EVOLUTION OF SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTION PROCESS

New process
New heliostation
Traditional process
Known heliostation

ADVANTAGES

• Reducing of fabrication costs due to the possibility to attract the local companies for station manufacturing
• Simple design: proposed station implies the using of parabolic framework covered with the reflecting layer and the film, tubular receiver of solar energy installed in the framework focus. The preliminary heating of heat bearer is depending on the velocity of its passing through the tubular receiver.
• Materials savings, higher production efficiency
• Increase of the equipment efficiency by 10 % due to the using of parabolic framework
• Heliostation can be used both for generation of thermal and electric power
• Can be used during the cold season when the solar power is low
• Water can be heated to 100o C

Current stage of development - Laboratory and field tests, equipment is ready for demonstrations

Where was applied - Sport Center of the State University of Moldova for water heating

Desired collaboration - Partnership, investments, commercialization of final product
