    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Anton Segovia Lundh; [2023]
    Keywords : solar thermal; concentrated solar power CSP ; renewable energy; performance evaluation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Given the urgency of climate change, alternative energy sources, and policy strategies are needed to reach the net-zero emission goals and halt global warming. Solar thermal energy is a renewable and abundant energy source that could be a part of the solution. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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).

    Abstract : One of the key challenges the world will need to face during the 21st century is global warming and the consequent climate change. Its presence is indisputable, and decarbonizing the gird emerges as one of the required pathways to achieve global sustainable objectives. READ MORE

  5. 4. Techno-economic fesibility of a hybrid CSP (sCO2) - PV plant for hydrogen production

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Patricia Perez De La Calle; [2023]
    Keywords : Soec oxide electrolyzer cell SOEC ; Concentrated solar plant CSP ; Super critical cO2 sCO2 ; photovoltaic field PV ; Thermal storage TES ; electrolyzer; MoSES; high temperature electrolysis THE .;

    Abstract : The global need to eliminate CO2 emissions and its consequent reduction in the use of fossil fuels drives the ongoing energy transition that highly involves the research achievements of the scientific community to reach the goals of this purpose. Renewable sources like photovoltaic and wind energy, are central to this endeavor, however, the intermittency of natural resources makes it non-dispatchable and energy storage is fundamental.
