Published at Scientific Data – Wind and structural loads data measured on parabolic trough solar collectors at an operational power plant
Abstract: Wind loading is a primary contributor to structural design costs of concentrating solar-thermal power collectors, such as heliostats and parabolic troughs. These structures must resist the mechanical forces generated by turbulent wind, while the reflector surfaces must maintain optimal optical performance. Studying wind-driven loads at a full-scale, operational concentrating solar-thermal power plant provides insights …
Two CSP studies quantify a trade-off between solar efficiency and LCOE
Vast Solar is one of the few commercial firms numbering-up modules in CSP. Efficiency or LCOE: which is more important to reduce the cost of Gen-3 CSP systems? A pair of related papers from ANU in Australia compare the value of efficiency versus Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems. The …
