Overview
What you will study
Solar thermal energy offers a zero-carbon solution to meeting a large proportion of industrial heating demands in countries worldwide. Solar heat for industrial processes (SHIP) can generate water and steam with temperatures of up to around 260 °C.
Despite its potential and economic and environmental benefits, current deployment levels remain low. One reason for this is the need for more knowledge about this technology among key stakeholders such as building services engineers and other engineers, energy managers in industry, industrial plant owners, bankers, and investors.After completing the Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) course offered by Renewables Academy (RENAC) AG , participants should be able to:
- provide examples of industrial processes that are suitable for SHIP,
- describe solar thermal collector technologies that can be used for SHIP,
- explain the basics of SHIP system design and feasibility analysis,
- describe the important practical considerations of SHIP to ensure good system performance,
- explain useful key performance indicators (KPIs) for performing an economic analysis of a SHIP proposal and
- describe the conditions that make SHIP installations economically attractive investment propositions.
