This paper involves discussion of newly developed cooling methods such as cooling by nanofluids, heat sink by thermoelectric modules and radiative cooling methods which are very efficient for cooling. . to increase the performance of PV panels. Passive and active PV materials (PCMs) and nanofluids as working agents. A review analysis showed that water cooling is better than air cooling. Fossil fuels are most polluting and dangerous energy sources, so the world is focusing its. . Passive methods such as radiative cooling and phase change materials reduce PV temperature by up to 20 °C, improving electrical efficiency by 15. 2%. . To improve photovoltaic (PV) panels' efficiency, one of the ways to do so is to maintain the correct working temperature for maximum yield of energy.

Steam expansion and high-speed rotation generate significant heat, and efficient cooling methods, such as internal or external cooling channels within the rotor, are employed to prevent overheating and ensure the longevity of turbine components. . GE Vernova offers an innovative forced-air cooling system for GE Vernova and non-GE Vernova turbines, able to improve availability of the unit by reducing the outage duration. Based on a broad experience on Industrial Steam Turbines (ISTs), GE Vernova offers a standardized solution for. . Rotor air coolers (RACs) are installed in most 501F- and G-class combined cycles to reduce the temperature of compressor discharge air used for rotor cooling. They can be air-to-air heat exchangers (fin-fan coolers) or water can be used as the cooling medium (Fig 1). Its design and operation are crucial for maintaining efficient and stable power generation. Rotor issues can lead. . The steam turbine rotor stands at the heart of power generation, representing the rotating element responsible for converting steam energy into mechanical work.
