Published at Renewable Energy – The performance evaluation of the free-falling particle solar receiver with a novel zigzag mass-flow controlled particle release pattern
Abstract: A free-falling particle receiver is a promising technology to be used in concentrating solar power plants. In this study, an optical-thermal coupled model is established by combining a Monte Carlo ray-tracing method with a finite volume method to simulate the energy transfer processes in a solar power tower system employing a cavity receiver. Using …

Japan to pay 15 years cost difference to birth green hydrogen technologies
Methane Pyrolysis in a Liquid Metal Bubble Column Reactor [CfD or Contracts-for-Difference subsidies pay the difference between an entrenched energy technology and a newly developing one to bring down those costs till it has scaled-up. CfD policies in the UK for its first decade of offshore wind jumpstarted widespread deployment and resulting cost reductions.] Source: …

A solar sulphur cycle to make unlimited thermal energy storage
Sulfur can be stored like a pile of coal. “This cycle allows you to get energy out of the sulphur and store it in between. Why it’s in focus now is that we can use 100% renewable energy – concentrated solar – to heat the reaction. That’s why chemical companies now come in and are …

Published at International Journal of Hydrogen Energy – Exergetic evaluation of the effect of nanofluid utilization for performance enhancement of a solar driven hydrogen production plant
Abstract: Recently, research and development on progressive and efficient hydrogen production methods has been paid lots of attention due to carbon-free feature of hydrogen. Application of nanoparticles to enhance an integrated solar-based hydrogen production unit is suggested and investigated in this work. The integrated plant consists of parabolic trough collectors coupled with a Kalina cycle …
Published at Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering – Production of Biochar by Slow and Solar-Biomass Pyrolysis: Focus on the Output Configuration Assessment, Adaptability, and Barriers to Market Penetration
Abstract: Biochar production through slow pyrolysis is a versatile and adaptable approach for managing diverse biomass waste. However, their industrial applications remain limited because of their high energy consumption and the emission of toxic gases. Solar-biomass pyrolysis systems have been proposed to address these challenges. This review examines the relationship between output configuration and the …
