RISHeat Transfer Models of Moving Packed-Bed Particle-to-sCO2 Heat Exchangers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Particle-based concentrating solar power (CSP) plants have been proposed to increase operating temperature for integration with higher efficiency power cycles using supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2). The majority of ...
Assessment of Particle Candidates for Falling Particle Receiver Applications Through Irradiance and Thermal Cycling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Falling particle receiver (FPR) systems are a rapidly developing technology for concentrating solar power applications. Solid particles are used as both the heat transfer fluid and system thermal energy storage media. ...
Evaluation of Alternative Designs for a High Temperature Particle-to-sCO2 Heat Exchanger
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation of alternative particle heat-exchanger designs, including moving packed-bed and fluidized-bed designs, for high-temperature heating of a solar-driven supercritical CO2 (sCO2) Brayton power ...
Inert and Reactive Oxide Particles for High-Temperature Thermal Energy Capture and Storage for Concentrating Solar Power
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Oxide particles have potential as robust heat transfer and thermal energy storage (TES) media for concentrating solar power (CSP). Particles of low-cost, inert oxides such as alumina and/or silica offer an effective, ...
Sensitivity Analysis of the Levelized Cost of Electricity for a Particle-Based Concentrating Solar Power System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents a sensitivity analysis of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for a particle-based system with the costs of the most current components. New models for the primary heat exchanger, thermal energy ...
