Analysis of solar thermal or thermosolar energy

(Edited)

When we refer to solar thermal or thermosolar energy we say that this is an energy that we take advantage of through solar radiation, in this way we produce heat which can be used for domestic consumption, heating, we also use it for the production of mechanical.

The thermal solar energy are renewable energies and at the same time sustainable in the time, that are going to help us to obtain clean and easy energetic advantages that are going to have a respectful operation with the environment, these forms of obtaining this energy we can apply them in the houses of difficult surplus to the electricity, with what we can determine that three types of solar energy exist.

  • High temperature energies. For solar thermal power plants due to the generation of electricity by high temperatures above 500 ºC (773 kelvin)

  • Average temperature energy. These are energies by means of devices which concentrate solar radiation and thus obtain higher temperatures between 100 and 300 ºC.

  • Low temperature energy. These can be given in cases of installations in homes are working with a temperature below 65 º C

Who is solar thermal energy?

The solar thermal energy is a technological source where we can generate electricity, through thermal energy, which comes from rays that the sun emits, this type of energy is also given the name of thermoelectric energy, which is a process where electricity will be generated which will be taken to the solar thermal power plants that were built many years ago.

What is the operation of a solar thermal power plant?

The operation of this plant is based on the distinctive elements and fuels or heat sources, in the thermal power plants are used a variety of fossil fuels such as coal or gas and thus we can generate heat and also influence the solar radiation.

The solar radiation is concentrated through a mirror which is used as a receiver that reaches high temperatures an average of 1,000 degrees Celsius, this energy is heated and at the same time can heat a fluid and generate a steam that will have a high pressure which will allow you to move a steam turbine which at the same time is responsible for converting mechanical energy into electricity.

All the processes of energy according to the law of conservation are transformed what means that electricity is not created, example of them we have that, a thermal energy is the atoms that compose the sun, which is transformed into nuclear energy, this energy is going to travel to the Earth and to form the electromagnetic energy, and it is going to be transformed into calorific energy at the moment of impacting with the collectors or solar breads it is going to be converted into mechanical energy

Hello @sandracarrascal
I have recently written a post regarding solar energy and its use in other areas.
This you explain, is one of those ways I didn't know it was used, but it's very interesting. It can help create clean energy, and that is very important, more and more.

Hello @josevas217

This topic of photovoltaic energy is becoming more interesting to study, since they are energies that we can take advantage of through solar radiation, which we can use for domestic consumption, which are renewable and clean energies difficult to exhaust, Greetings for your contribution and commentary

It is important to use them instead of oil for our cars.

Hello dear friend @sandracarrascal, renewable energy is a sustainable alternative , which allows us to use our natural resources in a balanced way. In our country Venezuela with the precarious situation of the electrical system, it is seen as an alternative.

See you later friend, have an excellent week!

Hello, excellent publication. Creating electrical energy through solar energy is an excellent option that allows us to obtain a benefit without negatively affecting our environment. In Venezuela, where certain states do not have electricity service and coupled with the growing domestic gas problem, a project of these characteristics is seen as an excellent alternative.

Greetings @sandracarrascal, I loved your article, it is always nice to read about the generation of energy from natural sources such as this that you mention on this occasion, we know that the reserves of hydrocarbons are finite and also tato its extraction as its use generates pollution to our environment, that is why the great value of energy called clean as it is the solar, thanks for so important information. Successes.
