Abstract

This research investigates the environmental sustainability of three integrated power cycles: combined geothermal-wind, combined solar-geothermal, and combined solar-wind, using perovskite solar cells. The study evaluates 17 scenarios focusing on improving efficiency and lifespan. Combined solar-wind had the lowest ozone depletion impact, while combined geothermal-wind had the lowest ecotoxicity impacts. Extending the perovskite solar cell lifespan reduces CO2 emissions significantly. The most sustainable cases varied across impact categories. The research suggests investing in a mix of integrated power cycles for maximum environmental sustainability.
