Perspectives for solar thermal applications in Taiwan
Energy Policy, 2016Co-Authors: Keh Chin Chang, Tzong Shyng Leu, Wei Min Lin, Kung Ming ChungAbstract:Taiwan has long depended on imported fossil energy. The government is thus actively promoting the use of renewable energy. Since 2000, domestic installations of solar water heaters have increased substantially because of the long-term subsidies provided for such systems. However, data on the annual installation area of solar collectors in recent years indicated that the solar thermal industry in Taiwan has reached a bottleneck. The long-term policy providing subsidies must thus be revised. It is proposed that future thermal applications in Taiwan should focus on building-integrated solar thermal, photovoltaic/thermal, and Industrial Heating processes. Regarding building-integrated solar thermal systems, the current subsidy model can be continued (according to area of solar collectors); nevertheless, the application of photovoltaic/thermal and Industrial Heating systems must be determined according to the thermal output of such systems.

Energy and exergy analyses of an integrated solar heat pump system
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2014Co-Authors: F. Suleman, Ibrahim Dincer, Martin Agelin-chaabAbstract:An integrated solar and heat pump based system for Industrial Heating is developed in this study. The system comprises heat pump cycle for process Heating water and solar energy for another Industrial Heating process. Comprehensive energy and exergy analyses are performed on the system. These analyses generated some compelling results as expected because of the use of green and environmentally friendly energy sources. The results show that the energy efficiency of the process is 58% while the exergy efficiency is 75%. Energetic COP of the heat pump cycle is 3.54 whereas the exergy efficiency is 42.5%. Moreover, the energetic COP of the system is 2.97 and the exergy efficiency of the system is 35.7%. In the parametric study, a different variation such as changing the temperature and pressure of the condenser also shows positive results.

Production, upgradation and utilization of solar assisted pyrolysis fuels from biomass – A technical review
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2018Co-Authors: Venkateswarlu ChintalaAbstract:Abstract This paper documents the production, upgradation and utilization aspects of solar driven pyrolysis products namely bio-oil, biochar, and pyrolytic gas. Scattered literature information on solar thermochemical pyrolysis of different kinds of biomass reviewed holistically and consolidated for a proper insight to enhance the utilization of pyrolysis products in various applications. The major influencing parameters for better yield of pyrolysis products are identified as reaction temperature, Heating rate, biomass particle size, reaction catalyst and type of biomass. All the three products (bio-oil, biochar, and pyrolytic gas) could be employed as fuel candidates in various sectors including transportation and Industrial Heating appliances. It is emerged from the study that the biomass-derived bio-oil must be upgraded for its use in compression ignition (CI) engines. However, the raw bio-oil could directly be used in Industrial Heating appliances such as furnaces and steam generators. A comprehensive insight is provided with comparative assessment of performance and emission characteristics of pyrolysed bio-oil fueled CI engines in order to address the research challenges and employ the engine's efficiency enhancement technologies in near future.
