Thermo-economic Optimisation of the Heliostat Field of Solar Tower Thermal Power Plants

Daniel Favrat, Germain Augsburger

A method of optimising the thermodynamic and economic performance of heliostat field within a solar tower thermal power plant has been developed. The method includes the generation of a heliostat field given a set of design variables, the assessment of its ...

Evaluation of a combined-cycle setup for Solar Tower Power Plants

Daniel Favrat, Germain Augsburger, James Spelling

Simulation of a pure-solar combined-cycle solar thermal power was performed in order to analyse the thermodynamic and economic performance. An open volumetric receiver and packed-bed storage concept was considered. For a 15 MWe power plant, an exergetic ef ...
