Thermal analysis of a heat pipe solar central receiver for concentrated solar power tower
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2016Abstract A novel heat pipe solar central receiver for a molten salt solar power tower is presented. The basic element consists of a reflector, heat pipe, and receiver tube. The reflector redirects concentrated sunlight from the heliostats field onto the evaporator section of the heat pipe.

Thermal analysis of a finned receiver for a central tower solar system
Renewable Energy, 2019Abstract In this study, a thermal analysis of a finned receiver prototype for a thermosolar tower system is presented. The experimental system consists of parallelepiped aluminum enclosure of 1.2 m high, 1.23 m wide and 0.1 m depth. At the interior, 1232 cylindrical fins with a diameter of 0.0095 m (3/8″) and 0.09 m length increases the heat transfer

Abstract In Afghanistan, more than 60% of the population does not have access to a reliable source of electrical energy. A thermo-economic analysis is conducted to compare the performance of a Photovoltaic (PV), Central Tower Receiver (CTR) plant and a Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) plant with and without storage for the city of Herat, in ...

COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCES OF `TOWER-TOP' AND `TOWER-REFLECTOR' CENTRAL SOLAR RECEIVERS
Solar Energy, 1999Abstract The optics of various types of solar tower configurations and receivers are analyzed. The power values that are finally available for the process, for a given field and different optical arrangements at specified operating temperatures (above 1100 K), are compared.

Solar flux density distributions on central tower receivers
Solar Energy, 1977An analytical formulation of the solar flux density distributions produced on the surface of a central tower receiver by large mirror fields is developed which accounts for dispersion, shading and screening effects of mirrors, and for degradation of insolation levels.

Modelling of a Central Tower Receiver Power Plant
2020To evaluate the performance of a central tower receiver power plant (CTRPP), a model is required to predict its energy output. Normally, the CTRPP performance depends on many physical parameters like site location, typical weather conditions, solar radiation incident angle, block factor, cosine factor, and shadow factor.

A Novel Design of Liquid Volumetric Plated Cavity Receiver for Central Tower Systems
Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 2020Abstract Previously reported studies have shown that the volumetric receivers have lower radiative and convective losses, leading to higher efficiency. However, the conventional volumetric receivers are difficult to use along with the thermal storage systems, owing to the use of air as the heat transfer fluid.
