  1. 1. Assessment of the integration of solar heat power into food drying processes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Charalampos Psilopoulos; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable; sustainability; co2 reduction; feasibility; solar thermal; direct steam generation; drying; food industry; scope 1 emissions; sdg; sustainable development goals; spray drying; drum drying; powder; food; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The long-lasting usage of fossil fuels has brought its negative impact on the planet and thus the society is turning towards more environmentally sustainable solutions in every aspect of life. This master’s thesis discusses the novel topic of integrating concentrated solar thermal collectors, which directly produce steam, to drying processes in the food industry, which is proven to currently emit significant amounts of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs).

  3. 2. Identification of shape errors in a parabolic solar collector : An improvement to the analysing algorithms examining the solar collector from optical measurements

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Malin Gelfgren; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Increasing global warming with droughts, forest fires and melting polar ice has forced the world to speed up the transition from fossil fuel to fossil free energy. A big part of it is the use of solar energy. To obtain solar thermal energy, different sorts of solar collectors have been developed. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effects of solar parabolic- trough collectors in small- scale district heating systems

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Alejandro Monterrubio; [2022]
    Keywords : Parabolic-trough collector; direct normal radiation; diffuse radiation; insolation; carbon abatement cost; biomass; District Heating; Levelized cost of energy;

    Abstract : Reducing carbon emissions in our societies requires a massive shift towards renewables. In Sweden, biomass is the dominant source for the district heat production, but growing demand for biomass in other sectors may cause pressure on it. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hybrid solar district heating: combinations of high and low temperature solar technologies : A case study of Swedish DH system

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Lucrezia Giorgio; [2021]
    Keywords : District heating; Solar assisted district heating; Hybrid solar system; Flat plate collector; Parabolic trough collector; Photovoltaic thermal collector.;

    Abstract : In Sweden, the residential and industrial energy demand is provided by a significant part of district heating. In a decarbonization plan to reduce the CO2 emissions, the integration of a large-scale solar system in the district heating can be a suitable option. READ MORE

  6. 5. Integration of solar thermal collectors in the dairy industry: A techno-economic assessment : A case study of Dubai

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Hassim Shah; [2021]
    Keywords : Solar thermal; parabolic trough collector; levelized cost of heat; integration schemes;

    Abstract : A predominant amount of energy needed in the industrial sector is in the form of heat. A significant number of industries in the world still relies on fossil fuels for meeting their heat requirements. READ MORE
