| Descrizione sintetica del progetto |
|
The capture of large amount of solar energy, the storage,
for long period of time, of the captured energy as heat at
low temperature, and the heat release according to
the user needs are the key steps for large scale solar
heating applications. To make the ultimate goal of
achieving technological solutions with improved
performance at competitive costs, this project will focus
on developing an innovative enabling technology based
on a new and effective method for heat extraction from
a solar pond. |
| Esigenza/e affrontata/e dal progetto |
|
To reach the project goal, the GREENEST consortium partners have been brought together to provide complementary competencies in taking up the following challenges:
-To develop accurate an predictive models for the behaviour of the solar pond in both static and dynamic conditions, where the dynamic conditions are dictated by the climatic phenomena and
imposed by the heat user needs;
-To design and to realize a Ushaped solar pond, where the heat is extracted by putting in a slow motion the bottom brine layer;
-To access the capability of the heat extraction system by coupling the solar pond with a greenhouse;
-To develop a demonstrator able to show the technological, environmental and economic viability of the proposed innovation since, so far, no large scale greenhouses have been realized with sustainable energy as the only source for year-round heating ( a significant step in the process of having a completely fossil fuel free greenhouse horticulture);
-To develop the basic knowledge for other applications within the addressed strategic objectives (sea water desalination, greenhouse cooling, CO2 production, biodegradation). |
| Obiettivi del progetto |
The main objective of the project is the exploitation of an innovative technology aimed: to capture large amounts of solar energy; to store, for long period of time, the captured solar energy as heat at low temperature; to release the heat according to the user needs.
|
| Azioni previste dal progetto |
|
The exploitation of the proposed innovative technology will be based on the modelling, simulation, realization and real data analysis of an experimental Solar Pond device.
The viability of the technology for practical applications will be tested by the coupling of the Solar Pond with a greenhouse in which the heating and venting system will be properly designed. |
| Risultati attesi |
The project aims to achieve the following results: the establishment of the basic theoretical and technical knowledge; the application of such knowledge to the study and the analysis of the many systems which need an almost continuous supply of heat at low temperature; a detailed analysis of the environmental and technology costs; the diffusion of knowledge which increases the use of renewable and clean energy within a broad range of applications; the realization of a demonstration, the heating of a greenhouse, which will prove the viability of the new technology, the Solar Pond, with its innovative heat extraction system, as a cost effective mean with potential economic advantages.
|
| Risultati conseguiti |
A Crs4 patent for the innovative heat extraction process from the solar pond - Patent number FI2003A000008.
A series of research publications, on international journals, concerning the stability of the solar pond under operative conditions.
