Solar thermal energy holds great potential in decarbonizing the process industry to achieve net-zero emissions. This study focuses on analyzing optimum integration of latent storage solar heating and cooling for an industrial process, by comparing two configurations. Configuration 1 connects (TES) parallel with collector allowing outlet stream be directed either TES or process. 2 series ensuring that always passes through before reaching The system also includes a rotary Fresnel supplies...
The design of two collectors based on SunDial technology is conducted for distinct case studies: a dairy company situated in Corinth (latitude 37.9°N) and steel located Iasi (47.1°N). discrepancy latitudes necessitates different concept designs, one-axis the former two-axis tracking latter. To develop these collectors, combination models employed, including thermal model receiver, an analytic predicting mirror shape, analytical reducing number optical variables, Monte Carlo Ray Tracing final...
Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) is one of the most promising alternatives to decarbonize industry. The present work aims analyze influence thermal pipelines inertia on a small-scale solar concentrator 20 kW with phase-change material storage. Two dynamic simulations this SHIP system integrated into tube steel factory in Romania were developed Dymola software: them considered and other did not. By comparing simulation results, we have found that pipeline conveyed delays start-up...
In the frame of ASTEP project two prototypes Sundial collector, together with a Phase Change Material Thermal Energy Storage, will be tested integrated industrial processes sites. However, size pilot systems not optimized for commercialization. The present work considers scale-up concept one sites: dairy industry located in Greece, and how thermal losses system must considered increased aperture, storage energy output. For scaling up system, capacities Sundial, demand TES were doubled...
Solar heat for industrial processes (SHIP) is becoming one of the most attractive solutions industry decarbonisation. plants require a complex control system to manage fluctuation their source, solar radiation. One problems this possibility overheating when production greater than consumption. The main objective study was design defocus controller SunDial, rotatory Fresnel collector. A dynamic simulation carried out SHIP with controller. Finally, solution satisfy accuracy needed SunDial presented.
