However, most practical thermal storage engineering applications are under complex, unsteady conditions. Therefore, the effect of different arrangements of thermal storage units of low and medium-temperature phase change materials on the thermodynamic performance of the thermal storage system under unsteady conditions is addressed in this paper. This study focuses on the CPCTS device applied in the solar drying system and analyzes the thermodynamic performance of the cascade configuration under unsteady typical days. The results show that the two-dimensional model of the CPCTS is highly accurate when applied to the study of storage and exothermic processes. Under stable conditions, the effects of inlet temperature, flow rate, and melting point on the energy, exergy, and entransy performance of single-stage phase change thermal storage systems were analyzed. It is found that the matching of the phase change material's melting point and the inlet temperature is the core factor determining the heat storage performance. Furthermore, the thermodynamic characteristics of four cascaded configurations are compared under unsteady typical day conditions. Research shows that the CPCTS system has significant performance advantages under complex weather conditions. CPCTS provides up to 39.50% higher thermal storage capacity than a single-stage system, more stable energy quality (exergy efficiency) than a single-stage system under unsteady typical daily operating conditions, and up to 33.82% higher heat transfer capacity (entransy efficiency). The results verify the potential of CPCTS systems in improving heat source adaptability and comprehensive thermodynamic performance. The research results provide a theoretical basis for multi-scale modeling and engineering optimization of CPCTS systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93548,"journal":{"name":"Energy nexus","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100732"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148184294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a novel methodology for measuring the nexus using a Global Change Analysis Model. We used Indonesia to estimate the nexus in countries with abundant coal assets and extensive forest cover, defining it as the additional transition cost or the sum of energy- and land-related transition costs, with and without land-based mitigation measures. Our findings demonstrate that the nexus amounts to USD 558–922 billion (2.8% - 4.6% of GDP) without strict forest protection policies, depending on the availability and potential of mitigation technologies. The nexus becomes larger without land carbon pricing (USD 659–1019 billion or 3.3%-5.1% of GDP). The results indicate that land carbon pricing reduces the total transition cost more economically than strict forest protection policies. However, effective and appropriate implementations of land-based climate mitigation measures remain a challenge.

However, AV might not be suitable for vegetable crops that require accurate pest management since it lacks microclimate control. In proposed work, researchers have developed a new technique for growing capsicum that combines an insect net house and AV. The 1.8 kW AV system has been placed at a height of 3 m to provide optimal tractor movement for various agricultural practices. The total cost of building the AVINH (Agrivoltaic insect net house) structure has been 85,300 ₹ (1 ₹=0.012 USD). For experimental purpose, three distinct land treatments have employed utilizing soil and soilless media to cultivate capsicum (shade tolerant crop) in Gujarat. These treatments involved AVINH with covered roof and open roof with open fields serving as three distinct environmental conditions. Remarkably the land equivalent ratio in an AVINH can reach up to 2.55 indicating a significant increase in resource efficiency.

While the country benefits from abundant renewable resources and a historically hydro-dominated grid, this configuration is increasingly challenged by seasonal water variability, rising curtailments, and the need to phase out fossil-based backup generation. Addressing these challenges requires the deployment of long-duration energy storage technologies that can provide reliability, flexibility, and resilience at the system level.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the first time in the Brazilian context, this study proposes a long-term optimization framework to assess the role of Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) and Hydrogen (H₂) in enabling a cost-effective and sustainable expansion of Brazil’s power system. The framework simultaneously co-optimizes PHS siting—based on a geospatial inventory of 337 potential sites—together with modular H₂ deployment, renewable expansion, and hydrogen exports within a unified objective function. The model spans a 25-year planning horizon (2026–2050) with monthly resolution, explicitly integrating hydrological cycles and water-dependent dispatch, which is crucial for a hydro-dominated system like Brazil’s. It captures renewable expansion, storage deployment, hydrogen exports, and fossil imports. Decision variables include renewable capacity additions, the siting and adoption of PHS plants, and modular deployment of H₂ electrolysis and re-electrification units. The formulation incorporates round-trip efficiencies, investment and operating costs, CO₂ emissions with a carbon price, and penalties for curtailment, thereby ensuring an integrated assessment of technical, economic, and environmental trade-offs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The results highlight distinct but complementary contributions of PHS and H₂. PHS consistently delivers higher round-trip efficiency and cost-effectiveness, confirming its role as a mature and reliable backbone for renewable integration. Hydrogen, in turn, provides strategic systemic flexibility, particularly under high-renewable penetration, enabling surplus absorption and export opportunities. In the optimal configuration (Scenario 7), the model deploys 101 PHS plants and 75 H₂ modules, and the system transitions from a negative net balance in the baseline to a positive economic outcome. While the baseline operates in a net cost position, the optimized configuration not only fully offsets this deficit but also generates additional revenues equivalent to 28 % of the original system costs, underscoring the economic superiority of the PHS–H₂ hybrid solution. Complementarily, the Fossil-Free scenario, which enforces the complete elimination of fossil-based imports in the final five years of the horizon, demonstrates the system’s ability to sustain a fully renewable and storage-backed operation, while maintaining overall system costs reduction within 4 % of the optimal config","PeriodicalId":93548,"journal":{"name":"Energy nexus","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100634"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145977275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the viability of CW-derived plant biomass for biogas production, evaluating how plant species, maturity stages, and storage durations can influence methane yield. Using biomass from a free water surface wetland in Italy, four plant species, e.g., <em>Phragmites australis, Typha latifolia, Carex</em> spp., and <em>Iris pseudacorus</em>, were analyzed through Biomethane Potential (BMP) tests at three storage intervals: i) immediate – t(0), ii) three months after harvesting – t(1), and iii) six months – t(2) after harvesting, respectively. Results indicate that biogas yield peaked at t(1) for all species, with <em>Iris pseudacorus</em> showing consistent performance over time, and low carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratios correlating with higher methane output. While plant maturity and storage significantly affected volatile solids and gas production, not all decreases in solids translated to higher methane yields. These findings indicate that CW biomass holds potential as a renewable feedstock for biogas production, though further optimization and scale-up studies are needed to confirm its practical applicability.
