SOLINDARITY will develop, demonstrate and validate the feasibility of an integrated Solar Energy-based Heat Upgrade System (SEHUS) comprising solar energy resources, innovative High Temperature Heat Pumps (HTHP), Thermal Energy Storage (TES) and Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) for the deep decarbonization of industrial processes with temperatures up to 280°C. The solar energy resources include High Vacuum Flat solar Panels (HVFPs) for pressurized hot water generation at a temperature of up to 150°C with high performance Photovoltaic (PV) panels with trackers and special nanocoatings, that (apart from producing directly power for the process power needs) drive a novel, reverse Brayton HTHP to elevate its working medium (air) temperatures up to 440°C.
Main results
-Development of SEHUS technical details is ongoing -Adaptation & preparation of the production processes at demo sites to accept the SEHUS is ongoing -AI- enabled process control and optimization is being developed
