Analysis of solar thermal or thermosolar energy

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

So much you have put here I must confess which is awesome. I believe the solar energy importance to human world is still yet to be recognized fully and I believe as time goes on, it will surely be

Of course, this could be a new alternative that could be used in the not too distant future, since these are clean energies that are difficult to exhaust. Greetings and thanks for your support

Greetings @sandracarrascal, a good material that you offer us in this opportunity related to the generation of solar energy or thermosolar, we know that for years, the man is in search of all that energy called clean energy because it comes from natural sources as the one you mention on this occasion, it is important the development of such energy so that it represents for our environment, since through this it is possible to lower the high degree of pollution that generates those energy from fossil remains. Thank you for such important information. Successes.

If I agree with you, man has always sought these new technologies of clean renewable energy, which would help us control pollution in the environment and obtain energy naturally. Greetings friend and thank you for your great contribution.
