How can Synhelion’s solar receiver achieve such high temperatures?

How can Synhelion’s solar receiver reach such high temperatures? Synhelion’s solar receiver achieves a temperature of 1,500°C and higher. That’s unprecedented. Even the Gen3 particle-based solar receiver being pilot-scale tested now at Sandia – and the DLR CentRec receiver licensed to Heliogen – operate at the (relatively!) lower temperature of 1,000°C. One of Synhelion’s solar …

Synhelion’s solar receiver achieves a temperature of 1,500°C and higher. That’s unprecedented. Even the Gen3 particle-based solar receiver being pilot-scale tested now at Sandia – and the DLR CentRec receiver licensed to Heliogen – operate at the (relatively!) lower temperature of 1,000°C. One of Synhelion’s solar receivers is on the same tower as the 1,000°C …

Performance analysis and optimization study of a new supercritical CO2 solar tower power generation system integrated with steam Rankine cycle

Currently, the supercritical CO2 solar tower power generation (S-CO2 STPG) has become a research hotspot, but due to S-CO2 Brayton cycle characteristics, the solar energy utilization rate of the system is low. Therefore, a new S-CO2 STPG system integrated with steam Rankine (SR) cycle is first proposed. The SR cycle absorbs the waste heat of …
