Title: COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) THE SOLAR WAVE OF THE FUTURE

COMBINEDHEAT AND POWER(CHP)THE SOLAR WAVE OF
THE FUTURE

2
Combined Heat Power (CHP)A Subset of
Concentrating Solar
HD Solar
  • So whats Concentrating Solar?
  • Big area of focus or reflector, small area of
    receiver
  • Existing systems use the heat to make
    electricity
  • Solar 2 (tower, decomd) SEGS (trough,
    working) Dish Stirling (in dev)

3
How do these Concentrating Solar systems harvest
the heat energy?
HD Solar
  • Receivers
  • Tower (molten salt!) from reflecting heliostats
  • heat to steam to turbine electricity
  • Thermal tubes of hot oil from reflecting
    troughs
  • heat to steam to turbine electricity
  • Dish Stirling Stirling engine drives a
  • turbine directly. 25kW per unit.

4
Whats good about these systems?
HD Solar
  1. Utility Scale Concentrating systems can and do
    deliver solar power to the grid
  2. Lots of sunny (windy) desert space available

But, heres the down side. 1) The technology
needs big systems to work - very costly 2) Big
arrays need extra wheeling capacity (power lines)
to deliver the power to the grid.
5
Is there a smaller technology?
HD Solar
  • Yes, indeed! Heres a simple system that uses
    flat plate glass mirrors mounted on to a
    laser-cut steel structure that keeps the sun
    focused on the receiver all day. It can deliver
    heat, or heat and pv electricity together,
    directly to the end user.

6
Thats Combined Heat and Power! CHPCHP not
only concentrates the the sun to make heat,But
also uses PV cells to make electricity, at the
same time!So, instant electricity, no matter
what the system size.
HD Solar
  • How it works just like the big systems -
  • big area of reflectors, small area of
    receivers
  • How does it make the electricity?
  • The system mounts the pv cells, modified so
    they can carry a lot of current, to the underside
    of the receiver.

And, because of its simplicity of design, it can
be installed anywhere that the energy is needed.
Its DISTRIBUTABLE.
7
And what about the heat?
HD Solar
  • Thats where the real energy savings come in.
  • If you have a use for the heat, the capital cost
    barrier that has stood in the way of solar power
    for all these years IS REMOVED.
  • So how can we use the heat?
  • Hot water for hospitals, labs, industries
  • Drive a Chiller for refrigeration and cooling
  • Hot water for schools and gymnasia
  • What do you need? What do you want?

8
So where does CHP fit in todays world?
HD Solar
  • Three configurations available
  • Combined electric Power and Heat
  • (true CHP, up to 90C hot water)
  • Heat only receiver has no pv cells,
  • industrial grade heat up to 160C
  • Electricity only GaAs cells, 300x concn.
  • Ideal for large energy parks

9
Some Applications
HD Solar
  1. Air conditioning in a private home
  2. Organic Brewery Coop
  3. Napa Valley Mobile Home Park
  4. Food processor
  5. Hospital hot water
  6. Retirement Community air conditioning
  7. University Building and parking lot
