  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. Comparative simulation of PVT designs for three locations in Europe with different simulation tools

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : María Teresa Rodríguez Rubio; [2022]
    Keywords : Agriculture; Energy; European Commission; Horizon 2020; Innovation Project; Livestock farms; Renewable Energy; RES4LIVE; Solar Energy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, different types of PVT (photovoltaic-thermal collectors) for three different farms in Europe will be studied, as part of the RES4LIVE project from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action programme. A suitable renewable energy system will be proposed for each farm, considering the temperature range requirement and the climate conditions in each farm. READ MORE

  4. 3. The pathway to outcompete fossilfuels : Solar thermal as an alternative for industrial heating processesin Gujarat, India

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Author : Nordlander Emilie; [2021]
    Keywords : Solar Therma Energy; India; Industrial heating; Absolicon Solar Collector AB;

    Abstract : 2015 the Paris agreement was signed to tackle the climate change and reduce emissions from fossil fuel burning. The industrial and manufacturing sector which alone accounts for 32% of global energy use relies heavily on fossil fuels. Solar thermal energy is a renewable energy source that has potential of replacing large portions of this energy. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effect of dust-settlements on glasscovered concentrating solarcollectors in Atacama desert

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Elias Forsgren; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As of today 189 countries have signed the Paris agreement which states that the mean temperature of the world should not increase with more than 2°C when compared to pre industrial levels. This causes a great shift in the energy sector sand the hunt for newer and better renewable sources continues. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of Convection Suppressor for Concentrating Solar Collectors with a Parabolic Trough

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Fanny Nyberg; [2018]
    Keywords : concentrating solar collector; parabolic trough; solar power; CST; convection; thermal loss; koncentrerande solfångare; paraboliskt tråg; solenergi; CST; konvektion; termisk förlust;

    Abstract : Absolicon Solar Collector AB in Härnösand, Sweden, develops concentrating solar collectors with a parabolic trough. In the solar collector trough, there is thermal loss due to convection. A convection suppressor was made and used as a method to reduce thermal loss due to convection in the trough. READ MORE
