This research proposes a hybrid system consisting of a parabolic trough solar field coupled with a waste incineration facility to produce power and desalinated water in Jordan. To predict the performance of the proposed system, EBSILON Professional (13.02) was used to simulate the entire system and for a more realistic simulation process, a prime s...

... plants, where water is disjointed from brine through evaporation, usually reach and exceed 20 stages. Prior to the first stage, a brine heater driven by hot steam from a steam generator is used to heat the liquid to the first inlet temperature value, as shown in Fig. 3. The higher this temperature is, the more the distillation rate rises, as a larger amount of vapour can be extracted from the saltwater (Thabit et al., ...

... Since WTE is becoming a viable solution for our society, while, Ref. [36] reviewed the definitions of WTE and its theoretical framework, waste-to-energy technologies were reviewed by [37] , and Ref. [2] reviewed the challenges associated with solid waste management toward energy conversion. Ref. [38] proposed a hybrid system comprising a parabolic trough solar field coupled with a WTE plant to produce power (produce 34 MWe) and desalinated water (13,824 m3/d of) in Jordan. ...
According to the Libyan government's newly released strategic plan, renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources would provide 30% of the country's power by 2030. The goal of this research is to shed light on solar energy technologies that may be used to generate clean and sustainable electricity. An energy-economic-environmental study of five Concentration Solar Power (CSP) technologies (parabolic trough, solar dish, linear Fresnel reflector, solar tower, and concentrated PV solar cell) was conducted for 22 selected locations in Libya. The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) was chosen as a reference for identifying which technology would be most suited for each site. The economic estimates include the cost of environmental damage caused by carbon dioxide gas (CO2) emissions from fossil-fuel-powered power plants. This technique allows clean and renewable energy to compete fairly in the global energy market, even in countries that produce oil and subsidize electricity. According to the data, the solar mirror technology in Libya has the lowest LCOE of all the technologies evaluated in this study. The LCOE estimates varied from 0.01 to 0.04 dollars per kWh. The clean energy produced by the solar tower surpassed 100 MW, or about 400.332 GWh. Furthermore, the adoption of clean concentrating solar energy technology avoided the discharge of 4,235 tCO2/year/MWp.
This research presents a hybrid waste–solar power generation and waste disposal system in Luang Prabang, Lao. A waste management problem of 19,546.52 Ton in 2021 is the focus of waste-to-energy (WtE) technology. A 230-kg/h steam sterilization method is used to autoclave hazardous waste combined with a 40-kW drying room to produce type 3 refuse-derived fuel (RDF-3). The hybrid system generates 221.03 kWe of power at a system efficiency of 6.67%. A levelized electricity cost (LEC) of 0.29 USD/kWh and a carbon dioxide emission of 0.156 kg CO2/kWh are achieved to address economic and environmental impacts.
