  text: This study explores the feasibility and potential of integrating dish–Stirling
    systems (DSSs) into multigeneration energy systems, focusing on their ability
    to produce both thermal and electrical energy. By leveraging the concentrated
    solar power capabilities of DSSs, this research examines their performance relative
    to alternative solutions such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar heating.
    A 25 kW Stirling Energy Systems (SES) DSS served as the basis for the analysis.
    Simulations were performed for local 2022 weather conditions in Germany. The study
    employed a detailed modeling approach using the NREL System Advisor Model (SAM)
    to quantify the energy outputs and evaluate the system efficiencies. The results
    indicate that the DSS achieved an electrical efficiency of 25% and a combined
    efficiency of 78% when accounting for the maximum thermal energy generated. Seasonal
    analysis highlights the adaptability to fluctuating energy demands, with advantages
    in winter heating applications. Comparative evaluations revealed DSSs as a viable
    cogeneration alternative to standalone PV systems and solar heaters, offering
    reduced environmental impacts and enhanced energy efficiency. Future work will
    address real-world operational conditions, including thermal storage and multigeneration
    integration, positioning the DSS as a sustainable solution for renewable energy
    generation.

  text: The shift towards sustainable transportation is an urgent worldwide issue,
    leading to the investigation of creative methods to decrease the environmental
    effects of traditional vehicles. Electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising alternative,
    but the issue lies in establishing efficient and environmentally friendly charging
    infrastructure. This review explores the existing research on the subject of photovoltaic-powered
    electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs). Our analysis highlights the potential
    for economic growth and the creation of robust and decentralized energy systems
    by increasing the number of EVCSs. This review summarizes the current knowledge
    in this field and highlights the key factors driving efforts to expand the use
    of PV-powered EVCSs. The findings indicate that MATLAB was predominantly used
    for theoretical studies, with projects focusing on shading parking lots. The energy
    usage varied from 0.139 to 0.295 kWh/km, while the cost of energy ranged from
    USD 0.0032 to 0.5645 per kWh for an on-grid system. The payback period (PBP) values
    are suitable for this application. The average PBP was demonstrated to range from
    1 to 15 years. The findings from this assessment can guide policymakers, researchers,
    and industry stakeholders in shaping future advancements toward a cleaner and
    more sustainable transportation system.

  text: Namibia is the most arid country in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Cuvelai-Etosha
    Basin (CEB) in central northern Namibia in particular is experiencing various
    ecological and social-ecological challenges such as high climate variability,
    saline groundwater, dependence on Angola for freshwater supply, high population
    growth and density, and increasing urbanisation. These challenges make water supply
    and management difficult and threaten the livelihood of the local population and
    the health of the ecosystem. Facing up to these challenges, the German-Namibian
    research project CuveWaters has developed, adapted and set up different technologies
    as pilot plant s. The Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) concept of
    CuveWaters is based on a multi-resource-mix in which water is obtained from different
    sources (rainwater, floodwater, groundwater and wastewater) and used for various
    purposes. High quality water is used as drinking water; water of a relatively
    low quality is used for irrigation. In cooperation with the residents of four
    villages and one small town, the project partners are implementing different technologies
    to collect and store, produce, treat and reuse water. The implemented technologies
    are rain- and floodwater harvesting, groundwater desalination, and the combination
    of sanitation, wastewater treatment and water reuse. The aim is to improve peoples’
    livelihood through research on innovative and adapted solutions which contribute
    to a successful and adapted application of IWRM. To this end, the project integrates
    science, technology and societal aspects in a transdisciplinary research approach
    by linking scientific knowledge from natural, engineering and social sciences
    with the everyday practices and know-how of the stakeholders involved. Thus, the
    technical aspects are complemented by a wide range of societal and scientific
    components, such as capacity development, monitoring, participation or knowledge
    management. These ensure societal embedding of the technologies and knowledge
    transfer. This paper will illustrate the transdisciplinary approach, implemented
    technologies and accompanying measures as well as key results.
