Modeling study for low-carbon industrial processes integrating solar thermal technologies. A case study in the Italian Alps: The Felicetti Pasta Factory

Untitled

“…In Argentina, the CPCs have shown to be an economic and environmentally viable alternative at temperatures that oscillate between 100 y 150 °C since the leveled energy cost is between 2.5 and 16.9 euros per kWh/m 2 . Similarly, the ranges associated to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by substituting electricity The study by means of dynamic modeling of a solar field with PTCs, for water heating in the process of drying Italian pasta in an Italian factory, evidenced that the design of this system has the capability of guaranteeing 23 % of the weekly thermal energy demand used in this process [11]. In the work by Ghazouani, Bouya and Benaissa [15], the design and operating parameters of a small PTC were analyzed with the purpose of maximizing the thermal and economic efficiency and the energy performance under the meteorologic conditions of the city of Rabat; with the improvement of the technical features of the collector they were able to supply more than 12.84 MWh/year at a competitive smaller cost of 0.022 USD/kWh with each device.…”

“…According to the type of industrial process, solar collectors may be classified in three categories based on their temperature range: low temperature (< 150 °C), medium temperature (150 -400 °C) and high temperature (> 400 °C) [10]. However, in commercial and industrial companies there is a greater demand at temperatures below 250 °C [11]. This paper comprises a review of the latest advances on solar thermal collectors applied to industry through the presentation of technical, economic and environmental aspects, considering real facilities and dynamic simulations of the systems analyzed.…”

“…a c e p t a d a El estudio mediante la modelación dinámica de un campo solar con colectores PTC, para el calentamiento de agua en el proceso de secado de pasta en una fábrica italiana, evidenció que el diseño de este sistema tiene la capacidad de garantizar el 23 % de la demanda de energía térmica semanal empleada en este proceso [11]. En el trabajo de Ghazouani, Bouya y Benaissa [15] se analizaron los parámetros de diseño y operativos de un PTC pequeño con el fin de maximizar la eficiencia termoeconómica y el rendimiento energético con las condiciones meteorológicas de la ciudad de Rabat; con la mejora de las características técnicas del colector consiguieron proporcionar más de 12,84 MWh/año a un costo competitivo menor a 0,022 USD/kWh con cada dispositivo.…”

“…Dependiendo del tipo de proceso industrial, se puede dar una clasificación de los colectores solares dependiendo del rango de temperatura en tres categorías: baja temperatura (< 150 °C), media temperatura (150-400 °C) y alta temperatura (> 400 °C) [10]. Sin embargo, en empresas comerciales e industriales se tiene una mayor demanda a temperaturas por debajo de los 250 °C [11]. Este artículo comprende una revisión de los últimos avances de los colectores solares térmicos aplicados a la industria mediante la presentación de aspectos técnicos, económicos y ambientales, considerando instalaciones reales y simulaciones dinámicas de los sistemas analizados.…”

Annual Thermal Performance of an Industrial Hybrid Direct–Indirect Solar Air Heating System for Drying Applications in Morelos-México

“…The useful annual energy was 216.62 MWh/yr, and the solar fraction was 0.41. Bolognese et al [31] assessed a pasta factory's solar steam generation performance using Dymola-Dassault-Systems software (Paris, France). The useful energy was 21 MWh, and the annual solar fraction was around 0.23.…”
