Abstract

A Systematisation of Methods for Heat Integration of Solar Thermal Energy in Production Processes: A Review

Highlights

Fossil fuels have a great impact on production costs, production prices, and the environment
Solar heat integration with Pinch technology replaces the energy of fossil fuels in production up to 40% in different cases
Lauterbach et al [74] concluded that food and chemical industries in Germany are the most appropriate for solar heat integration

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Fossil fuels have a great impact on production costs, production prices, and the environment. Liew et al [57] examined the Total Site Heat Integration (TSHI) of renewable energy sources within production processes and urban systems They reviewed different optimisation methodologies that can be used for TSHI projects. Design of integration between solar thermal system and user with cogeneration Many authors report about the possibility of using different combinations for the generation of heat from the sun They have suggested sun energy storage as electricity (photovoltaic). Lauterbach et al [74] concluded that food and chemical industries in Germany are the most appropriate for solar heat integration They developed and analysed TRNSYS model simulation of German brewery for hot water supply by solar heating system [75]. The use of solar thermal energy in colder periods, especially in a geographic location as Latvia, can be very expensive
