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.
Conclusion The present study investigates the feasibility of solar hybrid system to generate steam in the oil refinery to maintain the temperature of heavy crude oil products before despatching from storage tanks. Due to the intermittent behaviour of solar energy, the solar hybrid system is integrated with a sensible heat storage tank.
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. .
The amount of fuel and cost savings by the integration of a solar hybrid system into the refinery and the payback period of the system by using different types of fuel in the furnace are shown in Table 6. Table 6. Payback period of the proposed system by using different fuel.
The benchmarks are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to typical PV and energy storage system configurations and installation practices. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not necessarily represent typical costs in all local markets.
For instance, many residential customers finance their PV systems, but the benchmarks exclude financing costs, which can represent around 20% of reported market prices. For further research on the complexity of PV markets and reported market prices, see Gillingham et al. (2016) and Barbose et al. (2021a).
Co-locating the PV and storage subsystems produces cost savings by reducing costs related to site preparation, permitting and interconnection, installation labor, hardware (via sharing of hardware such as switchgears, transformers, and controls), overhead, and profit.

Private equity and venture capital investments in the battery energy storage system, energy management and energy storage sector so far in 2024 have exceeded 2023's levels and are on pace to reach one of the highest annual totals in five years.
The industrial sector secured the most battery energy storage system deals, followed closely by the energy and utility sector. In the largest transaction, battery storage company NineDot Holdings Inc. raised $225 million in a round of funding led by Manulife Investment Management Ltd., with participation from existing backer The Carlyle Group Inc.
"The major driving force behind this investment trend is the market itself," Mani said, citing growth in electric vehicles, increased demand from AI-driven datacenters and a growing recognition of battery energy storage systems in addressing renewable energy needs.
Global energy storage installations are projected to grow by 76% in 2025, reaching 69 GW/169 GWh, driven by surging electricity demand, especially from electric vehicle adoption and data center expansion. The latter alone is expected to account for 44% of U.S. electricity load growth through 2028.
