SOLAR HEATING SYSTEMS AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Question 1

What are the three parts of solar heating?

Answer 1

Solar Power
Concentration

Solar Thermal for
Heating

Economics of Solar
Power Systems

Question 2

What is is a
technology that uses mirrors or lenses
to concentrate sunlight onto a small
area, typically onto a receiver where it is
converted into heat or electricity.

Answer 2

Concentrating Solar Power

Question 3

What are the Four Main Types of Concentrating Solar Power?

Answer 3

1. Parabolic Trough Systems
2. Power Tower Systems
3. Dish Stirling Systems
4. Fresnel Reflectors

Question 4

What is Use curved, trough-shaped mirrors to
concentrate sunlight onto a receiver tube running along the focal line of
the trough. The concentrated sunlight heats a fluid within the receiver
tube, which is then used to generate steam and produce electricity via a
turbine.?

Answer 4

Parabolic Trough Systems

Question 5

What Use an array of flat, movable mirrors called heliostats
to reflect sunlight onto a central receiver tower. The concentrated sunlight
heats a fluid or molten salt in the receiver at the top of the tower, which is
then used to generate steam and produce electricity.

Answer 5

Power Tower Systems

Question 6

What Consist of a large dish-shaped mirror (parabolic dish) that focuses sunlight onto a receiver at the dish’s focal point. The
receiver contains a Stirling engine, which converts the concentrated sunlight
into mechanical energy and then into electricity?

Answer 6

Dish Stirling Systems -

Question 7

what Use flat mirrors arranged in a series of long, narrow strips
to concentrate sunlight onto a receiver tube located at the focal line of the
reflectors. The concentrated sunlight heats a fluid within the receiver tube,
which is then used to generate steam and produce electricity.?

Answer 7

Fresnel Reflectors -
