“…Very short averaging times or instantaneous data are hardly suitable for this method. With sufficiently long averaging times, fluctuation limits of up to 5K in the input temperature and up to 15% in the mass flow could be allowed and led to good results (Fahr et al, 2018).…”

The market for large solar thermal systems is growing and with it the need to plan, design and simulate these systems precisely. This requires the ability to accurately and meaningfully measure their performance and yields. Hence activities for the development of methods to characterize such plants are on-going. The paper presents three of these methods and compares them with regard to their technical requirements and boundary conditions. The comparison includes the collector models on which they are based, the nature of their results and the use cases for which they are most suitable. It should serve as a decision-making aid for stakeholders in selecting the measurement method best suited to their needs and boundaries. The paper shows that these methods do not contradict, but rather complement each other.

This fact sheet presents three in situ test methods for solar collectors and solar collector arrays, namely In situ Collector Certification (ICC), Performance Check for Collector Arrays (PC) and Dynamic Collector Array Test (D-CAT). A comparison is made regarding their scopes and use cases, methodologies and outcomes, which could serve as a decision-making aid for stakeholders in selecting the procedure that best suits their needs. The analysis shows that the methods do not contradict, but rather complement each other.

Large-scale solar thermal systems are a cost-efficient technology to provide renewable heat. The rapid market growth in the last decade has been concentrated on a small number of countries, with the outstanding position of Denmark followed by China, Germany and Austria. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the market and common technological solutions for large-scale solar thermal systems in these countries.
