Thermo-Economic Optimisation of Solar Tower Thermal Power Plants

James Spelling

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 ...

Optical selective coating for solar absorbers

Andreas Schueler, Martin Python, Martin Joly, Yannik Antonetti

Solar thermal energy is generally accepted as very energy efficient in providing space heating and cooling, desalination of sea water or solar thermal electricity generation. For all these applications, one of the key elements is the optical selective coat ...

Facade Integration of Solar Thermal Collectors:A Breakthrough?

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst, Estelle De Chambrier

One main barrier to the acceptability of façade use of solar thermal collectors is their black appearance and the visibility of piping or absorber irregularities through the glazing. To facilitate façade integration, a project was set up to develop selecti ...
