Synthesis of efficient solar thermal power cycles for baseload power supply

Solar Thermal Power as the Plausible Basis of Grid Supply

The energy system must be producing close to zero emissions by mid-century to meet stringent climate goals. There are many possible clean energy options, but few are ready or able to replace coal and gas as primary electricity supplies. This paper addresses the issue of whether a viable energy system can be based mostly around solar thermal electricity. It is found that, using thermal storage, ...

application of upfc based on svpwm for power quality improvement

در سالهای اخیر،اختلالات کیفیت توان مهمترین موضوع می باشد که محققان زیادی را برای پیدا کردن راه حلی برای حل آن علاقه مند ساخته است.امروزه کیفیت توان در سیستم قدرت برای مراکز صنعتی،تجاری وکاربردهای بیمارستانی مسئله مهمی می باشد.مشکل ولتاژمثل شرایط افت ولتاژواضافه جریان ناشی از اتصال کوتاه مدار یا وقوع خطا در سیستم بیشتر مورد توجه می باشد. برای مطالعه افت ولتاژ واضافه جریان،محققان زیادی کار کرده ...

Concentrating solar thermal power.

In addition to wind and photovoltaic power, concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) will make a major contribution to electricity provision from renewable energies. Drawing on almost 30 years of operational experience in the multi-megawatt range, CSP is now a proven technology with a reliable cost and performance record. In conjunction with thermal energy storage, electricity can be provided ac...

Baseload Solar Power for California? Ammonia-based Solar Energy Storage Using Trough Concentrators – A Study of Heat Losses

Heat losses from a trough cavity receiver were investigated in order to eventually optimise the reactor geometry for ammonia-based solar energy storage with troughs, which are prominent in the SEGs plants of California. To this end, experiments were performed with a small-scale receiver containing heating elements. This gave free convection loss coefficient values from 0.3 to 11.8 W/(m.C) from ...
