Solar tower enhanced natural draft dry cooling tower [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2017
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants are located in desert areas where the Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) value is very high. Since water resource is scarcely available, mechanical draft cooing technology is commonly used, with power consumption of mechanical fans being approximately 2% of the total power generated.

Liquid Phase Transmission Electron Microscopy: A Window into the Early Stages of Complex Material Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid‐phase transmission electron microscopy enables direct observation of nucleation and growth processes in solution. This review is dedicated to the remembrance of Helmut Cölfen and highlights recent studies on complex materials—oxides, biominerals, organic–inorganic crystals—which were central to his research activity. It summarizes key milestones,

Sustainable solar energy potential on marine passenger ships of Bay of Bengal: A way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and disaster risk reduction

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2023
In Bangladesh, there are roughly 31 marine passenger ships that are in operation. These ships might be a good location for solar photovoltaic (PV) plants since solar energy is the best renewable energy to replace the fossil fuel used in the ships.

Point-focus multi-receiver Fresnel loop - Exploring ways to increase the optical efficiency of solar tower systems

open access: yes, 2022
For commercial solar tower systems of relevant size, state of the art of light collection and concentration (LCC) subsystems (heliostat field plus receiver envelope) do not achieve annual optical efficiencies larger than 65%.
