This review critically examines recent advances in the failure assessment of Type IV vessels, focusing on material behaviors, design considerations, failure modes, and reliability evaluation methods. First, the discussion begins with an overview of hydrogen storage systems, emphasizing the evolution of Type IV vessels and key design factors influencing their failure resistance, including material selection criteria and compliance with regulatory standards. Next, a detailed analysis of failure mechanisms in polymer liners and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites is presented, covering hydrogen permeation effects, mechanical degradation, and temperature-induced damage. The review highlights experimental and numerical techniques for characterizing and modelling these failure behaviors. Furthermore, various reliability assessment approaches-deterministic, uncertainty-based, and surrogate modeling-are evaluated for their effectiveness in predicting the lifespan of composite overwrapped pressure vessels. Despite significant progress, key challenges persist, including the accurate prediction of long-term performance under cyclic loading and extreme conditions. By consolidating key findings and identifying research gaps, this review proposes future directions to improve the safety and durability of Type IV hydrogen storage vessels, facilitating their broader adoption in sustainable energy systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"226 ","pages":"Article 116353"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145216847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key findings reveal that wind and solar resources could supply 77–96 % of generation needs, but achieving net-zero emissions economically will likely require additional “clean firm” technologies such as nuclear, natural gas with carbon capture and storage (NGCCS), biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), geothermal, and hydroelectric power, or the addition of long-duration energy storage to supply energy during extended periods of low renewables output. Our analysis highlights the significant role of expanded transmission infrastructure, flexible demand measures, and the importance of corporate investments in emerging technologies. This review underscores the economic and operational feasibility of achieving net-zero emissions and offers actionable insights for policymakers and researchers.

Using alkaline industrial solid waste for CO₂ mineralization helps to sequester CO₂ and achieve alkaline industrial waste utilization. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the CO₂ mineralization mechanism and application of four typical alkaline industrial solid wastes, including steel slag (SS), fly ash (FA), red mud (RA), and desulfurization gypsum (DG). Alkaline industrial solid waste contains CaO, MgO capable of reacting with CO₂ to form stable carbonate-like compounds. The CO₂ sequestration capacities of SS, RM, FA, and DG are 52–310 g/kg SS, 5–175 g/kg RM, 11–210 g/kg FA, and 53–128 g/kg DG, respectively, depending on its composition and mineralization pathway. The technical applications can be divided into laboratory applications and pilot applications. The former reveals the CO₂ mineralization mechanisms, facilitating the subsequent pilot applications. The mineralized products are primarily utilized as building materials. In addition, the process of CO₂ mineralization by alkaline industrial solid waste faces challenges such as reaction kinetics limitations, low calcium carbonate conversion rates, and harsh reaction conditions. Finally, the mechanisms of enforced mineralization and co-mineralization of multiple alkaline solid wastes, as well as the use of machine learning (ML) to improve the efficiency of life cycle assessment (LCA), are proposed as future research directions.

The lack of structured summaries and statistical analysis could leave research themes unorganized and conclusions fragmented. Therefore, this review systematically summarizes and categorizes the major monitored indicators (dependent variables) and investigated characteristics (independent variables) in previous studies involving BBDB physical model tests. Key patterns and design insights are identified through statistical examination of data from 102 publications, including an optimal wavelength-to-device-length ratio around 2.2, an average efficiency reduction of 32 % under irregular waves, an optimal nozzle ratio clustering near 1.0 % and energy capture behavior that differs from traditional OWCs as wave tank breadth varies.

Despite some variability across tools and concerns, tools remain generally opaque and poorly aligned with scientific expectations. While corporate climate performance systems typically address indirect impacts and industry and size specificities; they rarely use standardized, verified inputs, and transparent, science-based weightings.

Nevertheless, the adoption of Digital Twins for PV systems (PVDTs) is still in its early stages, with limited published research work in this area. This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of 61 peer-reviewed PVDT studies, aiming to map recent research trends, identify gaps, and provide recommendations guided by the review results. The works presented in the reviewed articles were categorized based on predefined review criteria, and were examined against a set of proposed PVDT eligibility criteria, stemming from commonly accepted generalized DT definitions and taxonomies. The review reveals that most reported implementations lack essential features, mainly bidirectional data flows and self-adaptability, with only 3.3 % of papers meeting all the eligibility criteria. Key identified trends include a dominance of data-driven models for power prediction, and limited utilization for life cycle assessments and design optimizations. Based on the review findings, the paper further introduces a general DT taxonomy tailored to PV applications and guided by the identified trends and gaps.
