Abstract

According to the last European directions (Energy roadmap 2030, 2050), it would be necessary the structural changes in chemical processes. This would not concerns only to the installation of new sustainable technologies, even the improvement of existing sites in terms of traditional energy efficiency and use of renewable energy under the traditional process industry. This research shows the potential of dynamic simulation for structural changes based on the control the temperature and sizing of thermal energy storage concentrated solar plant and enhancement of chemical processes using the renewable resources; where we can have a tangible benefits. Designing of new components or improving them to achieve more energy from the low cost resource, may require more challenges in simulation especially in dynamic situation. The selected case especially consists of a dynamic simulation of a solar concentrating plant (CSP) with molten salt and the respective size energy storage. Storage system should be considered as the efficiency source for system and reducing the cost of energy. However, each change which meets these aspects could be beneficial for process economically. These storages allow the constant operation of high pressure steam, starting from a source such as discontinuous sunlight, thus allowing operations to supply heat continuously, typical process industry.
