Energy and exergy analysis of solar power tower plants

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2011
Establishing the renewable electricity contribution from solar thermal power systems based on energy analysis alone cannot legitimately be complete unless the exergy concept becomes a part of that analysis. This paper presents a theoretical framework for the energy analysis and exergy analysis of the solar power tower system using molten salt as the ...

Modeling of Solar Updraft Tower Power Plants: A Review

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Engineering Applications, 2022
Solar updraft tower power plants, or SUTPP, are thermal power plants consisting of three parts: a solar collector, a power conversion unit (turbine), and a solar chimney. Different configurations of SUTPP models were presented in the previous studies. However, the type used in the modelling of SUTPP elements with the variables used is not highlighted.

Cloud detection system for a solar power tower plant

IEEE 2002 28th Annual Conference of the Industrial Electronics Society. IECON 02, 2003
In this paper a cloud detection system for the operation of solar power tower plants is shown. The presence of clouds is detected at a region next to the sun, which is fundamental in order to preserve the integrity of the solar central receiver, which is located at the top of the tower of these solar plants.

System Performance Estimation for a Solar Tower Power Plant

2008
The objective of this paper is to develop a program to investigate 1MWe solar thermal power plant(STPP). In order to design the actual system with various conditions, the program development to predict the performance of system is essential. This program is coded by using commercial software, Visual Basic 6.0.

Multi-field Solar Thermal Power Plant with Linear Fresnel Reflector and Solar Power Tower

2020
The Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR) system with direct steam generation (DSG) has lower capital cost owing to flat mirror and less construction requirements. Its optical efficiency, concentration ratio, and maximum temperature reached are lower compared to other concentrated solar technologies.

Solar Particle Tower Technology for Metallurgical Applications and Solarizing Coal Power Plants

Light, Energy and the Environment 2015, 2015
A particle based solar tower system with storage for temperatures up to 1000°C can economically replace electricity in metallurgical applications like induction furnaces or heat treatment facilities or replace coal in baseload electricity plants.

Mirror fields for tower-type solar power plants

Electric Power Systems Research, 1980
Abstract To obtain, in a receiver C, a point image of parallel rays tilted at an angle ψ with respect to the normal at the mirror centre S, the mirror surface must be a portion of a paraboloid having its focus in C, and its axis directed towards the sun and passing through S.

A Review Study on the Modeling and Simulation of Solar Tower Power Plants

Journal of Solar Energy Research Updates, 2020
Much attention has been paid to concentrating solar power technologies (CSP) in the last two decades. Among the CSP that have been developed so far are the parabolic trough, the parabolic dish, the Fresnel collectors and the solar tower. However, the most widely used of these technologies is the solar tower power plant (STPP).

Innovative configuration of a hybrid nuclear-solar tower power plant

Energy, 2017
This paper proposes a combination of a nuclear and a CSP plant and performs a thermodynamic analysis of the potential benefit. Most of today's operating nuclear reactor systems are producing saturated steam at relatively low pressure. This, in turn, limits their thermodynamic efficiency.
