Amidst a backdrop of rapidly increasing world-wide electricity demand, solar thermal power generation shows great potential for supplying the electricity needs of numerous countries in the Sun-belt regions of the world. In these regions, the absence of sig ...
Solar thermal power is a very promising technique in the future, while the design of heliostat field, which decide the investment and the energy received, influences very much thermoeconomics of the power system so as the capital cost of the electricity ob ...
In the framework of the EU-project SOLZINC, a 300-kW solar chemical pilot plant for the production of zinc by carbothermic reduction of ZnO was experimentally demonstrated in a beam-down solar tower concentrating facility of Cassegrain optical configuratio ...
This paper introduces a novel of mini-hybrid solar power plant integrating a field of solar concentrators, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) and a (bio)Diesel engine. Turbines for the organic Rankine Cycles are hermetic scroll expander-generators ...
Marilyne Andersen, Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory, EPFL, Switzerland, presents a detailed validation approach for bi-directional properties of complex fenestration systems. ...
A new concept of small hybrid solar power system (HSPS) has been successfully demonstrated in the context of a project called SPS (Solar Power System). This plant integrates two rows of solar collectors, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) each equ ...
