemical properties of LaNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75 alloy used as an anode in nickel-metal hydride batteries were investigated at ambient temperatures. Several techniques, such as the galvanostatic charging and discharging and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were applied to characterize these electrochemical properties. The discharge capacity of the LaNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75 alloy increases to reach 337 mAh g−1 after 6 cycles and decreases to 300 mAh g−1 after 25 cycles then stabilizes around this same value indicating good cycling held.The EIS study shows a clear dependence on cycling especially for the semicircle in the low frequency region. The contribution of this semicircle decreases considerably during cycling: from 117 Ω cm2 for the raw material to 7Ω cm2 after 23 cycles. This reflects a significant change in the extracted values from this region.

Valorization of various Tunisian agricultural wastes via super-critical water gasification (SCWG) for sustainable hydrogen-rich syngas production is stimulated and discussed using AspenOne software. The considered biomass wastes include dates palm residues (DPR), dates palm seed (DPS), olive solid waste (OSW), olive pomace (OP) and pine sawdust (PS). The model results are compared to experimental data from literature for validation. It is found that temperature and biomass feedstock concentration affect considerably the proportion of hydrogen in the producer gases, the hydrogen yield, the hydrogen efficiency (HE), the carbon efficiency (CE) and the gasification efficiency (GE). Olive solid waste, which contains the highest hydrogen percentage of 8.3 wt%, was found to be the most promising biomass. A maximum hydrogen yield of 111.61 mol/kg could be obtained by 1200 K gasifier temperature and 5%wt feedstock.

Concentrated solar thermal (CST) systems require high manufacturing technology and expensive costs which explain their low adoption in developing countries. In a search for more affordable CST, parabolic trough collector with stainless steel sheet (PTC-SS) seems to be a good alternative. In this study, the PTC-SS performance were evaluated using optical and thermal studies. The optical evaluation was carried out by simulating the PTC-SS on Soltrace software and the thermal evaluation was conducted by simulating the PTC-SS receiver on Ansys software. Additionally, the simulation results have been validated by comparing the amount of heat gained by the water between the simulation and the experiment. The results show that the heat gained by the water was approximately 502.6 W. The simulation results were 33.32% higher comparing to experimental data. Finally, further studies to evaluate the PTC-SS overall performance will be carried out.

Oil recovery rates using classical techniques mainly based on injecting water are limited and do not exceed 30%, hence the need to explore alternatives. The present study is a short review concerning the different steps to consider from the laboratory to the real site scales of an enhanced oil recovery using supercritical carbon dioxide. In fact the introduction of this non conventional technique has many advantages, like avoiding the use of huge quantities of water, hence the preservation of this valuable resource, the valorization of CO2 avoiding its release into the atmosphere, hence reducing the climate change problems, important enhanced oil recovery rates up to 80% can be achieved, etc. Consequently this is a challenging matter both from the economic and environmental point of views.

This paper discusses the realization of advanced systems integration that has 540 KVA three-phase bidirectional inverter and 1863.68 kWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) at Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) with a partnership of University of Central Florida (UCF) and A.F. Mensah Inc. The purpose of this paper is to give a case study and an overview of advanced systems integration by providing their test results. It enables the reader to understand what a microgrid is in a real application. After explaining the overview of the system, the real energy consumption, the reduced energy consumption, the battery testing data, the voltage, and current waveforms are demonstrated and analyzed by determining its total harmonic distortion (THD) values and simulating its results in different power management scenarios. The system is now utilized at FSEC without the PV Panels integration. The PV integrated system scenario is explained by providing theoretical and simulation results. As a result, the BESS capacity should be "4 hour" times of the PV panel power, and the THD level is determined 0.07 when 200-kW power is sent to the grid by using high current transforms.
