Description

This lecture covers the theoretical and real potential of solar energy, the characteristics of solar irradiation, and the possible conversion pathways for solar thermal applications, including non-concentrated and concentrated systems. It discusses the global primary energy demand, the distribution of solar radiation at Earth's surface, and the different technologies used in solar thermal systems. The lecture also explores the use of solar heat in residential and industrial settings, showcasing examples of solar district heating plants and industrial applications. Additionally, it delves into the concentrated solar power generation through Rankine and combined cycles, highlighting the advantages and limitations of concentrated radiation technologies.
