Ts. Dr. Vincent Woon & Team Publish in Science of the Total Environment
The Research and Postgraduate Centre congratulates Martin Wan Jianyuan, Phuang Zhen Xin, Hoy Zheng Xuan, and Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Vincent Woon Kok Sin from the Department of New Energy Science and Engineering, School of Energy and Chemical Engineering for their recent research article published in the Science of the Total Environment, an SCI Q1 journal with the latest impact factor of 9.8.
This is a collaborative research project with Universiti Teknologi MARA. Martin Wan Jianyuan and Phuang Zhen Xin contributed equally to this research as the first author.
The paper “Forecasting meteorological impacts on the environmental sustainability of a large-scale solar plant via artificial intelligence-based life cycle assessment” proposes a novel integrated Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) framework to forecast the meteorological impacts on large-scale solar electricity generation and its life cycle environmental sustainability. The integrated LCA-ANN framework can evaluate the environmental sustainability of large-scale solar under different meteorological situations, thereby providing data-backed insights and management decisions to large-scale solar stakeholders to drive global RE growth in line with SDG 7 (to ensure access to sustainable energy) and SDG 13 (to take immediate action to combat climate change issue).
