Price Reduction of Solar Thermal Systems – Results of IEA SHC Task 54 (open to all registered EuroSun participants)

14:30 - 16:00
Organized by: Michael Köhl, Sandrin Seile with Task 54 experts
Room: 5.002

Workshop description:
The greatest challenges of the 21^st century to secure a sustainable energy supply and to considerably reduce CO₂ emissions cannot be reached without the significant growth of solar thermal markets worldwide. However, having the image of being too expensive to buy, too complex to install, too costly to maintain, solar thermal often loses the race against other offerings in today’s heating sector. How this trend can be reversed is one of the key questions of the SHC’s Task 54 “Price reduction of solar thermal systems”, which will be finished in October 2018. The final presentation of the results at EUROSUN 2018 will give information on the solar thermal value chain and highlight parts with the highest cost reduction potential. Task 54 experts explain economic and technological mechanisms that could change the price structure of current solar thermal systems decisively by help of practical examples.

Program:

• Introduction to the IEA SHC Task 54 "Price reduction of solar thermal systems"
  Dr. Michael Köhl, Fraunhofer ISE
  
• Calculating the heat costs for reference solar thermal systems using the levelised cost of heat (LCoH) method
  Yoann Louvet, Kassel University
  
• Improvements developed during the IEA SHC Task 54
  • New materials
    Dr. Michael Köhl, Fraunhofer ISE
  • Technical improvements
    Dr. Federico Giovannetti, ISFH
  • Non-technical improvements and learning curve issues (economic issues, marketing, etc.)
    Daniel Philippen, HSR-SPF / Dr. Daniel Mugnier, TECSOL
    
• Impact of the improvements developed during IEA SHC Task 54 on the levelised cost of heat (LcoH)
  Dr. Stephan Fischer, ITW
