Receiver design considerations for solar central receiver hydrogen production
Solar Energy, 1985Abstract The status of the Solar Central Receiver or Power Tower developments is briefly reviewed. with particular consideration given to the application of this technology to thermochemical hydrogen production. Emphasis is on the general considerations in the receiver-chemical reactor interface.

1986
The 500 kWe CRS plant has a north field of heliostats directing reflected solar energy to a tower mounted receiver. Thermal energy from the receivers is piped to a hot storage tank and then to a steam generator which produces superheated steam. This superheated steam is fed to a steam motor to produce mechanical energy to drive an electric generator ...

Central Receiver Plant Evaluation:
1988This report is part of the evaluation work carried out at Ecole Centrale on central receiver plants. THEMIS system peformance is evaluated with emphasis given to energy production. The daily energy production is established on the basis of both plant modelization and actual plant production results. This analysis is performed at different levels of the

Dynamic aiming strategy for central receiver systems
Renewable Energy, 2021Abstract Aiming strategies in central receiver systems search for an optimal assignment between heliostats and aim point on the receiver surface. In this work, we develop an accelerated aiming strategy which can be used for dynamic scenarios such as short-term environmental influences. The strategy bases on the linear formulation of the problem.

Control of Central Receiver Systems
2012This chapter deals with modeling and control problems associated to thermosolar plants with central receiver system. All the components of a typical installation are explained, including the collector subsystem, the receiver, storage and control system. The chapter next describes simulation models for the main subsystem. The heliostat offset correction

A 200kW central receiver CPV system
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2015Raygen Resources has recently completed a Central Receiver CPV (CSPV) pilot plant in Central Victoria, Australia. The system is under final commissioning and initial operation is expected in late April 2015. The pilot demonstrates a full scale CSPV repeatable unit in a form that is representative of a commercial product and provides a test bed to prove

Central Receiver Plant Evaluation: 3, THEMIS receiver subsystem evaluation
1988This report is part of the evaluation work carried out at Ecole Centrale on central receiver plants. The THEMIS receiver subsystem is evaluated with emphasis given to the energy performance problems. The report (1) describes the reasons for the choice of a molten cavity and its design points; (2) describes the receiver subsystem; (3) describes the ...

As may be seen from the schematic in Fig. 8, the CRS plant consists of a field of 93 heliostats which reflect the sun onto a heat capturing device called a “receiver”. The heliostats track the sun during the day keeping its image reflected onto the receiver aperture.

Evaluation of Air-Cooled Central Receivers
Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 1984Air-cooled central receiver systems could potentially reach higher temperatures than other near-term solar receivers (molten nitrate salt, liquid metal, and water/steam receivers, for example); however, air has low density and poor heat transfer properties.
