This case study examines the possibility of generating, by a solar industrial process heating plant, the thermal energy required annually by an existing factory in Sicily (Italy) that produces durum wheat pasta. A TRNSYS model has been developed in order to simulate the energy performance of a described plant with the aim of optimizing the design of the solar heat for industrial process systems.
