Which approach is used for providing solar energy?
Approach used for providing solar energy includes the utilisation of a solar tower system with a solar reactor atop the solar tower or preheater tower in a conventional cement plant. Analysis considered thermal energy substitution ranging from 100% to 50%.
Can solar energy be used in cement manufacturing?
Gonzalez and Flamant (2013) designed a hybrid model that uses solar and fossil fuel energy to fulfill the thermal energy requirement for cement manufacturing. Concentrated solar thermal (CST) is a potential replacement for 40%–100% of the thermal energy needed in a conventional cement plant.
Can solar energy be used for calcination of cement?
This study shows that it is feasible to implement concentrated solar energy for the calcination process of cement production. Solar resource for the chosen plant location permits operation for an average of 12 h per day. 9 h of these 12 h are useable, with the remaining 3 h being utilized to heat up and cool down the solar reactor.
Can a solar power system save CO2 in cement industry?
Concentrated solar power system is designed for cement industry. Substitution of required thermal energy ranging from 100% to 50% is studied. 7600 heliostats with 570 ha land required for 50% conventional energy replacement with solar energy. Selected conventional cement plant could save 419 thousand tons of CO 2 annually.
