INTEGRATION OF A SEASONAL STORAGE

2013
Student Projects

Abstract

Central solar heating plant is one of the most profitable, the most efficient and the most easily installable solar technology. However, there is significant limitations for its installation on all the northern roof. There is a gap between the summer heat production and the consumption during this season and inversely for the winter. Then, adding a storage medium ,as a buffer for the heat supply, permits to deal correctly with these gaps. The aim of this project is to modelize a storage concept including a solar heat production, a secondary plant and a storage. Then, the goal is to simulate the storage behavior throughout the year and to validate this behavior.

Solar thermal collector

A solar thermal collector collects heat by absorbing sunlight. The term "solar collector" commonly refers to a device for solar hot water heating, but may refer to large power generating installations such as solar parabolic troughs and solar towers or non water heating devices such as solar cooker, solar air heaters. Solar thermal collectors are either non-concentrating or concentrating. In non-concentrating collectors, the aperture area (i.e., the area that receives the solar radiation) is roughly the same as the absorber area (i.

Solar thermal energy

Solar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy for use in industry, and in the residential and commercial sectors. Solar thermal collectors are classified by the United States Energy Information Administration as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors. Low-temperature collectors are generally unglazed and used to heat swimming pools or to heat ventilation air. Medium-temperature collectors are also usually flat plates but are used for heating water or air for residential and commercial use.

Concentrated solar power

Concentrated solar power (CSP, also known as concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a receiver. Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat (solar thermal energy), which drives a heat engine (usually a steam turbine) connected to an electrical power generator or powers a thermochemical reaction. As of 2021, global installed capacity of concentrated solar power stood at 6.
