Low temperature cycles work at maximum temperatures of about 100°C, medium temperature cycles work at maximum temperatures up to 400°C, while high temperature cycles work at empera- tures above 400°C. Lowtemperature systems use fiat-plate or solar collectors ponds for collecting solar energy.
To minimuse these heat losses, encapsulation of the silo with insulation and use of purer saltrs may be necessary. Recently, a supercritical carbon dioxide gaseous fluid using the Brayton cycle has been used to replace water/steam-driven Rankine engine in concentrating solar power.
Thethermodynamic cycles used for solar thermal power generation be broadly can classified as low, medium andhigh temperature cycles. Low temperature cycles work at maximum temperatures of about 100°C, medium temperature cycles work at maximum temperatures up to 400°C, while high temperature cycles work at empera- tures above 400°C.
Lowtemperature systems use fiat-plate or solar collectors ponds for collecting solar energy. Recently, systems working o the chimney solar concept have been suggested. Medium temperature systems use the lihe focussing parabolic collector technology.
Anannual efficiency goal of 0.90 has been set for this design. Solar thermal energy can make areal impact ifi leads to large cale cost-effective electrical power generation. The survey don inthis paper shows that this sfar from being the case. However, impressive developments have taken place in the last decade.
The pressure drop was based on the Lockhart-Martinelli parameter and the Olujic (1985) model for low-velocity (typical for CSP) boiling pressure drop. Lobón et al. (2014) developed a simulation model to study the dynamic behaviour of a parabolic-trough solar system for direct steam generation.
