Gas-phase solar receivers use atmospheric or pressurised gas as their heat transfer fluid
(HTF). The ideal gas-phase receiver would provide high thermal efficiency and high HTF …

The paper examines design and operating data of current concentrated solar power (CSP)
solar tower (ST) plants. The study includes CSP with or without boost by combustion of …

The thermal energy of the sun can be used for electricity generation. Solar thermal energy
can be applied with fossil fuels or independently in order to reduce the cost of generated …

A comparative study between two techniques of solar integration in Integrated Solar
Combined Cycle system power plant in terms of thermal performances and economic …

A high-temperature pressurized-air solar receiver, designed for driving a Brayton cycle,
consists of a cylindrical SiC cavity and a concentric annular reticulated porous ceramic …

Higher performance cavity receivers are needed to increase the competitiveness of solar
power plants. However, the design process needs to be improved with more relevant …

The thermal performance of an array of pressurized-air solar receiver modules integrated to
a gas turbine power cycle is analyzed for a simple Brayton cycle (BC), recuperated Brayton …

This paper presents a novel hybridization of a solar central receiver system via an open
volumetric air receiver with a combined cycle. The exhaust gases from a gas turbine before …

Energy supply is a concern toward environmental and resource issues. Supply and demand
must always be matched. If intermittent renewable energy sources are to be used, such …

This work presents the modeling and optimization of an indirectly irradiated solar receiver. A
numerical model of the cavity-absorber block is put forward with the coupling of the net …
