Hybrid techniques to enhance solar thermal: the way forward

Abstract: Solar is one of the pillars for clean and environment friendly energy. The drawback of the solar is the interruption during the night and cloudy and rainy weather. This paper presents the author's experience on enhancing the solar thermal systems by integration techniques with either other energy resources or thermal energy storages (TES). The present works includes the hybrid solar drying through integration with thermal backup unit. The experimental results on hybrid drying showed enhancement of 64.1% for Em… Show more

“…For example, in electronics and computation, the new trend of mining cryptocurrencies [1,2] and the use of massive computation clusters and data centers [3] constantly emit heat that must be efficiently transported to a convenient sink (in many applications can be simply the ambient). On the other hand, a very interesting application can be found in the solar energy field: the PV panels work better at low temperatures, then the solar energy can be profited implementing thermal-voltage hybrid systems (PV-T), the heat can be stored and used for water heating [4], or can be used directly for other applications as dryer systems [5].…”

“…Nowadays, an important trend in the industrial and transport development is an environmental concern and reduction of the technogenic load [1][2][3][4][5][6]. A wide range of strategies is implemented, including an improvement of traditional hydrocarbon fuels [4,7] and the use of renewable energy sources for power supply of the cities [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In 2018, the share of renewable energy was 26% of the total amount of electric energy produced.…”
