SIMULATION OF DIRECT STEAM PRODUCTION THROUGH A LINEAR SOLAR FRESNEL CONCENTRATOR (LFC) FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES.
DEMAND, ENERGY, CONCENTRATOR, SIMULATION
Demand for energy and global climate change have posed challenges and led organizations of all types and segments to increasingly face the integration of environmental issues into their service plans and products, with the need to redirect and even resize their respective businesses. Government regulation on the product life cycle and production processes highlights the need for accountability and clarity on issues of causes and effects with regard to the impacts of its products and services.
The need to accurately determine the energy needed in your production processes and everything related to them. The industrial segment is a large consumer of energy, with a good part of this energy being used in the form of heat. The energy coming from a solar concentrator becomes interesting and increasingly viable in all aspects. This work presents the simulation using the TRNSYS (Transient System Simulation) platform of a system composed of a linear Fresnel solar concentrator for the direct generation of steam for use in various industrial processes.
