3.2.1 Absorption and Energy Conversion of a Photon. When light illuminates a solar cell, the semiconductor material absorbs photons; thereby, pairs of free electrons and holes are created (see Fig. 3.1).However, in order to be absorbed, the photon must have an energy E ph = hν (where h is Planck''s constant and ν the frequency of light) higher or at least equal to …
Tailored control valves for solar applications Because of the unfavorable operating conditions in which they operate, control valves have a significant influence on the safety and availability of a solar power plant. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind when evaluating piping system components.
They have the role of maintaining the flow, the pressure or the temperature. These valves have to be compatible with the properties of the fluids used to transfer the heat from the solar field to the plant power conversion system, or with those used to store the energy for the non-sunny periods.
Special valves for solar thermal power plants. Tests and designs Control valves constitute a critical component in a concentrated solar thermal power plant. They have the role of maintaining the flow, the pressure or the temperature.
The first part will focus on how specially tailored control valves can overcome the challenges inherent in solar power production. Solar energy is a viable alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear power. It’s safe, climate-friendly and plentiful, especially in the Earth’s sun belt.
The hydraulic pressure is used to hold the valve open and compress a powerful, self-contained spring. If valve closure is required, hydraulic pressure is released and the spring quickly closes the valve, preventing further loss of product. These are just two examples of the hundreds of viable applications for solar-powered valve actuators.
An important factor when considering solar power for valve actuation applications is the potential for leaks. If the equipment is not properly designed for the environment, operating conditions, and pressure and temperature cycling, hydraulic systems can leak. In addition, the fluid itself needs attention.
