READ MORESolar power is the flow of energy from the sun. The primary forms of solar energy are heat and light. Sunlight and heat are transformed and absorbed by the environment in a multitude of ways. Some of these transformations result in renewable energy flows such as biomass, wind and waves. Effects such as the jet stream, the Gulf
READ MOREAs seen in the previous section, solar energy is the oldest energy source ever used. The Sun was also adored by many ancient civilizations as a powerful God. The first-known practical application was drying for preserving food [].The idea of using solar energy collectors to harness the sun''s power is recorded from the prehistoric times,
READ MOREIn order to ensure stable thermal energy loads from the solar field as per the plant capacity, the solar field area is oversized using a factor called the solar multiple (SM) considering annual plant efficiency as the basis. Typically, SM is 1.3 for plants with no thermal energy storage for locations with annual DNI of 1600 kWh/m 2 /kWh [36], [38].
