Schematic representation of the conventional energy generation (a) and combined heat and power generation (b). Reducing fossil fuel consumption in the global market, particularly expanding renewable generation, has been a great challenge for the energy community .
Solar energy generation is contingent upon daylight and clear weather conditions, whereas wind energy is unpredictable, depending on fluctuating wind speeds. The intermittency and variability of these energy sources pose a challenge to the stability of the electricity grid, thereby affecting the wider adoption of renewable energy systems.
The integration of solar thermal energy systems with the industrial processes mainly depends on the local solar radiation, availability of land, conventional fuel prices, quality of steam required, and flexibility of system integration with the existing process.
The integration of wind, solar, hydro, thermal, and energy storage can improve the clean utilization level of energy and the operation efficiency of power systems, give full play to the advantages of regions rich in new energy resources and realize the large-scale consumption of clean power.
Kalogirou (2003) analyzed the characteristics and economics of solar thermal energy systems such as flat plate, evacuated tubular, compound parabolic, and parabolic trough collectors for industrial applications such as paper, textile, chemical, food, and beverage industries (temperature range from 60 °C to 260 °C).
In this article, an extensive review of various solar thermal energy technologies and their industrial applications are presented. The following industries are covered: power generation, oil and gas, pulp & paper, textile, food processing & beverage, pharmaceutical, leather, automotive, and metal industries.
