La sociedad exige productos que tengan ciertas garantías de sus prestaciones, de acuerdo a sus especificaciones y al desarrollo tecnológico. El sector de las energías renovables en general, y de la energía solar térmica de baja temperatura en particular, presenta grandes ventajas para la sociedad desde múltiples puntos de vista: medioambiental,...

La presente invención tiene por objeto un captador solar plano con tubos de peróxido de silicona huecos con un gas en su interior, colocados en el interior de su absorbedor que permite mejorar el funcionamiento de los captadores solares térmicos planos cu

The utilization of solar energy based technologies has attracted increased interest in recent times in order to satisfy the energy demands in buildings. This research work presents a comparative analysis of the energy production and costs of factory made solar heating systems, Thermosiphon Solar Water Heaters Systems (TSWHS) and...

The freeze protection is essential in the majority of solar thermal installations to prevent breakage of solar thermal collectors. Therefore, there are different methods of protection against freezing of flat plate solar thermal collectors, all of them with certain limitations. This paper shows a novel freeze protection mechanism in the solar...

The analysis of degradation mechanisms of photovoltaic (PV) modules is key to ensure its current lifetime and the economic feasibility of PV systems. Field operation is the best way to observe and detect all type of degradation mechanisms. This paper presents the main signs of degradation on 56 m-Si PV modules caused by outdoor exposure after a...

This work deals with the application of femtosecond-laser-inscribed fiber Bragg gratings (FsFBGs) for monitoring the internal high-temperature surface distribution (HTSD) in solar receivers of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. The fiber-optic sensor system is composed of 12 FsFBGs measuring points distributed on an area of 0.4 m2 , which...
