Abstract:

Currently, 80% of conventional energy is used to fulfill general public's needs andindustries. The depletion of oil and gas reserves and rapid growth in conventional energyconsumption have continuously forced us to discover renewable energy sources, like solar, wind,biomass, and hydropower, to support economic development in the future. Solar energy travels at aspeed of 186,000 miles per second. Only a small part of the radiant energy that the sun emits intospace ever reaches the Earth, but that is more than enough to supply all our energy demand.Indonesia is a tropical country and located in the equator line, so it has an abundant potential ofsolar energy. Most of Indonesian area get enough intensity of solar radiation with the average dailyradiation around 4 kWh/m2. Basically, the solar systems use solar collectors and concentrators forcollecting, storing, and using solar radiation to be applied for the benefit of domestics, commercials,and industrials. Common applications for solar thermal energy used in industry are the SWHs, solardryers, space heating, cooling systems and water desalination.

Abstract:

In light of the global crises that the world suffers from, the renewable energy exploitation is a viable solution to remedy the various energy crises, knowing that renewable energy is a source of environmental credibility, as it does not cause any pollution or any emissions harmful to the environment. Among the most important renewable energy sources, solar energy is the most important type as it can be exploited thermally by adopting various solar collectors, especially solar concentrators. This paper has been devoted to illustrate the types of solar concentrators, namely point-focus concentrators (Heliostat Field Collectors and Parabolic Dish Collectors) and linear concentrators (Linear Fresnel Reflectors and Parabolic Trough Collectors), in an attempt to clarify its principle and its multiple uses domestically and industrially, especially in areas that are characterized by the abundance of its direct solar radiation. The solar concentrator is a solar thermal energy concentration system, because its use reduces the consumption of fossil fuels harmful to the environment and directly contributes to climate change. Solar thermal concentrators are an effective alternative to fossil generators for thermal energy, as they have many important uses such as the solar electricity production of solar electricity in power plants, industrial and domestic water heating, and have many other industrial uses.

Abstract:

Increasing energy prices and shortage of fossil fuels lead to a growing interest in alternative energy sources. In combination with energy storage systems the generation of solar process heat can be provided independent from the weather leading for example to a cost efficient stabilization of power output. For this application latent heat storage units with phase change materials (PCMs) can be designed to store solar process heat within a narrow temperature interval utilizing the high storage density of the different PCMs. This is achieved using the latent heat of melting in the melting / solidification process, or the latent heat of re-crystallization in a solid / solid phase transition. However, this advantage can only be used in technical applications if the heat transfer in the PCM is sufficiently high. As most pure PCMs exhibit a low thermal conductivity (about 1 W/(m•K) or less), methods to improve heat transfer in PCMs have been under investigation for decades. The heat transfer in a PCM can be increased by addition of highly thermal conductive materials. Due to its superior properties - high thermal conductivity, good processability, and chemical inertness - graphite has distinct advantages for this purpose. Depending on the requirements of the respective application, various routes to combine PCM and graphite are used. For example, besides the fabrication of PCM/graphite composite materials, the increase of heat exchanger surface by highly thermal conductive graphite plates is a favorable method for large scale applications, in particular. Effective thermal conductivities up to 30 W/(m•K) have been realized. This paper gives an overview of actual and potential applications of PCM/graphite heat storage systems focusing on storage of solar heat for high temperature applications such as process heat generation and solar thermal power plants.

Abstract:

The paper investigates using a secondary solar concentrator to augment the solar energy density focused by a primary concentrator (a paraboloid dish). The secondary concentrator protects the focal point from cooling by convection from wind, and also would harness all the solar rays reflected by the primary concentrator, resulting in reduced losses due to aberration and other errors in finding the focal point. The intended application is the utilization of solar energy for nonferrous material ablation that could potentially replace or assist industrial lasers

Abstract:

Abstract: Integrated renewable energy systems have numerous advantages and benefits compared to conventional energy systems, such as decentralized energy production, environmental impact reduction, and better energy security. Renewable energy systems can be classified under various categories: solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal, and ocean. The integration of these renewable energy resources can bring sustainable solutions and multiple products. The case studies signify the potential integration options of renewable energy systems including energy storage. Non-conventional renewable energy sources and systems (RESS) including but not limited to biomass, biogas, geothermal etc are increasingly playing an important role for electric power distribution and storage. The idea is to develop a resilient energy infrastructure minimizing the cost of remote power and support green and sustainable development efforts. Smart Grids use digital technologies and IOT solutions to intelligently react and adapt to changes in the Grid. Siemens Accelerator for Grids portfolio is the key to exploit the data in the grid. This allows operators to make grid operation more flexible, cost-efficient, more reliable, maintainable, safer and therefore, feasible.

Abstract:

As the use of photovoltaics becomes more widespread, new technologies for more efficient energy generation, transmission, and distribution based on power electronics converters are being developed. The most common applications are grid-on, energy storage, hybrid, and high voltage gain applications. These applications impose several additional requirements in the design of power converters associated with the solar battery’s maximum power tracking and operation in a wide range of input currents and voltages. The practical realization of such solutions can be implemented on the basis of various topologies, which requires a preliminary application of criteria for assessing their effectiveness. The paper conducts a comparison of different topologies on power converters based on two parameters that describe their cost and power loss for various PV applications. For a straightforward study, these parameters are represented using the gain factor, which allows for an accurate comparison of the efficiency of various types of converters.

Abstract:

The trend to reduce CO2 emissions in cooling processes has made it possible to increase the alternatives for integrating solar energy with thermal equipment whose viability depends on its adaptation to polygeneration schemes. Despite the enormous potential offered by the industry for cooling and heating processes, solar cooling technologies (SCT) have been explored in a limited way in the industrial sector. This work discusses the potential applications of industrial SCTs and classifies hybrid polygeneration schemes based on supplying cold, heat, electricity, and desalination of water; summarizes the leading SCTs, and details the main indicators of polygeneration configurations in terms of reductions on primary energy consumption and payback times. To achieve an energy transition in refrigeration processes, the scenarios with the most significant potential are: the food manufacturing industry (water immersion and crystallization processes), the beverage industry (fermentation and storage processes), and the mining industry (underground air conditioning).

Abstract:

Nanotechnology is widely used for the manufacturing of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. Applications of solar technology are based in two forms; lithium-ion and lead-acid. These cells and batteries have the capacity to store a large amount of energy longer than other ordinary batteries. The mechanism for manufacturing solar cells usually arises from the combinations of layers of single-molecule thick sheets of graphene and molybdenum diselenide. In this fact, one of common example is the fine coating of graphene with zinc oxide nanowires. Solar based cells are incorporated into the modified forms for increasing their synthetic applications. These modified forms are copper indium selenide sulfide quantum dots. Perovskite solar cells are dominating in the scientific community due to their advantages and cheap sources of solar energy. These perovskite solar cells are also composed of different metals and other combinations in order to make them functional for different purposes. The most widely implemented metals are germanium, antimony, titanium and barium. Tin (Sn)-based perovskites allow the movement of ions and electrons and significantly in the surrounding environment. There is also need in the future for valuable and mechanical designing for nanotechnolgy and their usage in industrial and commercial applications.

Abstract:

Environmental protection is deeply rooted in current societies. In this context, searching for new environmentally friendly energy sources is one of the objectives of industrial policies in general, and of the metallurgical industries in particular. One of these energy sources is solar energy, which offers a great potential in high temperature applications, such as those required in metallurgy processes, when properly concentrated. In this paper, we propose the utilization of concentrated solar energy in ironmaking. We have studied the utilization of concentrated solar thermal in the agglomeration of iron ore mixtures and in the obtaining of iron via reduction with carbon (and coke breeze). The results from the experiments show the typical phases of the iron ore sinters and the presence of iron through smelting reduction.

Abstract:

Many industrial processes use hot air as a medium. This is especially relevant for drying. Nowadays, most of them consume fossil energy. This study analyses an innovative facility for direct solar heating of air up to 400 °C. For this aim, a medium-scale solar field of linear Fresnel collectors is proposed to heat ambient air inside it. No other dedicated heat transfer fluid is necessary. A simpler layout avoids costs, hurdles, and risks of heat transfer liquids and the related machinery. A Brayton cycle configuration avoids auxiliary energy consumption for pumping air through the collectors by coupling the solar field with a turbocharger. A mathematical model simulates a system of industrial size along a typical meteorological year. It confirms the feasibility of the proposal and the high potential of helping the energy transition to sustainability.

Abstract:

With approximately 1.2% growth annually, the industrial sector accounts for 54% of the total consumed energy globally. Most of those facilities use fossil fuels to generate their needs. Renewable energies, mainly solar energy, can play a major role in meeting the global policies of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Presently, Hungarian researchers exploit more energy from renewable energies such as solar sources, wind, and biomass. Knowing that reducing the carbon emission level is a general tendency in Hungary. This article presents an extensive analysis of the solar thermal system in the central European climate, especially in Hungary. The scope of this study is the low-to-medium heat generation in industries such as pharmaceutical, pulp & paper textile, food processing and beverages. Through all the applications, the heat is consumed in hot water form. Integrating solar thermal technology in the industrial sector depends mainly on solar radiation, conventional fuel prices, available installation area, and the complexity level of integrating the solar system with the existing process. Furthermore, more challenges show up during the integration of economic difficulties. This article analyses the feasibility of providing industrial hot water for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in different Hungarian counties. The analysis was performed using T*Sol 5.5 software, and metrological data were obtained by MeteoSyn built-in software. Results indicate that the most suitable region for integrating solar thermal energy was Szeged, Szolnok, and Kecskemet, which supplied 54.89%, 54.16%, and 54.03% of the total heat load for the studied case, respectively.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential for energy savings because the laundry industry consumes a lot of energy and water. If the laundry industries are not controlled, it will cause serious environmental and energy problems. The audit activity was divided into three stages. Pre-audit stage, the auditors were divided into groups with clear details of tasks and responsibilities, starting with conducting energy audits on the floor, analyzing statistical data, and process flow. Site audit stage; conduct an audit on the floor from the beginning to the end of the process, then collecting and confirming the statistical data for energy and production. Post-audit stage, complete the audit report that will be submitted or presented to the laundry management, which consists of; audit findings with loss or savings analysis, accompanied by recommendations for further improvement. The results show that there are many savings opportunities, especially by overcoming the energy wasted in the production process. Improvements can be made by overcoming energy waste and controlling energy consumption and production more efficiently, implementing renewable energy technology such as solar dryer and hybrid photovoltaic and thermal (PVT) collector, and then considering industrial revolution 4.0 with IoT and ICT.

Abstract:

AbstractIn the recent years, a lot of research has been carried out in the field of nanofluid based solar collector, leading towards the enhancement of working efficiency even at low atmospheric temperature or at low sunlight levels regions of the world. The present review pertains to the research progress related to the performance execution of solar collector using nanofluid. It is observed that the thermal energy storage system (TES), using solar collector, is a useful device for storing sensible and latent heat in a unit volume. Nanofluid plays an important role in various thermal applications such as heat exchanger, solar power generation, automotive industries, electronic cooling system, etc. The nanoparticles find the use in various industrial applications because of its properties, such as thermal, mechanical, optical and electrical. Most of the investigations carried out earlier on the applications of nanofluid in solar energy are related to their uses in the solar collector and thermal storage system. The parabolic solar collector using nanofluid is still a challenge. This article presents an exhaustive review of thermal storage system using nanofluid based solar collector and a scope of using nanofluid based solar collector for performance enhancement.

Abstract:

This paper analyses the possible applications of medium temperature solar concentration technologies, Compound Parabolic Collector, Linear Fresnel Collector and Parabolic Trough Collector in the Spanish industrial sector. Results of this study allow evaluating whether or not solar technologies are an alternative to conventional sources. This possibility is analyzed energetically, economically and environmentally. Results show that the percentage of solar use is decisive in determining the true thermal energy generation cost. The other essential parameter is the solar field area due to produce economy of scale that reduces investment costs. Fluid temperature has significant influence mainly in Compound Parabolic Collector technology. Results obtained in this paper collect multiple alternatives and allow comparing for different scenarios the suitability to replace conventional energy sources by thermal energy obtained from medium temperature solar concentration technologies from an economic perspective. For instance, for percentage of solar use equal to 100%, the lowest thermal energy generation costs for each technology are 1.3 c€/kWh for Compound Parabolic Collector technology, fluid temperature of 100 °C and industrial process located in Seville, 2.4 c€/kWh for Linear Fresnel Collector technology, fluid temperature of 170 °C and industrial process located in Jaen, 3.3 c€/kWh for technology, fluid temperature of 350 °C and industrial process located in Jaen. These costs are lower than conventional energy sources costs.

Abstract:

A theoretical–experimental annual analysis of a hybrid industrial direct–indirect solar air heating system performance for drying was conducted considering temperatures, useful energy Qu, efficiency η, and solar fraction SF. The direct solar air heating system located in Morelos, México, has flat-plate solar air collectors, and the indirect system has flat-plate solar water collectors, a thermal storage tank, a cross-flow fin, and a tube heat exchanger. A validated TRNSYS program modeled the process; the validation was carried out by comparing each component outlet temperature and useful energy with the respective experimental field data. The analysis considered annual usage over seven days a week, nine hours a day (from 09:00 to 18:00 h), and three operation modes. For the direct, indirect, and hybrid operation modes, the Qu values were 31.60, 55.19, and 75.18 MWh/yr; the annual η values were 0.44, 0.41, and 0.42; and the annual SF values were 0.45, and 0.73 for the indirect and hybrid mode, respectively. The hybridization of the direct–indirect solar air heating system increased annual performance by up to 58% in Qu and 42% in SF. The parametric analysis showed that a characteristic working nomogram of the hybrid system could be achieved, correlating the useful energy, efficiency, solar fraction, and operation temperature at a specified mass flow rate, and working temperature.

Abstract:

A clear and direct guide for the design of a solar heating system is presented herein, focused on industrial applications. This guide focuses on the design of solar water heating systems for nonresidential applications. The importance of considering climatic conditions throughout the year is highlighted herein, along with reliable solar radiation data. Solar heating water systems are essential for the diversification of the Brazilian energy matrix and rationalization of the energy resources available. The system is initially dimensioned without the consideration of losses. Then, the required procedure to calculate thermal losses is described, and it is verified that the main losses occur in solar collectors and storage. After careful consideration of the hot water consumption profile and the results obtained in the calculation of the main thermal losses, the storage volume was doubled to guarantee the satisfaction of energy demands.

Abstract:

Concentrating solar power is a family of solar energy technologies that have been used for decades to produce power. These technologies have a unique advantage, which is the ability to store thermal energy for prolonged periods of time such that stable and dispatchable energy can be provided to the electricity grid. However, concentrating solar power has been recently losing market share to photovoltaic technology due to the former’s significantly higher initial cost. There are many efforts worldwide to develop innovative solutions that reduce the cost and/or increase efficiency of concentrating solar power systems. However, concentrating solar thermal energy already has great promising area of application that is still largely unexplored, and that is high-temperature industrial process heat. This study attempts to make the case for using concentrating solar thermal energy in process heat applications by examining the economic feasibility (represented by the levelized cost of energy) for three scenarios of deployment, where the temperature levels are 400°C, 550°C, and 700°C, respectively. The first scenario uses parabolic trough collectors, while the second uses a central receiver system, both with 12 hours of molten salt storage. The third scenario uses a central receiver system that employs the innovative falling particle receiver concept to push the operating limit to 700°C, and silica sand is used to store thermal energy for 12 hours. The location chosen for this analysis is Alice Springs, Australia, due to its high direct normal irradiance and the presence of mining industries in its vicinity. The analysis shows that all three scenarios have a lower levelized cost of energy when compared to natural gas. To further confirm these findings, the analysis needs to be extended to other locations to account for different solar resources and different economic constraints.

Abstract Now-a-days Usage of Multilevel Inverters application is very wide in the industrial applications. Keeping in view of industrial applications, a multi-level inverter with a solar PV array is designed in this paper to deliver power to the Alternating Current based load. A step-up converter is used at the input side of the three-phase multilevel inverter, which delivers the energy for the three-phase load, to regulate the output voltage of the solar Photovoltaic panel. The multilevel inverter utilizes 9 switching devices with five level sources in accordance to the usage of the level of sources in recent topologies. However, the advantage of this topology is that it uses fewer semiconductor switches than current topologies. Eventually, the paper includes the results of the modelling in the MATLAB and the experimental implementation of the proposed topology.

Abstract:

A photovoltaic cell produces electrical energy directly from visible light. However, their efficiency is fairly low. So, the solar cell costs expensive as compared to other energy resources products. Various factors affect solar cell efficiency. This paper presents the most important factors that affecting efficiency of solar cells. These effectsare cell temperature, MPPT (maximum power point tracking) and energy conversion efficiency. The changing of these factors improves solar cell efficiency for more reliable applications. There is a large energy demand due to industrial development and population growth especially in India. The main challenge in replacing conventional energy sources with newer and more environmentally friendly alternatives, such as solar and wind energy, is how to capture the maximum energy and deliver the maximum power at a minimum cost for a given load. The output power of photovoltaic cells or solar panels has nonlinear characteristics and these are also affected by temperature, light intensity and load.

With the awareness of using clean and sustainable energy, the utilization of solar power is of great importance in human society. Following the trend, solar cells are required to have higher and higher power conversion efficiency. Contemporarily, perovskite materials, as a new type of materials for construction of solar cells, exhibits great potential to have high efficiency. This article focuses on the methods on improving power conversion efficiencies of perovskite solar cells and discusses the limitation of recent technologies and industrial applications, and the future prospect of perovskite solar cells. To be specific, all the methods are focusing on the selection of materials suitable for cells design, from CsSnI3 to lead-based organic materials, the efficiencies have increased significantly. The method of stacking perovskite solar cells to make tandem solar cells improved efficiencies among all the methods. Meanwhile, the toxicity, low stability and difficulties in large-scale application are the main limitations for perovskite solar cells. For the future studies, it is important to search for materials with low toxicity and high stability. The technology for improving efficiency of large-scale solar cells is also required.

Abstract:

Over the last few years, countries such as Brazil, the United States, Germany, and China have been receiving significant investments to advance the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, biomass and wind. This has been due to the growing demand for electricity due to population increase and the evolution of industrial activities. Solar energy can be enjoyed by using solar concentrators that are commonly used in solar thermal systems where the working fluid reaches higher temperatures than can be obtained from other collectors. These concentrators are responsible for providing the thermal energy supply. This research analyzed the energy influence of Parabolic Solar Concentrator technology aided by a solar tracking system, taking into account its energy balance and thermal efficiency calculation. The concentrator had an optical efficiency of 81 % and was able to achieve average thermal efficiency values between 21.8 % and 24.7 % under maximum solar radiation conditions between 900 W/m² and 990 W/m². The temperature of the absorber tube used to receive the concentration of sunlight reached temperatures between 80 °C and 98.6 °C, allowing the system working fluid a temperature to reach values above 100 °C. These results show the ability of this type of solar collector to provide power for thermal applications such as heating water for industrial or domestic processes, food dehydration, and drying, refrigeration, thermal desalination and microgeneration of electricity. Besides, the thermal efficiency (between 21.8 % and 24.7 %) was satisfactory when considering the type of concentrator, which also validates the electronic tracking system as it was able to track the relative movement of the sun and favor the increase of thermal efficiency of the system.
