How much does 20kw solar photovoltaic power generation cost
Investing in a 20kW solar photovoltaic power generation system entails a multifaceted approach encompassing cost analysis, potential savings, and overall benefits.
Using TRNSYS software, the proposed Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC)-based solar heating system paired with the boiler is modelled. Sensible thermal energy storage (TES) system is integrated into the refinery's process heating to handle the intermittent nature of solar energy.
Conclusion The present study investigates the feasibility of solar hybrid system to generate steam in the oil refinery to maintain the temperature of heavy crude oil products before despatching from storage tanks. Due to the intermittent behaviour of solar energy, the solar hybrid system is integrated with a sensible heat storage tank.
The amount of fuel and cost savings by the integration of a solar hybrid system into the refinery and the payback period of the system by using different types of fuel in the furnace are shown in Table 6. Table 6. Payback period of the proposed system by using different fuel.
A thermal storage system (TES) is included to handle the sun's intermittent nature. The system's energy and exergy efficiencies were determined to be 60.94 and 19.34%, respectively. In addition, a 10% solar contribution to crude oil heating reduces 11,950 tonnes of CO2 annually.
