EbsSolar – harnessing the sun, day and night
Developed in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), EbsSolar is equipped with the components necessary to design a solar field down to the smallest detail. The module’s added value lies primarily in its ability to compare and contrast locations and help you select the latest and most suitable technology. EbsSolar is also a proven and powerful tool for calculating annual output.
For example, it can model a liquid salt storage tank using the typical heat transfer fluids like thermal oil, steam, and liquid salt, which are stored in its material data library. The application can also use the indirect storage model to calculate the temporarily variable temperature field for the storage material.
EbsSolar’s components include solar collectors, distributing headers, collecting headers, the heliostat field, and the solar tower.
