Solar thermal power plants for the Spanish electricity market
Solar thermal power plants are at present the cheapest technology for solar electricity production. At good sites Levelised Electricity Costs (LEC) of 11 Ct/kWh have been achieved in commercially operated power plants. Economy of scale and further technical improvements will reduce the LEC for future projects. On the 27th of March 2004 in Spain the existing feed-in-law has been modified in order ...

DenningSons Farms Solar installation Case Study
Project Overview: DenningSons Farms in Jonesville, Michigan took a giant leap to cut their energy cost and usage. As one of the first dairy farms in Michigan to have solar installed, the 77 panel array will produce about 10 percent of the farms annual electricity demand. “The project costs about $90,000, but will be paid back through the grants and loans as well as savings in energy costs ...

New definition of fluid exergy in a gravitational field
This paper discusses the concept of working fluid exergy in an atmosphere stratified by a gravitational field, particularly the hot humid air in the atmosphere. A definition of exergy, different from that recently proposed by Petela (2008), is presented. Thermodynamic diagrams illustrate its elements and its technically feasible part in a transparent way. Reference papers are given for ...

Solare Klärschlammtrocknung in der Praxis - Erfahrungen auf der Kläranlage Glarnerland
The water purification plant Glarnerland produces yearly roughly 4 000 tons of digested sludge (DM 25 %). Through drying, partially using in agriculture and the rest burning in the county's waste incineration plant the final disposal of the sludge is solved. The new solar sludge drying plant uses solar energy and waste heat taken from the electrothermal power station. In the new solar drying ...

Exergy analysis and optimisation of collector dimensions in a solar chimney power plant using entropy generation minimisation method
The purpose of this study is to optimise the dimensions of the collector in a solar chimney power plant with entropy generation minimisation (EGM) method. Projection method, based on second–order finite difference discretisation, is developed to solve the coupled equations of continuity, momentum and energy of laminar natural convection in a fully staggered grid. Numerical solution showed that ...

Solar Energy has Little Impact on Birds
People are not worried about the pollution coming from the renewable energy sources, because most of them do not produce significant amounts of pollution. The supplies, the process of how the supplies come to the source and the demolishing machines used to erect these renewable energy sources are the true culprits wreaking havoc environmentally. For instance, older wind turbines have a negative ...
