DESCRIPTION
The Computer Controlled Focusing Solar Energy Collector, “ECESC”, shows the principles of a parabolic trough to collect solar energy.
The unit includes a highly polished stainless steel parabolic reflector on a mobile base. It can be horizontally and vertically adjusted so that solar energy is focused on an energy collector from different positions. The reflector includes a pyranometer to measure the incident solar radiation.
Five interchangeable energy collectors of different sizes are included to study different concentration ratios. One of them has a special black coating to study its effect. Each one has a “J” type temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the collector. Additionally, another insulating glass collector with vacuum coating is included to study the effect of a shielded collector.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
GUIDED PRACTICAL EXERCISES INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL
- Demostración del funcionamiento de un colector cilíndrico solar.
- Estudio de los diferentes niveles de concentración de energía según el tamaño del colector.
- Comparar los niveles de concentración de energía de un cilindro normal y uno con pantalla aislante.
- Medida de las temperaturas máximas alcanzadas por los colectores de energía.
- Optimización y ajuste de un reflector parabólico para conseguir altos niveles de concentración.
MORE PRACTICAL EXERCISES TO BE DONE WITH THE UNIT
- Sensors calibration.
Other possibilities to be done with this Unit:
- Many students view results simultaneously. To view all results in real time in the classroom by means of a projector or an electronic whiteboard.
- Open Control, Multicontrol and Real Time Control. This unit allows intrinsically and/or extrinsically to change the span, gains, proportional, integral, derivative parameters, etc, in real time.
- The Computer Control System with SCADA allows a real industrial simulation.
- This unit is totally safe as uses mechanical, electrical/electronic, and software safety devices.
- This unit can be used for doing applied research.
- This unit can be used for giving training courses to Industries even to other Technical Education Institutions.
- Control of the ECESC unit process through the control interface box without the computer.
- Visualization of all the sensors values used in the ECESC unit process.
- Several other exercises can be done and designed by the user.
