electricity
The Solar Thermal concept to produce energy, not to be confused with the Solar Photovoltaic, is the conversion of sunlight heat into electricity.
The thermodynamic principle at the heart of Solar Thermal facilities is the same across the different types of plant:
Sunlight rays are concentrated to heat fluid containers
High temperature fluid then supplies steam generators
Steam produced drives turbines which generate electricity
The Solar Photovoltaic concept for energy is the conversion of natural and artificial lights into electricity.
The photon, which is the energy vector contained in light rays, while hitting on the solar panel will produce what is called the Photovoltaic effect, a mix of heat and electronic stimulation.
This electronic stimulation will generate a movement of electrons in the solar cell and thus induce direct current electricity.
Definition Clean fuels appeared in the 1990s to refers to energies to be used in transportation applications as a substitute of the conventional diesel and gasoline. Since then the wording Clean Fuel has been adopted by refiners to designate the new diesel and gasoline developed to improve efficiency and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and […]

Definition: “PCIC Europe” stands for the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee in Europe. PCIC Europe was created in 2003 as the regional extension of PCIC North America, the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee of the IEEE in USA. Today is the premier European forum for the exchange of experience in the practical application of electricity and instrumentation in the petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, including all upstream and downstream activities.
