Solar Thermal Power Plants with concentrating technologies are important for providing a major share of the clean and renewable energy needed in the future. Dish based system is a promising option for power generation since it has high concentration ratio and it does not require a large space. This paper presents a proposed solar dish based combined cycle: air based Brayton cycle as the topping...

in this paper, first a sensitivity analysis of parameters affecting the performance of the steam generator is performed. this process includes the pinch temperature difference and the gas velocity (width of the hrsg) as the operating parameter and geometrical parameters (fin’s thickness, fin’s height, number of fins in each inch, tube transverse pitch) for each pressure parts is carried out, an...
