Published at Energy Conversion and Management – Structural stabilization of granular Ca(OH)2 by coating with nanostructured additives for thermochemical cycling in a fixed reaction bed

Abstract: Thermochemical energy storage systems have a high potential to support a future energy supply based on renewables by providing comparably high storage capacities and option for long-term, cold and loss free storage, that allows a flexible utilization in several application areas. Due to its cost efficiency and abundance the reaction system Ca(OH)2/CaO is currently …

Published at Journal of Energy Storage – The cost-competitiveness of concentrated solar power with thermal energy storage in power systems with high solar penetration levels

Abstract: In this paper, we show that concentrated solar power (CSP) with thermal storage is an economically attractive technology to achieve high solar penetration levels. To this end, we utilize an alternative framework of net levelized cost of electricity (net-LCOE), which captures the projected curtailment rate, to economically compare PV with batteries to CSP in …

Published at Applied Energy – Co-optimisation of the heliostat field and receiver for concentrated solar power plants

Abstract: In a concentrated solar power (CSP) tower plant, it is essential to understand the performance of the subsystem formed by the heliostat field and the receiver, operated with an optimal aiming strategy that guarantees the safety and lifetime of the receiver while maximising performance. State-of-the-art studies optimise the heliostat field, aiming strategy and the …

Published at Energy – Concentrating efficiency loss of heliostat with multiple sub-mirrors under wind loads

Heliostats in a Tower CSP project IMAGE@GrupoCobra Abstract: As an important design load for heliostat, wind load crucially affects the safety and concentrating performance. Herein, an evaluation method is proposed to study the impacts of wind loads on concentrating efficiency loss of the heliostat with multiple sub-mirrors. In particular, the computation method and evaluation index …
