Solar water heating systems use heat exchangers to transfer solar energy absorbed in solar collectors to potable (drinkable) water. Heat exchangers can be made of steel, copper, bronze, stainless steel, aluminum, or cast iron.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy and storage technologies are the ultimate, powerful combination for the goal of independent, self-serving power production and consumption throughout days, nights and bad weather.
One challenge facing the widespread use of solar energy is reduced or curtailed energy production when the sun sets or is blocked by clouds. Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge.
Storing thermal energy is less complicated and less expensive than storing electrical energy and allows CSP plants to deliver energy regardless of whether the sun is shining.
The fluid exits the heat exchanger at a low temperature and returns to the low-temperature tank. Two-tank direct storage was used in early parabolic trough power plants (such as Solar Electric Generating Station I) and at the Solar Two power tower in California.
The indirect system requires an extra heat exchanger, which adds cost to the system. This system will be used in many of the parabolic power plants in Spain and has also been proposed for several U.S. parabolic plants. The plants will use organic oil as the heat-transfer fluid and molten salt as the storage fluid.
Fluid from the high-temperature tank flows through a heat exchanger, where it generates steam for electricity production. The fluid exits the heat exchanger at a low temperature and returns to the low-temperature tank.
