5. Energy flows and temperature ranges
  • Main heat supply system and fuel:
Gas and elextricity Steam-boiler: power 1.070 kWh Total energy demand: 2.200.000 kWh, whereof 480.000 kWh electricity and 1.720.000 kWh gas
Energy balance for the processes: 477.709,03 kWh


  • Energy consumption (Sankey):

6. Solar Thermal Plant
  • Used scheme and description:

Hydraulic scheme, which is the basis for the simulation:


Solar Thermal Plant-FSB Fässer (Austria).jpg


Description:

The solar thermal plant feeds a puffer-store, which is connected to a process-water store via a heat-exchanger. Fresh water and the warm reflux from the processes are fed into the process-water store. The average mix temperature in the store is 39,8 °C. The water in the process-water store is then heated up to 60°C via the heat-exchanger and the solar thermal plant. Warm water with 60°C can be taken continuously from the store for the processes. If there is not enough solar radiation, the boiler is used for supplying enough heat.


  • Performance of the simulated solar plant:

7. Energy savings

  • Pinch analysis results:

No information is available.


  • Energy savings:

Considering a total efficiency factor of 85 %, 110.200 kWh of gas would have to be provided, to get 93.700 kWh energy. The production of 93.700 kWh solar energy results in a saving of 3.527 €/year of fossil energy, if calculated with the present energy prices.

Energy balance for the processes: 477.709,03 kWh Energy saving potential with solar heat: 93.700 kWh


8. Economic evaluation
  • Economic parameters of the built solar system:


The economic evaluation was done for a combination of energy saving concepts (heat insulation, bio mass boiler…), not only for the solar integration described.
