A comprehensive 3D steady-state model was developed employing the finite volume method, incorporating the standard k-ε turbulence model and Boussinesq approximation for buoyancy effects. The system features an innovative design with 16 triangular-profile cooling tubes beneath the PV panel to maximize heat transfer efficiency. Numerical simulations solved the governing equations for mass, momentum, and energy conservation under realistic Algerian climatic conditions, with validation against experimental data showing excellent agreement. Results demonstrate that increasing nanoparticle concentration significantly improves system performance, with the 0.5 % nanofluid achieving maximum electrical (15.56 %) and total thermal (75.60 %) efficiencies, representing improvements of 4.2 and 42.3 % respectively over conventional water cooling. The constant-flow nanofluid circulation maintained stable cooling performance while enhancing thermal energy recovery, with outlet temperatures increasing by 3.77 K at peak irradiance.

As an innovative Carbon Dioxide Removal method, Direct Air Capture is essential to achieving net-zero per the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, it is highly energy-intensive compared to alternative carbon removal methods, posing challenges for global decarbonisation and energy demand. Limited energy system integration analysis exists for Direct Air Capture, which is crucial to ensure efficient resource allocation in an already-constrained system. This energy intensive technology requires power, heat, and carbon dioxide storage, and the availabilities of such resources in the transforming energy system are limited. In this study, we analyse energy availability for Direct Air Capture in a low-carbon future energy system. We hypothesise that by clustering Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage installations with low-temperature waste heat from industrial and nuclear power sources, system losses are reduced, minimising energy demand and operational expenses versus a fully electrified solution. This research bridges the gap between development and implementation of waste heat Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage by calculating available low-temperature waste heat and applying spatial resource analysis of waste-heat clusters and transport to geological carbon storage sites, based on a United Kingdom case study.

Then, a real-time operation strategy of the PtHE plant is proposed to coordinate electrical and thermal energy for efficient conversion, where model predictive control (MPC) is adapted to determine the allocation of fluctuating power in real-time by solving the MILP optimization problem. Besides, a power hardware-in-loop (PHIL) platform is built to implement the proposed strategy, which includes an industrial alkaline PtHE plant and a real-time simulator. Through the experiment, the control execution of this platform is validated, and the parameters of the alkaline PtHE model are obtained. This strategy is applied to the PtHE plant in the PHIL platform and compared with the myopic policy to demonstrate the advantage: the total hydrogen production increases by 9% with no power curtailment of RES by the temperature management in advance using MPC. Further, a simulation on a high-capacity PtHE plant, up to MW scale, shows a 5% improvement in the total hydrogen production under the proposed strategy, compared with a commercial solution using programmable logic control (PLC).
