What is a solar powered boiler?

A solar powered boiler, specifically the SolarGen® Series by Victory Energy, is a boiler that harnesses the clean, renewable, and radiant energy of the sun to produce superheated steam at typical utility pressures and temperatures. Victory Energy introduced the first industrial/utility natural circulating solar powered boiler with this new technology.

What is a SolarGen boiler?

The SolarGen® Series boiler, introduced by Victory Energy, is a new industrial/utility natural circulating boiler that harnesses the clean, renewable, and radiant energy of the sun to produce superheated steam at typical utility pressures and temperatures.

Can a combined power and steam system be integrated with solar photovoltaic/thermal collectors?

This paper proposes a combined power and steam system integrated with solar photovoltaic/thermal collectors. The system uses solar energy and natural gas to generate electricity and recovers waste heat from the internal combustion engine and solar collectors to produce steam through the absorption heat transformer.

What is photovoltaic energy generation?

Energy generation from photovoltaic technology is simple, reliable, available everywhere, in-exhaustive, almost maintenance free, clean and suitable for off-grid applications.

Can a solar boiler provide steam to a power block?

A solar boiler can provide steam to the preheating stages of a power block in order to reduce the steam extraction from the turbine. The focus of the investigation is the evaluation of the potential of using not just a single but several points of supply for solar steam generation.

Are solar-boilers the future of water resource management?

Solar-boilers may be the future of water resource management for effective and competitive applications, such as solar cooling and solar power. However, the ultimate success of solar technology depends on when it achieves an economic and perhaps political advantage over alternatives, such as geothermal.
