Hybridization of Parabolic Trough Power Plants with Natural Gas

Energy Procedia, 2014
AbstractHybridization may be an intermediate step on the way to the 100% renewable energy era. In respect of the specific CO2 emissions natural gas has to be preferred compared to hard coal or lignite. Most fossil fuel fired power plants as well as concentrated solar thermal power plants use the water/steam cycle for power generation.

Hydrographic Variability and Sound‐Channel Dynamics in the Nordic Seas: Implications for Predicting Acoustic Arrival Structure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Warm, saline Atlantic waters and fresher Arctic‐origin waters converge in the central Nordic Seas, creating strong mesoscale and submesoscale variability that influences both hydrography and sound propagation. During the Northern Ocean Rapid Surface Evolution 2022 experiment, high‐resolution temperature and salinity measurements were collected

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 9, 5 May 2026.
Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination systems.
