Economic evaluation of towers for central receiver systems [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018 So far, the tower is probably the most under-investigated component of solar thermal power tower plants. While the capacity of these plants is constantly increasing, also the tower dimensions are rising, calling for higher towers that can bear receivers of bigger size and weight.

Models of transient heat transfer for central tower receivers: A review [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020 Solar Power Tower (SPT) receivers are the most critical component of a SPT power plant, as they receive high incident solar flux on their external face while having a corrosive environment on their internal side. Due to the transient nature of solar energy, a steady-state analysis does not accurately reflect the stresses on the receiver.

Numerical Analysis of a Solar Tower Receiver Novel Design [PDF]
, 2020 Efficient operation of thermal solar power plants is strongly dependent on the central receiver design. In particular, as the receiver tube determines the temperature behavior inside the receiver, its geometry proves to be the main factor affecting the ...

Development of an Elevation–Fresnel Linked Mini-Heliostat Array
Energies, 2020 Heliostats are critical components of solar tower technology and different strategies have been proposed to reduce their costs; among them diminishing their size to reduce wind loads or linking nearby heliostats mechanically, to reduce the overall number

Thermoeconomic Analysis of Concentrated Solar Power Plants Based on Supercritical Power Cycles
Applied Sciences, 2023 Solar thermal power plants are an alternative for the future energy context, allowing for a progressive decarbonisation of electricity production. One way to improve the performance of such plants is the use of supercritical CO2 power cycles.

Reliability Analysis of Solar-Gas Hybrid Receivers for Central Tower Plants
Energy Procedia, 2015 A novel Solar-Gas Hybrid Receiver (SGHR) that combines the function of a solar receiver and a gas boiler in a single device is presented. This concept requires less equipment and maintenance compared to the Solar Gas Hybrid (SGH) concept, in which the boiler and the solar receiver (SR) are independent devices.

Optical and radiation considerations in bladed receiver designs for central tower systems [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019 The bladed receiver is a promising concept for improving performance of traditional external receivers in commercial-scale central tower systems due to its light-trapping benefits for reducing reflections and thermal emission. This study reviews the optical and thermal radiation considerations in its design.
