Use of Solar Installations as a Way to Reduce Low Emissions

Abstract

The paper presents the application of solar heating installation as an element contributing to the production of heat in a traditional coal heating plant. To reduce emissions from furnaces of individual households, it is advisable to opt out of this type of heating and, where possible, to connect to a central heating system fed from a heating plant. In this way, the fragmented heat generation, where control of the combustion process is ineffective, will be replaced by central heat generation where the local community’s nuisance is limited and the combustion process is controlled. In addition, the use of solar installations reduces the amount of coal burned and thus reduces harmful emissions. Renewable energy sources are characterized by the randomness of their use. It is often the case that potential uses (wind, sun) do not coincide with the time of energy demand. A solar installation working as a auxiliary element of coal boilers seems to be a good way to address the above mentioned deficiency of renewable energy.
