Zhiyong Tian,Shicong Zhang,Jie Deng,Jianhua Fan,Junpeng Huang,Weiqiang Kong,Bengt Perers,Simon Furbo +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of large solar district heating plants in Denmark has been reviewed and discussed, and the potential integration of large district heating systems with other renewable energy technologies is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermo-economic optimization of a hybrid solar district heating plant with flat plate collectors and parabolic trough collectors in series
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a generic method to optimize the hybrid solar district heating systems based on levelized cost of heat, which can guide engineers and designers on the design, construction and control of large-scale solar heating plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow distribution in a solar collector panel with horizontally inclined absorber strips
TL;DR: In this article, the authors theoretically and experimentally investigate the flow and temperature distribution in a solar collector panel with an absorber consisting of horizontally inclined strips, by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multilayer fabric stratification pipes for solar tanks
TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation of a number of different fabric stratification pipes is presented and compared to a non-flexible inlet inlet stratifier for one set of operating conditions by means of the optical PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry).
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale solar thermal systems in leading countries: A review and comparative study of Denmark, China, Germany and Austria
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the market and common technological solutions for large-scale solar thermal systems in these countries, including solar resources, heat supply systems, competing technologies, promotion schemes and business models.
