1. Solar cavity receiver design for a dish-Stirling system
Sammanfattning : The growing concern for the climate change has led to an increasing research effort in renewable energy technologies in order to achieve a more sustainable electricity production. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is identified as a promising technology to deal with part of the future electricity production. LÄS MER
2. Improving Concentrating Solar Power Plant Performance through Steam Turbine Flexibility
Sammanfattning : The amount of incoming solar energy to earth is greater than any other source. Among existing technologies to harness solar energy there is concentrating solar power (CSP). One advantage of CSP is that is dispatchable, meaning that it can provide power even when the sun is not shining. LÄS MER
3. Solar receiver development for gas-turbine based solar dish systems
Sammanfattning : Small-scale concentrating solar power plants such as micro gas-turbine based solar dish systems have the potential to harness solar energy in an effective way and supply electricity to customers in remote areas. In such systems, the solar receiver transfers the power of concentrated solar radiation to the working fluid of the power conversion cycle. LÄS MER
4. A Techno-Economic Framework for the Analysis of Concentrating Solar Power Plants with Storage
Sammanfattning : Concentrating solar power plants can integrate cost-effective thermal energy storage systems and thereby supply controllable power on demand, an advantage against other renewable technologies. Storage integration allows a solar thermal power plant to increase its load factor and to shift production to periods of peak demand. LÄS MER
5. Development of a Novel Gas Turbine Simulator for Hybrid Solar-Brayton Systems
Sammanfattning : Hybrid solar-Brayton systems utilize both solar thermal energy and supplementary renewable fuels to provide controllable and dispatchable power output, which renders them a promising way to meet the growing energy demand and reduce the carbon footprints. However, existing testing facilities for key components in such hybrid systems often fail to accomplish the testing requirements, hence impeding the improvement of the renewable energy share and the overall efficiency.
