A Regenerative Heat Storage System for Central Receiver Technology Working with Atmospheric Air
Energy Procedia, 2014 AbstractSolar thermal power plants (STPP) are focused on reducing costs while increasing performance. In this context central receiver (CR) technology working with volumetric receiver shows a high potential to improve efficiencies by allowing higher operating temperatures. This technology requires the implementation of efficient thermal energy storage (
