The slogan “Heat is half” is of importance to keep in mind that nearly 50 % of the final energy use is in the form of heat. The global efforts for future decarbonised heating systems are based on hydrogen and electrification of heating etc. Solar thermal technology is a key component of greener industrial heating solutions. Solar thermal technologies for process heating application has decade long history of implementation and are gaining significant interest from all around the world. The performance prediction of solar thermal technologies on the system level is more complicated compared to photovoltaic, due to the effect of performance on system boundary conditions such as variation in meteorological parameters, load demand, temperature levels, thermal storage type. The central focus of this paper is on the use of a parabolic trough collector (PTC) for process heating applications in the medium temperature range. The aim of this paper is to map the performance of PTC collector into an industrial system, and to analyse the decrease in collector thermal output from component level to system level. The simulations are implemented in TRNSYS and MATLAB. The results are visualized using QGIS tool to generate the heat map for performance parameters for a range of solar fractions.
