Industrial plant solar power generation cooperation

What is solar for industrial processes?

Solar energy can be used to generate heat for a wide variety of industrial applications, including water desalination, enhanced oil recovery, food processing, chemical production, and mineral processing, among many others.

Can solar heat systems be integrated into industrial applications?

Integration of solar heat systems into industrial applications requires storage and control strategies to handle the non-continuous supply of solar energy (Atkins, et al., 2010; Schramm and Adam, 2014).

How do I find projects that support solar for industrial processes?

To view specific projects that support solar for industrial processes, search the Solar Energy Research Database. Learn more about CSP research, other solar energy research in SETO, and view current and former funding programs.

Why are rooftop solar installations in industrial parks growing?

Rooftop solar installations in industrial parks have grown to meet these companies requirement for renewable energy (and more climate-friendly products). The country has incentivised the growth of renewable energy generation via FiTs in the solar industry.

How many EIPs share res power plants?

Only 3 EIPs out of 106 share RES power plants: one solar power station with distributed geothermal heat pumps and two solar power stations. In total, the renewable-fuelled power plants (biomass, bioenergy, solar, wind, hydro and geothermal) account for about 1% of the total power generation capacity.

Are solar energy technologies more competitive in industrial districts than residential areas?

The high cost of electricity for industrial use and the large energy utilization during the daytime leads to the evaluation of solar energy technologies, and particularly low-temperature thermal energy generators, which are more competitive in industrial districts than in residential areas.
