But PV generation is highly volatile and hence achieving supply-demand balance is challenging. Robust forecasting models will help PV integration and penetration into the grid, making sure that there is an adequate supply to match the demand, ensuring reliability and stability of power systems. In this paper, a deep learning model is developed for PV generation multistep forecasting using a small subset of weather variables with a 15-minute resolution, with very low computation time. The forecasts very closely align with the actual generation, with a Normalized Mean Absolute Error (nMAE) of 0.04, much less than 1 kWh in terms of error in forecast generation.

The model can be used in urban environments for short term forecasting.

The estimated production amounts to about 1.8 million kg and the LCOH is calculated to be 3.60 €/kg in the base scenario. Analyses of the alternative scenarios allow us to observe that with a high probability the value ranges between 3.20–4.00 €/kg and that the capacity factor is the factor that most affects the economic results. Social analysis, conducted through an online survey, shows a strong knowledge gap as only 27.5 % claim to know the difference between green and grey hydrogen.

This novel technology is positively impacting various industries, including automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and now the construction industry as well. The present study aims to investigate the ecological impacts of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) by conducting a comprehensive literature review of the published articles that focused on the life cycle assessment of 3DCP-processed units. The objective was to identify current trends, areas of study that require further attention, and opportunities to lower energy consumption and environmental impacts. The literature review found that 3DCP associates with a significant reduction in global warming potential when compared to traditional construction using ordinary Portland cement-based concrete. From the life cycle analysis for 3D printed concrete performed in some articles, this review has identified opportunities to enhance the durability of 3DCP by using non-traditional materials.
