“…ReSSSPI [11] is a specific front-end developed by the SOLATOM company that serves as a web calculator for SOLATOM collectors. This software, based on an opensource code (PYTHON 3), can estimate both the systems' energy performance and the financial aspects of the application at hand using the information provided by the users through an online form.…”

“…* are the investment cost of the facility [€], and / are the maintenance cost (120 €/collector) that are incremented each year by 2.5 %. Both the maintenance costs and the increasing factor were obtained from the ReSSSPI software [11] (www.ressspi.com). Solar savings are the economic savings obtained with the solar system when compared to the cost of the conventional power device of the industry (i.e., fuel oil boiler).…”

This study presents a techno-economic assessment of the use of Linear Fresnel Solar Collectors for the heat supply in traditional fruits and vegetable processing industries in Almeria’s province. This assessment is justified by the high availability of solar radiation in the area under study, the evaluation of complementary energy self-consumption modalities, and the suitability of using local resources for the preservation and improvement of traditional productive activities. The work starts with an identification of the potential user’s needs and their location in the province. Afterward, the solar radiation resources have been estimated as they constitute one of the basic inputs for sizing the proposed systems. Together with the above, representative thermal demands have been considered and different configurations of commercial Linear Fresnel Solar Collector thermal plants aimed to contribute to solarize the analyzed productive processes have been designed and the corresponding techno-economic assessment have been undertaken. Main findings advance the profitability that can be achieved with this technology, reaching, after an optimized integration of the solar plant in the industrial process, a solar fraction between 66-82 % and payback periods of the investment between 6-12 years

“…Many simulation and systems models are focused on power generation from renewables; some models focused specifically on industrial applications have emerged, such as RESSSPI (Frasquet et al 2018) and SHIP2FAIR (specifically for agricultural and food industries) (Royo-Pascual et al 2020). Others, such as SAM and Greenius, are focused more generally on renewables with more attention paid to the types of installations suitable for power generation and less focus on industrial applications, although the rest of this report has documented SAM's capabilities, planned and existing, related to solar thermal technologies.…”

“…Moreover, Frasquet [20] developed an online and open source simulation tool for solar thermal systems coupled to an industrial process, with a special focus on Linear Fresnel Reflectors. Subsequently, it evolved into a web-based simulation tool called RESSSPI [21], which considers certain integration schemes based on those defined in [22]. In addition, TRNSYS software [23] has been widely utilized to assess solar thermal systems coupled with different industrial applications.…”

Industrial energy accounts for a large percentage of global consumption and, thus, it is a target for decarbonization by renewable and in particular solar energy adoption. Low uncertainty simulation tools can reduce the financial risk of solar projects, fostering the transition to a sustainable energy system. Several simulation tools are readily available to developers; differences exist in the format of input data and complexity of physical and numerical models. These tools can provide a variety of results from technical to financial and sensitivity analysis, often producing significant differences in yield assessment and uncertainty levels. IEA SHC Task 64/SolarPACES Task IV—Subtask C aims to address the lack of standard simulation tools for Solar Heating of Industrial Processes (SHIP) plants. This article describes the collaborative work developed by the researchers participating in the task. The identification and classification of several currently available simulation tools are performed on the basis of their capabilities and simulation approaches. A case study of solar heat supply to a copper mining operation is defined, allowing a comparison of the results produced by equivalent simulation tools. The proposed methodology identifies the main sources of differences among the simulation tools, the assessment of the deviation considering a series of statistical metrics for different time scales, and identifies their limitations and bias. The effects of physical characteristics of SHIP plants and different simulation approaches are discussed and quantified. The obtained results allow us to develop a basic guideline for a standardized yield assessment procedure with known uncertainties. Creating this common framework could partially reduce the risk perceived by the finance industry regarding SHIP systems.
