Hybrid Solar Cooling Concept

As part of the SolarHybrid project, functional models for an ammonia/water (NH3/H2O) single-/half-effect (SE/HE) absorption chiller were adapted based on the previous DAKtris project and a new NH3 compression chiller was built.

PURIX Solar Cooling System

PURIX provides sustainable cooling technologies, leveraging R718 (water), a natural, non-flammable refrigerant, to develop environmentally friendly air conditioning and cooling systems.

Task65 - Solar Akademie - SACREEE

The IEA SHC Solar Academy and SOLTRAIN (Southern African Solar Thermal Training and Demonstration Initiative) hosted with the support of SACREEE and SANEDI a specialized course for professionals on Solar Cooling for Sunbelt Regions at Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study in South Africa. A total of 46 participants from 7 countries took part, with around 8 of them participating virtually. https://task65.iea-shc.org/Data/Sites/1/publications/IEA-SHC-Solar-Update--Solar-Academy-SACREEE.pdf

IEA-PVPS Task 1 Expert Group in front of the Norwegian PV-Wafer production NorSun

The IEA-PVPS Task 1 Expert Group during the technical visit in front of the Nor Sun wafer factory building in Ardalstangen/Norway. Due to strong Chinese competition in PV wafer production, this plant had to be shut down in 2023; as part of the European Net Zero Industry Act, it should be possible to resume production.

Icing on structures on the nacelle of a wind turbine

Webcam image of superstructures on the nacelle of a wind turbine with recognizable icing, which corresponds to the structure and consistency of clear ice directly on the structures and changes to hard rime as it progresses. The turbine is located at a test site of the Nergica center of applied research in eastern Canada. The webcam image is part of a dataset in the “Task 54 Icing Event Database”.

Modeled performance envelopes of rotor blade heating systems

Modeled performance envelopes as curves depending on wind speed and ambient temperature for different values of liquid water content (LWC) and surface temperature of the rotor blade. The curves were calculated with the “Task 54 Performance Envelope Model”.

Dimensions of flexible bioenergy in biobased value chains.

Dimensions of flexible bioenergy along the value chain. In this diagram, operational flexibility in space and time is broken down along the value chain. Flexibility on the procurement side is shown on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, the flexibility on the consumer side is shown. On the procurement side, there are two representative boxes, one for raw materials with symbols such as manure buckets and cow manure, and one for storage, with a symbol for biogas storage. On the consumer side, there are two representative boxes, one for energy sources with the symbol for wood and one for products and services with symbols for electricity, heating, goods and passenger transportation.

The network of flexible bioenergy technologies in biomass-related energy conversions

Network of flexible bioenergy technologies and biomass conversion technologies. Four sections are distinguished from left to right along the value chain. Raw materials, intermediate products, energy sources and applications. The raw materials are divided into wet and dry biomass. The intermediate products are subdivided into product gas, biogas and pyrolysis oil. The energy sources are subdivided into liquid fuels, methane and LNG, pellets, biochar, wood chips and stabilized pyrolysis oil. The applications are divided into chemical substances, transportation and mobility, flexible electricity and (stored) heat. An additional arrow indicates that the value chain does not end with the application. CO2 is again a raw material that can be stored or used. CO2 is also produced between the step from intermediate products to energy carriers. Hydrogen from volatile renewables can also be added in this intermediate step. The diagram uses colored arrows to illustrate which supply chains are already established, which are in the demonstration phase, and which are still being developed. Wet biomass via biogas for transportation and electricity is an established chain. So is dry biomass, which is used as pellets or wood chips or through gasification for electricity and heat. Pyrolysis oil, but also liquid fuels from solid biomass for chemical substances or transportation are in the demonstration phase. The use of wet biomass for liquid fuels or for conversion into solid fuels are still underdeveloped supply chains.
