The widespread use of fossil fuels and their limitation leads to find other sources of energy. Solar thermal energy is a possible solution. There are many projects that use renewable energy. Solar thermal energy can be easily used for heating. However, there are problems in the efficiency of solar collectors, the loss of heat, the consistency of heat supply, temperature and weather conditions, the biggest problem being the heat storage. In this paper is provided an overview of the methodologies for thermal integration of solar heating systems implemented in various projects and research. Solar heating systems have different designs and can generate heat in different temperature ranges. The main emphasis in this comprehensive overview is the systematisation of the various methodologies used in the integration of solar heat in production. In principle, solar heating systems are directly connected to the production systems. Furthermore, a few methodologies like Pinch technology, mathematical modelling and cogeneration are included.

“…Numerous models with varying levels of complexity and usage scenarios have been proposed for the design and simulation of solar thermal energy systems [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Specifically, the focus of this paper is on the application of modeling and simulation for mathematical optimization-based design of solar-IPH systems.…”

“…They proposed an algorithm which uses the various process stream temperatures and pinch analysis to identify the best process stream to exchange solar energy with. They utilized a commercial simulator to calculate the performance of the solar system and subsequently the economics of the retrofit strategy [34]. Although the analysis identifies some technical challenges of physically coupling the solar thermal system with the process from a heat integration perspective, it does not adequately address the fundamental design considerations of the solar system itself [34].…”

Further, their approach cannot be used within mathematical optimization-based design strategies as the solar performance model is only accessible as an ad-hoc black-box simulation [34].…”

A dynamic model of a concentrating solar thermal array and thermal energy storage system is presented that is differentiable in the design decision variables: solar aperture area and thermal energy storage capacity. The model takes as input the geographic location of the system of interest and the corresponding discrete hourly solar insolation data, and calculates the annual thermal and economic performance of a particular design. The model is formulated for use in determining optimal hybridization strategies for industrial process heat applications using deterministic gradient-based optimization algorithms. Both convex and nonconvex problem formulations are presented. To demonstrate the practicability of the models, they were applied to four different case studies for three disparate geographic locations in the US. The corresponding optimal design problems were solved to global optimality using deterministic gradient-based optimization algorithms. The model and optimization-based analysis provide a rigorous quantitative design and investment decision-making framework for engineering design and project investment workflows.
