Thermodynamic and economic analysis of a novel solar
The solar heating system for crude oil utilizes traditional oil heaters for preheating, coupled with renewable solar energy, to implement a low-carbon heating method.
Using TRNSYS software, the proposed Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC)-based solar heating system paired with the boiler is modelled. Sensible thermal energy storage (TES) system is integrated into the refinery's process heating to handle the intermittent nature of solar energy. It was discovered * Corresponding author. ** Corresponding author.
Other studies in the literature considered coupling solar energy systems to oil refineries to decarbonize their operation. The applicability and feasibility of introducing a concentrated solar power (CSP) system to reduce partial reliance on process heaters of a crude oil refinery was studied by Danish et al. .

Hydrogen is a significant raw material in petrochemical hydrogenation process (e.g., hydrocracking, hydrotreating), whereas steam has multiple uses within a refinery. Other studies on solar-thermal-assisted refineries are summarized here as follows. In Absi Halabi et al., the application of solar energy in the oil industry is reviewed.
