Professionals and project developers interested in implementing or understanding collective solar thermal energy systems.
TL;DR
This webinar introduces SOCOL tools designed to support collective solar thermal energy projects. It covers resources for project initiation, design, installation, and maintenance, including a dynamic schematic library and a technico-economic evaluation tool.
Key Takeaways
- The SOCOL initiative offers a suite of free, accessible tools on its website to support collective solar thermal projects from initial planning through to operation and maintenance.
- Tools are organized according to the five key stages of a project: initiation, team selection, design, realization/commissioning, and monitoring/operation.
- The 'Outil Sol' tool helps validate the technical and economic feasibility of a project by providing preliminary sizing and cost estimations, including potential subsidies.
- A dynamic 'schémathèque' (diagram library) offers professionally validated principle diagrams for collective solar thermal systems, adaptable to specific project needs.
- Resources include exemplary operation sheets, videos for feedback, and regional contact points to guide project developers and stakeholders.
- Specific tools are available for design phases, aiding engineering offices with calculations, dimensioning, and system-specific guides.
- Emphasis is placed on the importance of dynamic commissioning and ongoing performance monitoring, with dedicated tools available for these crucial stages.
