Abstract:
Renewable energies are inexhaustible and reusable sources of energy. They originate from natural elements such as wind, waterfalls, tides, and the sun. The latter plays a crucial role in the functioning of solar ponds, which act as thermal collectors by absorbing and storing solar heat and then transferring it to a heat transfer fluid. Optimizing thermal transfer is essential in these processes. Our research explores the use of solar panels to improve the efficiency of solar ponds by increasing their solar absorption capacity. This modeling will help identify the key parameters that influence the performance of the ponds, allowing us to propose recommendations for their optimal design and operation. Two major aspects were studied: a practical aspect focused on the panels and a modeling aspect focused on the ponds. Ultimately, this work aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of solar energy by proposing innovative and efficient solutions for capturing and storing solar energy.
