Literature first proposed the reconfigurable topology of the battery, in which the system reconfiguration could be achieved through five control switches per cell. In the series topology, each battery cell had only two controllable switches, which were used to connect other cells in series or bypass .
As increasement of the clean energy capacity, lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) play a crucial role in addressing the volatility of renewable energy sources. However, the efficient operation of these systems relies on optimized system topology, effective power allocation strategies, and accurate state of charge (SOC) estimation.
First, a new type of BS topology is proposed, which can greatly improve the reliability and economy of the system when single or multiple battery cells fail. Compared with the conventional topology, the maximum number of faulty battery cells that the new topology can bear and the economic gains will increase.
Assuming that there are four clusters of batteries in parallel, when the centralized PCS topology is adopted, BS is connected to the power grid through a PCS, and the system operating reliability is 0.9986.

Using TRNSYS software, the proposed Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC)-based solar heating system paired with the boiler is modelled. Sensible thermal energy storage (TES) system is integrated into the refinery's process heating to handle the intermittent nature of solar energy.
Conclusion The present study investigates the feasibility of solar hybrid system to generate steam in the oil refinery to maintain the temperature of heavy crude oil products before despatching from storage tanks. Due to the intermittent behaviour of solar energy, the solar hybrid system is integrated with a sensible heat storage tank.
Most of the steam is to be used for the atmospheric distillation process, which is one of the most energy-intensive processes of a refinery. Furthermore, the exergy balance is shown in Fig. 12 c, which attests to an exergy efficiency of the plant of 55.5%. The energy efficiency determined from the energy balance is 82.4%.
Other studies in the literature considered coupling solar energy systems to oil refineries to decarbonize their operation. The applicability and feasibility of introducing a concentrated solar power (CSP) system to reduce partial reliance on process heaters of a crude oil refinery was studied by Danish et al. .
Their do exist very few medium scale solar photocatalytic wastewater treatment plants which are environment friendly compared to the existing conventional systems. Treatment of wastewater using solar energy reduces the use of conventional power there by reduces emission of GHG.
Integrating renewable energy sources, biogas, and solar energy could provide up to 88% of the annual energy requirements of WWTPs. Recommendations are provided for further research considering the limited availability of integrated resources for studying the simultaneous utilization of photovoltaic and biogas systems. 1. Introduction
It is foreseeable that the recovery of chemical energy with methane as an intermediate product will remain a key method of energy recovery in municipal wastewater treatment. Among chemical energy conversion pathways, AS + AD and OC + AD can be optimized by co-digestion of municipal organic waste to enhance methane production.
In addition to thermal technologies, decontamination, and disinfection processes are paramount in wastewater treatment. Developing new decontamination and disinfection systems using solar photons must gain significant attention and visibility as a promising solution for achieving effective and sustainable disinfection.
