THERMOECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND OPTIMISATION OF AIR-BASED BOTTOMING CYCLES FOR WATER-FREE HYBRID SOLAR GAS-TURBINE POWER PLANTS
Raphaël Michel Adrien Marie Sandoz
Among the plethora of alternatives available, concentrated solar power (CSP) appears as one of the most favourable options. The stability and dispatchability of production achievable by the integration of storage and fuel-solar hybridisation are amidst the ...
2012Multi-Scale Modelling of a Solar Reactor for the High-Temperature Step of a Sulphur-Iodine-Based Water Splitting Cycle
Sophia Haussener, Aldo Steinfeld
The 3-step sulphur-iodine-based thermochemical cycle for splitting water is considered. The high-temperature step consists of the evaporation, decomposition, and reduction of H2SO4 to SO2 using concentrated solar process heat. This step is followed by the ...
ASME2012From Single- to Multi-Tower Solar Thermal Power Plants: Investigation of the Thermo-Economic Optimum Transition Size
Daniel Favrat, Germain Augsburger
When considering very large single-tower heliostat fields, the attenuation and spillage losses are growing with the distance to the central receiver. Therefore multi-tower configurations are modelled and investigated to find the thermo-economic optimal siz ...
2012The communication process
Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst
In order to stimulate an increased use of solar in energy conscious building design, the Task 41 participants have developed a Communication Guideline as a tool to support architects in their communication process with especially clients, authorities and c ...
Hagen, Rolf and Bruun Jorgensen, Olav for International Energy Agency Solar Heating and Cooling Programme2012Thermo-economic optimisation of a tower/trough combination solar power plant
Today a crude oil barrel has five times the prize it had fifteen years ago, moreover, we have increased our global energy consumption by almost 40 percent since then and population growing rates are higher than ever before. In addition, recent tragic event ...
2011Life Cycle Analysis and Thermo-Environomic Optimization of Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Plants
Confronted to resources depletion and the global warming, the humanity has to reduce its fossil fuels dependence. The renewable energy is an interesting option to reach this aim. The most powerful one is the solar energy since in few hours, the Earth recei ...
2011Thermo-Economic Optimization of a Tower-Trough Combination Thermal Solar Power Plant
Germain Augsburger, Jorge López Moreno
Current energetic context involving skyrocketing oil prices, population growing rates without precedents and increasing concerns about nuclear energy and climate change issues requires rapid, economically feasible and reliable progress in the field of rene ...
2011Multi-period management and sensibility analysis of the model of a solar tower power plant using molten salt
Solar power is nowadays a promising solution to the energy supply problem, at least in the countries of the sunbelt or for solutions of delocalized production as the Desertec project . Due to the transient nature of solar irradiance, some storage technique ...
2010Thermo-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 ...
