On-Sun Performance Evaluation of Alternative High-Temperature Falling Particle Receiver Designs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper evaluates the on-sun performance of a 1 MW falling particle receiver. Two particle receiver designs were investigated: obstructed flow particle receiver versus free-falling particle receiver. The intent of the ...
Heliostat Consortium: Gap Analysis on State of the Art in Wind Load Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wind loads are a major driver of heliostat cost. Standardized methods and tools are needed for a more detailed understanding of the static and dynamic loads of a heliostat design. This will enable cost reduction of ...
