A Novel Hybrid CSP-PV Power Plant Based on Brayton Supercritical CO₂ Thermal Machines

Applied Sciences, 2023
A novel hybrid CSP-PV power plant is presented. Instead of the integration used in current hybrid power plants, where part of the PV production is charged into the thermal energy storage system through electrical resistors, the proposed system integrates

Generational effects in Down syndrome: Enriched environment enhances functionality without reducing Alzheimer's disease risk. [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract INTRODUCTION Down syndrome (DS) is the leading cause of intellectual disability (ID) and a genetic form of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We wanted to assess whether generational changes have induced (1) milder ID with greater independence and (2) delayed AD diagnosis.

Rankine Carnot Batteries with the Integration of Thermal Energy Sources: A Review [PDF]

Energies, 2020
This paper provides an overview of a novel electric energy storage technology. The Thermally Integrated Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage (TI-PTES) stores electric energy as thermal exergy. Compared to standard PTES, TI-PTES takes advantage of both electric and low-temperature heat inputs.
