Abstract:
This paper is mainly about the use of solar energy in life to make a summary, and how to improve the utilization of these aspects to make suggestions. Sunlight transmits electricity to the earth all the time. If the total radiation power from sunlight to the earth is converted into power generation power, it can reach 1.77× kW, which is several hundred million times larger than the current global per capita consumption of electricity. There are not only a lot of sunlight, but also all green energy sources from sunlight, such as wind energy, tidal energy, microbial energy, hydraulic energy, etc., all belong to renewable energy sources. As long as there is sunlight, renewable energy sources are as constant as sunlight. In the process of the efficient development and utilization of solar energy, the photovoltaic utilization of nuclear energy has become the fastest progress around the whole world in recent years, the most vitality of the scientific research field.

Abstract:
Taking the UK as a case study, this paper describes current energy use and a range of sustainable energy options for the future, including solar power and other renewables. I focus on the area involved in collecting, converting and delivering sustainable energy, looking in particular detail at the potential role of solar power. Britain consumes energy at a rate of about 5000 watts per person, and its population density is about 250 people per square kilometre. If we multiply the per capita energy consumption by the population density, then we obtain the average primary energy consumption per unit area, which for the UK is 1.25 watts per square metre. This areal power density is uncomfortably similar to the average power density that could be supplied by many renewables: the gravitational potential energy of rainfall in the Scottish highlands has a raw power per unit area of roughly 0.24 watts per square metre; energy crops in Europe deliver about 0.5 watts per square metre; wind farms deliver roughly 2.5 watts per square metre; solar photovoltaic farms in Bavaria, Germany, and Vermont, USA, deliver 4 watts per square metre; in sunnier locations, solar photovoltaic farms can deliver 10 watts per square metre; concentrating solar power stations in deserts might deliver 20 watts per square metre. In a decarbonized world that is renewable-powered, the land area required to maintain today's British energy consumption would have to be similar to the area of Britain. Several other high-density, high-consuming countries are in the same boat as Britain, and many other countries are rushing to join us. Decarbonizing such countries will only be possible through some combination of the following options: the embracing of country-sized renewable power-generation facilities; large-scale energy imports from country-sized renewable facilities in other countries; population reduction; radical efficiency improvements and lifestyle changes; and the growth of non-renewable low-carbon sources, namely ‘clean’ coal, ‘clean’ gas and nuclear power. If solar is to play a large role in the future energy system, then we need new methods for energy storage; very-large-scale solar either would need to be combined with electricity stores or it would need to serve a large flexible demand for energy that effectively stores useful energy in the form of chemicals, heat, or cold.

Abstract:
<abstract> <p>This review is inspired by the increasing shortage of fresh water in areas of the world, and is written in response to the expanding demand for sustainable technologies due to the prevailing crisis of depleting natural water resources. It focuses on comprehending different solar energy-based technologies. Since the increasing population has resulted in the rising demand for freshwater, desalination installation volume is rapidly increasing globally. Conventional ways of desalination technologies involve the use of fossil fuels to extract thermal energy which imparts adverse impacts on the environment. To lessen the carbon footprint left by energy-intensive desalination processes, the emphasis has shifted to using renewable energy sources to drive desalination systems. The growing interest in combining solar energy with desalination with an emphasis on increasing energy efficiency has been sparked by the rapid advancements in solar energy technology, particularly solar thermal. This review paper aims to reflect various developments in solar thermal desalination technologies and presents prospects of solar energy-based desalination techniques. This paper reviews direct and indirect desalination techniques coupled with solar energy, and goes on to explain recent trends in technologies. This review also summarizes the emerging trends in the field of solar thermal desalination technologies. The use of nanoparticles and photo-thermal materials for localized heating in solar desalination systems has decreased energy consumption and enhanced the efficiency of the system. Solar power combined with emerging processes like membrane distillation (MD) has also a recent resurgence.</p> </abstract>

Abstract:
<abstract> <p>Transformation of salty seawater into fresh water by the aid of solar energy is one of the solutions for overcoming the lack of these waters with an eco-friendly procedure. The use of solar stills is one of the solutions that use solar energy with a simple design to produce fresh water in small to moderate amounts. Hemispherical solar stills are one kind of still design that does not require a particle rotational orientation, and they have proved to be more efficient than traditional designs. Solar stills generally possess a low thermal efficiency, with limitations of working hours, i.e., only daytime. To overcome these problems, rocks placed in the saline water basin are used as heat storage materials to increase the working period of the design. In the present work, different amounts of river rocks are utilized to study the effect of this addition experimentally. Steady state tests are conducted to study the influence of these additive rocks on the enhancement of solar energy absorption, since increased working time is assured by published research. Two volumes of rocks (300 mL and 600 mL) were tested, and both increased water productivity, by 52% and 58%, respectively. The increases are explained by the increases in solar energy absorption, since steady state cases were used.</p> </abstract>

Abstract:
The paper deals with the “solar energy”, one of the areas of green energy in detail. In the modern world, the solar energy is considered the most perspective source of alternative energy with a great potential. The solar technologies turn the sun rays into the power energy via the photovoltaic (PV) panels or the mirrors accumulating solar radiation. The solar panels are used to obtain the power from solar energy while solar collectors are used for the heat and hot water supply. Solar panels are the devices developed from the light-sensitive semiconductor materials and turning solar energy into the power through the photoelements consisting of several layers in a general frame. Moreover, the movement of power energy depends on how high the light intensity is. The solar energy is produced via the the solar panels as the direct current (DC), and subsequently, power transisters – inventors turning this energy into the alternating current (AC) are used to integrate it to the network. In addition, the author marks that Azerbaijan has high potential of solar energy, as well as the projects implemented in this sphere by the State. The stations in the balance of the “Azalternativeenergy” LTD under the State Renewable Energy Sources Agency – Wind Power Station under Gobustan Hybrid Power Station, Solar and Biogas Power Stations are operated conjointly. Surakhany, Pirallahy, Sahil, Samukh, Sumgayit Solar Power Stations are described in detail. At the same time, it is noted that solar generation devices with small power have been installed by “Azalternativeenergy” LTD in thirteen social facilities, through which power supply and seasonal heat supply in nineteen social facilities are carried out as well.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech(Chemical engineering))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2000
The demand for pool heating has increased dramatically over the last few years. This is ascribed to the idea that a swimming pool is expensive and can only be used for four months of the year. Therefore, a need for a relatively inexpensive solar heating system, capable of heating pool water to comfortable temperatures for an extended period, does exist. The least expensive solar heating system for swimming pool heating on the market in South Africa is in the order of R 11000. This is a fixed system, usually mounted on the roof of a house. In order to ensure the safety of minors, a safety net or sail must be installed. This is an additional cost, which approximates R1500, yielding a total cost for safety and heating in the order of R 12500. Copper pipes packed in black material are utilised in these conventional heating systems, and it is the cost of this good heat conductor that makes these units expensive. In this study an alternative pool heating system constructed of PVC was investigated. The system is designed to be flexible, mobile, act as a safety mechanism and absorbs the maximum amount of solar energy available. Dark blue material as opposed to black PVC was selected for aesthetic reasons at the expense of maximum efficiency. The material strength was tested as well as the strength of adhesion. The influence of factors such as exposure to the sun and the effect of water containing chlorine and acid on the material were evaluated. Also, various means of channelling the water through the system for increased efficiency was investigated. A pilot model was constructed and its performance evaluated. It has been concluded that the alternative approach provides effective heating at a lower cost than current systems. Also, the durability of the design was found to be acceptable.

Abstract:

Almost all the domestic water in Brazil is heated with an electrical heater directly by the end consumer. A typical heater has an effect of 5 400 W and when the whole population takes a shower in the evening it causes big peaks in the electrical grid. This consumption peaks could be reduced by simple and cheap solar collector system.

Different system technologies and the most important parts of a solar collector system are described in the technical background. In Lajeado almost every system is a self-circulated system because of the simplicity and the lower costs.

Solar cooling as an alternative to the vapor compressor chillers has been studied. The cooling demand is biggest when the sun shines; this makes the sun perfect as a source to cooling. The ab- and adsorption chillers as a method in the future have been discussed in this paper; however it has only been studied briefly because small scale chillers using the technology can not be found on the market yet.

A number of different systems have been dimensioned after the existing conditions of Lajeado, the town where the project has been carried out in. Prizes and costs for both installation and materials come from the local solar collector supplier. With this as a background; several systems for various hot water demands has been dimensioned and costs and repayment time been calculated. A study of all the systems shows that, if the hot water demand increases and the systems get bigger, the profitability grows and the repayment time becomes shorter, down to three years. In almost every case the repayment time was under eight years, which makes solar heating attractive and the profit is good for the southern Brazil.

Abstract:
Energy storage systems is very useful to use in solar panel systems to save money, but also tobe more environment-friendly. The project was given by the solar energy companyPerpetuum Automobile (PPAM) and the project is for their customer, the condominiumcompound Ekoxen. The task is to make a energy regulation for Ekoxen's energy storage sothey can save more money. The energy storage primary task is to shave the top-peaks of theconsumption for Ekoxen. Which means that the battery will supply the household instead forthe three-phase grid. This will make the electric bill for Ekoxen cheaper. Thesimulation/analysis of the energy regulation is done in a spreadsheet tool, where one partworks as a Time-of-Use program and the other work as a modbus feature. Time-of-Use is aweb-based program for PV systems with battery storage, where time-periods can be set toaffect the battery behavior. The modbus feature simulates a system where an algorithm can beimplemented. The results will show that the time-periods for charging the battery with theTime-of-Use program needs to be changed two times per year. One time for the summermonths and a second time for the rest of the months. The results will also show that themodbus feature is better on peak shaving than the time-of-use program.

Abstract:
From a comparison of available thermal energy storage (TES) technologies it can be concluded that the most mature and suitable storage methods for modern commercial buildings in Sweden are storage tanks, either for heat or cold energy, and underground storage solutions such as borehole thermal energy storage (BTES), aquifer storage and energy piles. In this study an integrated solar energy storage system for heating purpose has been designed with BTES, hot water storage tank(s) and solar thermal collectors. The system has been constructed for three different reference buildings in Stockholm and Malmö using the simulation software Polysun, as to investigate the optimal size of BTES system from an economical and energy perspective. The results showed that the optimal storage dimension for the three reference buildings from an economic perspective for a BTES system was 50 % of a building’s peak power demand for heating and tap warm water. The specific energy demand could be lowered significantly for all three buildings, even if applying a weighting factor on the electricity used for the heat pumps. The investment return in the integrated energy storage system turned out to be positive in most cases; however the net present value (NPV) was negative for some of the storage dimensions in the sensitivity analysis. The conclusion from the study is that BTES systems have potential to increase the use of solar energy in modern commercial buildings in a cost effective way, making it easier to reach the future goals of near zero energy buildings (NZEB).

Abstract:
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems play a crucial part in the success of concentrated solar power as a reliable thermal energy source. The economics and operational effectiveness of TES systems are the subjects of continuous research for improvement, in order to lower the localized cost of energy (LCOE). This study investigates the use of spherical tanks and their role in sensible heat storage in liquids. In the two tank system, typical cylindrical tanks were replaced by spherical tanks of the same volume and subjected to heat loss, stress analysis, and complete tank cost evaluation. The comparison revealed that replacing cylindrical tanks by spherical tanks in two tank molten salt storage systems could result in a 30% reduction in heat loss from the wall, with a comparable reduction in total cost. For a one tank system (or thermocline system), a parametric computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study was performed in order to obtain fluid flow parameters that govern the formation and maintenance of a thermocline in a spherical tank. The parametric study involved the following dimensionless numbers: Re (500-7500), Ar (0.5-10), Fr (0.5-3), and Ri (1-100). The results showed that within the examined range of flow characteristics, the inlet Fr number is the most influential parameter in spherical tank thermocline formation and maintenance, and the largest tank thermal efficiency in a spherical tank is achieved at Fr = 0.5. Experimental results were obtained to validate the CFD model used in the parametric study. For the flow parameters within the current model, the use of an eddy viscosity turbulence model with variable turbulence intensity delivered the best agreement with experimental results. Overall, the experimental study using a spherical one tank setup validated the results of the CFD model with acceptable accuracy.

Salonvaara, Mikael, and André Desjarlais. The impact of the solar absorption coefficient of roof and wall surfaces on energy use and peak demand. Department of the Built Environment, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.54337/aau541650886.

Full text
Abstract:
Climate change, electrification to decarbonize the building sector, and the rise of renewable energy sources have made reducing the peak demand even more important than solely reducing the overall energy use. Solar radiation can have a significant impact on the energy use of buildings. However, previous studies on solar absorption in building envelopes have focused on cool roofs. Less effort has been made to evaluate the impact of solar radiation on heat loss and gain on walls. This paper summarizes a preliminary study to estimate the magnitude of the benefit low solar absorptance surfaces have on reducing peak demand and focuses on simulating a residential building with two types of U.S. code-compliant wall structures, a standard lightweight wall assembly, and a thermally massive mass timber wall, to evaluate the impact of the solar absorption coefficient of the surfaces on the heating and cooling energy use and peak demand. This effort aimed to identify whether a more comprehensive study should be undertaken to develop further the calculation tools previously developed for estimating the energy benefits for roofing systems in the U.S. by adding a similar tool for wall assemblies. Reducing the solar absorption coefficient from 0.9 to 0.3 resulted in up to 46% lower cooling demand and a 70% increase in heating demand depending on the climate. Peak demand reductions for heating and cooling energy were similar to the reduction in heating or cooling energy use. However, the annual energy use changed up to only 12% as lowering the solar absorption coefficient reduces cooling demand but increases heating demand. Whether the total impact overall is harmful or beneficial depends on the climate and type of structure. Additionally, a cool roof calculator was used to estimate the impact of solar radiation on roofs. The learning from this study is that the exterior color and the solar absorption coefficient should be chosen based on the climate to positively impact the energy use profile and peak demand.

Abstract:
Planning for sustainable neighborhoods is a high priority for many cities. It is therefore important to take the right decisions during the planning phase to ensure that important aspects are considered. One of these important aspects is to consider the harvesting of solar energy in the best possible way. It is however difficult to define the best ways to exploit the incoming solar energy. Solar energy can be used by means of active solar energy production, passively by means of daylighting buildings or outside buildings on the ground for direct solar access or thermal comfort. This different usage can sometimes be conflicting (for example at a building level, in order to maximize the photovoltaic production, it may be necessary to use all the surfaces, therefore preventing the access to daylight). The access to daylight in the street is appreciated during cold days, but shading is preferred during the hotter days.
