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.

The European FP7 Project InSun; which started in April 2012; aims to demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of three different collector technologies suitable for heat production employed in diverse industrial processes in different climatic regions. These collectors are installed and will be monitored in detail over a period of almost two years. One of the plants is installed at Fleischwaren Berger GmbH located in Sieghartskirchen, Austria, a company which produces meat and sausage products. The second solar plant is installed at the company Laterizi Gambettola SRL (SOLTIGUA) located in Gambettola, Italy, which produces highly insulating hollow brick blocks for external walls of buildings. The control optimization and commissioning of the two solar plants has been carried out as a part of the InSun project. Considering measurements and results of simulations developed with dynamic models, potential improvements of the low-level control algorithms are presented for the two solar plants.

“…The nominal heat production was 100 kW that is covered in a percentage of 67% with a 1000 m 2 collecting area and 100 m 3 of storage tank volume. Vittoriosi et al [22] studied the use of LFR in a 1.2-MW installation in Italy. They found that the total system coverage was 20% with 2700 m 2 of collectors for heat production at 260 • C. El Ghazzani et al [23] found that the use of 39,760 m 2 of PTCs with a storage tank of 3300 m 3 were able to cover 57% of a 10.5-MW load at 160 • C in Morocco.…”

The objective of this work is the investigation of a solar heat industry process with parabolic trough solar collectors. The analysis is conducted for the climate conditions of Athens (Greece) and for five load temperature levels (100 • C, 150 • C, 200 • C, 250 • C, and 300 • C). The examined configuration combines parabolic trough solar collectors coupled to a storage tank and an auxiliary heat source for covering the thermal need of 100 kW. The solar thermal system was optimized using the collecting area and the storage tank volume as the optimization variables. There are three different optimization procedures, using different criteria in every case. More specifically, the solar coverage maximization, the net present value maximization, and the payback period minimization are the goals of the three different optimization procedures. Generally, it is found that the payback period is between five and six years, the net present value is between 500-600 k€, and the solar coverage is close to 60%. For the case of the 200 • C temperature level, the optimum design using the net present value criterion indicates 840 m 2 of solar collectors coupled to a storage tank of 15.3 m 3 . The optimization using the solar cover indicates the use of 980 m 2 of solar collectors with a tank of 28 m 3 , while the payback period minimization is found for a 560 m 2 collecting area and an 8-m 3 storage tank volume. The results of this work can be used for the proper design of solar heat industry process systems with parabolic trough collectors.
