A Review of High‐Temperature Molten Salt for Third‐Generation Concentrating Solar Power

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 456-474, February 2025.
Our review explores molten salts suitable for third‐generation concentrating solar power (CSP) systems, focusing on carbonates, chlorides, and sulfates. We examine their thermal properties and explore how nanoparticles enhance their heat storage capacity.

Dynamic Wind Loading of Heliostats

SolarPACES Conference Proceedings
A method for the design of heliostats considering dynamic wind loads is presented. The transient FEM simulation is based on a CAD model of the heliostat and a pressure distribution time series measured in a wind tunnel.

Detection of Atmospheric Cherenkov Radiation Using Solar Heliostat Mirrors

, 1996
The gamma-ray energy region between 20 and 250 GeV is largely unexplored. Ground-based atmospheric Cherenkov detectors offer a possible way to explore this region, but large Cherenkov photon collection areas are needed to achieve low energy thresholds ...

From research to industry: Development of a high-resolution measurement system for mirrored heliostats in series production

SOLARPACES 2018: International Conference on Concentrating Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems, 2019
A new measurement system able to measure the shape accuracy of complete mirrored heliostat modules in series production was developed. The applied deflectometry measurement method is based on the reflection of regular patterns in the mirror surface and ...

Thermodynamic Assessment of Solar‐Powered Hydrogen Production Using Hybrid Power Cycles

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The rise in global energy demand amid growing concerns over climate change from fossil fuel emissions has made decarbonization a necessity. However, some industries are difficult to decarbonize with conventional renewable energy systems. Green hydrogen offers a clean path to decarbonizing these industries, but more than 80% of global hydrogen is not ...

5G as Communication Platform for Solar Tower Plants

SolarPACES Conference Proceedings
Wiring of heliostat fields for solar tower plants is a cost factor that becomes more important as the overall cost target is decreasing. Wireless heliostats with radio communication and autarchic energy supply have therefore been proposed in the past ...

A heuristic method for simultaneous tower and pattern-free field optimization on solar power systems [PDF]

, 2015
A heuristic method for optimizing a solar power tower system is proposed, in which both heliostat field (heliostat locations and number) and the tower (tower height and receiver size) are simultaneously considered.
