Subtasks
Subtask A: Process heat collector development and process heat collector testing
IEA SHC Task 49/IV - Deliverable A1.3 - Process Heat Collectors - State of the Art and Available Medium Temperature Collectors
May 2016 - PDF 1.39MB - Posted: 2016-05-19
By: Pedro Horta
In the present SHIP applications are suited by well-established technologies covering the range of process temperatures found in different industrial sectors: low (T < 100ºC), medium (100ºC < T < 250ºC) or high temperature (250ºC < T < 400ºC).
Considering that solar collectors suiting industrial processes might also suit non-industrial applications (e.g. hot water production on the Residential sector or high pressure steam for power generation purposes) it is important to establish the scope of a Solar Process Heat Collector.

Publisher: IEA SHC Task 49
To enable solar thermal technologies to successfully enter the important market of process heat applications, it is crucial for the manufacturers to be able to provide reliable figures to succeed in tenders, to be able to predict energy yields with sufficient accuracy and to be able to prove liability in operation. All of this requires commonly agreed key figures and testing procedures to provide these.

By: Bettina Muster-Slawitsch
When integrating solar heat into industrial or commercial processes, the aim is to identify the most technically and economically suitable integration point and the most suitable integration concept. Due to the complexity of heat supply and distribution in industry, where a large number of processes might require thermal energy, this task is usually not trivial.
Within Task 49/IV Subtask B several documents have been developed to assist with the necessary steps when planning the integration of a solar process heat plant.
IEA SHC Task 49/IV - Deliverable B5 - Potential Enhancement of Solar Process Heat by Emerging Technologies

Within IEA Task 49, Subtask B is focusing on the integration possibilities of solar heat in industrial processes. In this context, also the questions are tackled:
- Which new technologies can stimulate the use of renewable (solar) heat?
- Which technologies must be developed for reacting best on the hybrid energy supply in future?
IEA SHC Task 49/IV - Deliverable B3 - Updated Efficiency Finder

The Efficiency Finder, also known as Zero Emission WikiWeb or Matrix of Indicators is a reference book that contains important information on unit operations, energy supply technologies, process technologies, best practice examples, and guidelines for implementation of efficiency measures and renewable energy technologies. The website (http://wiki.zero-emissions.at/) can be used as an inter-active compendium by process engineers, energy managers, RES experts, etc. to support their work e.g. by providing measures for energy efficiency and finding suitable solar applications in production processes.

Subtask C: Design Guidelines, Case Studies and Dissemination
IEA SHC Task 49/IV - Deliverable C3 - Performance assessment methodology and simulation case studies
March 2016 - PDF 0.65MB - Posted: 2016-05-23
By: Werner Platzer
Performance of a solar system or any other energy conversion system in general is often being considered in a too simplified way. Simple performance indicators or metrics like efficiency are often taken without any description of the operating and application conditions, of the system boundaries considered for its calculation.
The performance of a system however can be described in a broader sense as a concept including energetical, economical and environmental aspects of a system operation for a defined time period. The system boundaries considered should be clearly defined, and the operating conditions according to the application should be specified.

Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) is currently at the early stages of development, but is considered to have huge potential for solar thermal applications. Currently, 120 operating solar thermal systems for process heat are reported worldwide, with a total capacity of about 88 MWth (125,000 m2). The first applications have been experimental and relatively small in scale. In recent years, significantly larger solar thermal fields have been applied and are currently in the project pipeline. There is great potential for this market and technological developments as 28% of the overall energy demand in the EU27 countries originates in the industrial sector and the majority of this is heat of below 250°C.

In several specific industry sectors, such as food, wine and beverages, transport equipment, machinery, textiles, pulp and paper, the share of heat demand at low and medium temperatures (below 250°C) is around 60%. Tapping into this potential would provide a significant solar contribution to industrial energy requirements.

The identification of the requirements of the so called “process heat collectors” that run at higher temperatures will lead to new collector and collector loop developments. To achieve this not only do solar collectors need to be improved, but also production processes need a thorough investigation in order to lower the process temperatures and increase the heat transfer. In several specific industry sectors, such as food, wine and beverages, transport equipment, machinery, textiles, pulp and paper, the share of heat demand at low and medium temperatures (below 250°C) is around 60%. Tapping into this potential would provide a significant solar contribution to industrial energy requirements.
