Advanced solar thermal receiver technology

18th Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 1980
Development of advanced receiver technology for solar thermal receivers designed for electric power generation or for industrial applications, such as fuels and chemical production or industrial process heat, is described. The development of this technology is focused on receivers that operate from 1000 F to 3000 F and above.

Experimental and numerical study on heat transfer driven dynamics and control of transient variations in a solar receiver

Solar Energy, 2020
A novel and compact variable aperture mechanism coupled to flow channels for recovery of spilled solar power was implemented on a cavity-type solar receiver to regulate its temperature and compensate for the sun’s transient variations.

Experimental and numerical study on the reflectance losses of the porous volumetric solar receiver

Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2020
The reflectance losses are the predominate energy losses in solar radiation transfer process for the porous volumetric solar receiver. However, few studies pay attention to the influence of geometrical parameters of porous media on the reflectance losses,

Experimental and numerical study on a novel energy efficient variable aperture mechanism for a solar receiver

Solar Energy, 2020
A novel energy efficient variable aperture mechanism for a cavity-type solar receiver is presented. A 10 kWe solar simulator was used to experimentally test the receiver with and without the aperture mechanism and while the mechanism’s blades were ...

Solar receiver with integrated optics

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
The current challenge for PV/Thermal (PV/T) systems is the reduction of radiation heat loss. Compared to solar thermal selective coating, the solar cells cannot be used as an efficient thermal absorber due to their large emissivity of the encapsulation material.

Solar-heated-air receivers

Solar Energy, 1977
Abstract Receiver design alternatives for a central tower, heat-air receiver of a solar/gas turbine electrical generation plant are considered. Apertured and unapertured, domed-surface and -cavity receivers are examined and losses such as incident flux reflection and reradiation from the receiver are included.

Properties of solid particles as heat transfer fluid in a gravity driven moving bed solar receiver

Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2019
The directly irradiated solid particle solar receiver (SPSR) is a very useful design due to its ability to safely absorb high solar irradiance fluxes. The heat transfer fluid in the directly irradiated SPSR should consist of solid particles that do not ...

Tomography-based determination of Nusselt number correlation for the porous volumetric solar receiver with different geometrical parameters

Renewable Energy, 2019
Pore-scale numerical models of the porous volumetric solar receiver are established in this paper. By using the X-ray computed tomography and the imaging processing techniques, models of porous media with different geometrical parameters are ...
