solar Process Heat in industrial systems a global review
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2018Co-Authors: Shahjadi Hisan Farjana, Nazmul Huda, Rahman Saidur, M Parvez A MahmudAbstract:In developing countries, industries and manufacturing sectors consume a major portion of the total consumption of energy, where most of the energy is used for low, medium or high temperature Heat generation to be used for Process applications known as Process Heat. The necessity to commercialize clean, cheap and efficient renewable sources of energy in industrial applications emerges from increasing concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and global warming and decreasing fossil fuel use in commercial sectors. As an abundant source of energy, solar energy technologies have proven potential. Recent research shows currently only a few industries are employing solar energy in industrial Processes to generate Process Heat while replacing fossil fuels. Solar thermal power generation is already very well-known and getting popular in recent years while other potential applications of the concentrated Heat from solar radiation are little explored. This review paper presents a detailed overview of the current potential and future aspects of involving solar industrial Process Heating systems in industrial applications. In order to keep pace with this emerging and fast growing sector for renewable energy applications, it is necessary to get in depth knowledge about the overall potential of industrial Processes in individual industrial sector where solar Process Heat is currently in use and identifying industrial Processes are most compatible for solar system integration depending on temperature level and the type of solar collector in use. Furthermore, the promising sectors needs to be identified for the use of solar Heat using industrial Processes for the integration of solar Heat, so that countries with immense solar energy potential can use those technologies in future to reduce fossil fuel consumption and develop sustainable industrial systems. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the potential industrial Processes that can adopt solar Process Heating systems and thus driving towards sustainable production in industries.

Stationary booster reflectors for solar thermal Process Heat generation
2020Co-Authors: Stefan HessAbstract:The performance of a flat-plate collector with glass-foil double cover (LBM 4 GF) is compared to that of the same collector with a one-sided external CPC booster reflector (RefleC-collector) for Process Heat generation up to 150 °C. Efficiency curve measurements of both collector variants are reported. Reference is made to simulation results of the annual energy gain of both variants in Wurzburg, Germany and Seville, Spain, at inlet temperatures of 40 °C and 120 °C. In these simulations, a novel collector simulation model accounting for the anisotropy of diffuse irradiance was used. Compared to state-of-the-art simulations the new model calculates significantly higher additional gains of the reflectors. Both collector types were installed at a pilot plant in a Laundry in Marburg, Germany. Monitoring results of one reference year for the overall system performance as well as for the additional gains by the booster reflectors are given. It is shown that the stationary booster reflectors highly increase the efficient operation temperature range and also the annual energy gain of the double covered flat-plates. Finally, a simplified economic assessment is carried out. Based on the additional gains by the boosters, the marginal costs for an investment into booster reflectors are assessed. It is estimated that the costs of installed RefleC boosters should be below ca. 30 EUR/m² in Wurzburg and 55 EUR/m² in Seville for the technology to enter the solar Process Heat market.

3 - Solar thermal Process Heat (SPH) generation
Renewable Heating and Cooling, 2016Co-Authors: Stefan HessAbstract:Abstract Compared to domestic solar water Heating, solar thermal Process Heat (SPH) generation is still a very small market with only a few hundred installations registered worldwide. A wide variety of collector technologies and system concepts is applied to supply industrial, commercial, or agricultural Processes. Optimal supply of solar Heat to such Processes can be complex and requires know-how on large-scale solar thermal systems, Process engineering, and energy efficiency. Nevertheless, in many regions of the world, {SPH} for very suitable applications is already cost competitive to conventional Heating. Low-temperature solar Heat below 90 °C is used, e.g., for preHeating, washing, cleaning, and drying. For these purposes, standard domestic system components or air collectors are applied. Temperatures between 90 and 150 °C are provided by pressurized water systems with improved nontracking collectors or by one-axis tracked Process Heat collectors like small Fresnel collectors or parabolic troughs. Above 150 °C, tracking collectors with pressurized water or thermal oil are used. In addition, direct steam generation within the collectors is possible. Above 400 °C, two-axis tracked collectors like parabolic dishes or central receiver heliostat fields with thermal oil or molten salt as Heat carrier can be used. This chapter reports on potential and state of the art in SPH. Promising “low-hanging-fruit” applications are discussed and examples of realized plants are described. Finally, research and development needs and current future trends are reported.

This sector is a very promising but also challenging application field for solar thermal technology. In this paper, the potential of solar thermal systems to generate Heat for industrial Processes is described and the state-of-the-art is discussed. The IEE dissemination project SO-PRO, which works on decreasing the barriers for solar Process Heat generation is introduced. Interim project achievements and results are presented. In the project, a Design Guide, promoting a holistic planning approach for low-temperature solar Process Heat was elaborated. The most important conclusions for solar thermal system design for four industrial applications are summarized on the following pages. Complementary to the guide, the usage of design nomograms and their limitations are illustrated in detail. A system design example for a cleaning Process is also discussed.

Storage in solar Process Heat applications
Energy Procedia, 2014Co-Authors: Sebastian Schramm, Mario AdamAbstract:The subject of this paper is the integration of solar energy into industrial Heat supply systems - focusing on the use of solar tanks. Within the framework of the project "Solar Process Heat Standards" funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) load profiles of electroplating Processes were measured, a typical load profile was described and simulations were done regarding the dimensioning of the solar tank volume. Depending on the load profile and Process temperature, either a large tank volume or a tank-less system leads to the highest solar yields. Furthermore, a new concept of hydraulic tank integration is presented. It facilitates the quick supply of high solar temperatures which are often demanded for solar Process Heat applications. State of the art tank integration makes the solar system thermally inert, while simulations and measurements have already proven a considerable advantage of the new alternative. Moreover four solar Process Heat applications are analyzed; three belong to the electroplating industry while the fourth uses solar energy for Heating water in the food industry (193 - 570 m2). Especially two of the four solar Process Heat plants presented severe operating errors and a high optimizing potential. One solar plant was improved in order to facilitate the new storage concept. This modification ensures the possibility of shifting between the conventional storage integration and the innovative approach for a comparative evaluation.
