“…In-depth comparison research on various collector designs provides detailed insights into the aspects that significantly influence their performance. Researchers conducted a complete review by contrasting flat-plate as well as evacuated tube collectors, giving light on significant performance differentiators [13]. Their study involved a detailed examination of both collection types under a variety of operational situations [11].…”

This study looked at improving collector designs for solar water heaters using interpretivism, descriptive designas well as a deductive method.The experimental arrangement revealed collector performance variations, which were validated by SolidWorks simulations. Evacuated tubes were more efficient, but flat-plate collectors were more dependable. In order to enhance efficiency, contextual design changes and hybrid systems were suggested. However, the study acknowledged limitations in controlled conditions and simulated simplifications. The importance of extensive validation and real-world applicability was emphasized. The study advances renewable energy utilization by emphasizing the necessity of customized design for optimum collector performance. It lays the groundwork for future studies in hybrid systems, context-specific design, and thorough techno-economic analysis

“…In SORCs, different types of solar collectors can be used depending on the desired temperature level. Evacuated tubular collectors have the advantages of high efficiency, less heat loss, attaining 200 o C temperature [24], not having freezing and overheating problems, and less corrosion. The current studies in the literature on the SORC with evacuated tubular solar collector are limited and insufficient to make a comprehensive evaluation and comparison of it with the other configurations from technical and economical perspectives.…”

This study investigates the affecting parameters for the thermal performance of a Solar Organic Rankine Cycle. The thermodynamic analysis covers the research on the effects of the following parameters: the pressure and temperature of the working fluid at the turbine entrance, and the turbine and pump isentropic efficiencies. The solar organic Rankine cycle is analyzed for an evacuated tubular solar collector. The required collector area for both a fixed value (0.8) of solar fraction and several source (solar collector output) temperatures is also determined for different months of the year in the study. The computer software of Engineering Equation Solver (EES) is used to construct the mathematical model of the cycle and to perform the thermodynamic analysis of the system. In the analysis, R123 and R600 organic fluids are used, and a comparison is made between the two fluids in terms of their effects on the system performance. The results show that R600 has better performance characteristics than R123. The results also show that the system efficiency decreases with increasing temperature at turbine entrance, but with decreasing pressure at turbine entrance. The turbine efficiency influences the system thermal efficiency significantly while the pump efficiency does not have a significant effect on the system thermal efficiency.

The coordinated use of electricity and a heat energy system can effectively improve the energy structure during winter heating in the northern part of China and improve the environmental pollution problem. In this paper, an economic scheduling model of an electric–thermal integrated energy system, including a wind turbine, regenerative electric boiler, solar heat collection system, biomass boiler, ground source heat pump and battery is proposed, and a biomass boiler was selected as the auxiliary heat source of the solar heat collection system. A mixed integer linear programming model was established to take the operating cost of the whole system as the target. A day-ahead optimization scheduling strategy considering the demand side response and improving new energy consumption is proposed. In order to verify the influence of the coordinated utilization of the flexible load and energy storage equipment on the optimal scheduling in the model built, three scenarios were set up. Scenario 3 contains energy storage and a flexible load. Compared with scenario 1, the total cost of scenario 3 was reduced by 51.5%, and the abandonment cost of wind energy was reduced by 43.3%. The use of a flexible load and energy storage can effectively reduce the cost and improve new energy consumption. By increasing the capacity of the energy-storage device, the wind power is completely absorbed, but the operation and maintenance cost is increased, so the capacity of energy storage equipment is allocated reasonably according to the actual situation.
