RISFluidized Bed Technology for Concentrating Solar Power With Thermal Energy Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A generalized modeling method is introduced and used to evaluate thermal energy storage (TES) performance. The method describes TES performance metrics in terms of three efficiencies: firstlaw efficiency, secondlaw efficiency, ...
Determining the Cost Benefit of High Temperature Coatings for Concentrating Solar Power Thermal Storage Using Probabilistic Cost Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Probabilistic cost analysis determined the cost benefit for applying a protective coating to the wetted surfaces of stainless steel tank walls for concentrating solar power (CSP) thermal storage applications. The model ...
Computational Analysis of a Pipe Flow Distributor for a Thermocline Based Thermal Energy Storage System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The overall efficiency of a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant depends on the effectiveness of thermal energy storage (TES) system (Kearney and Herrmann, 2002, “Assessment of a Molten Salt Heat Transfer Fluid,†...
Ca(NO3)2—NaNO3—KNO3 Molten Salt Mixtures for Direct Thermal Energy Storage Systems in Parabolic Trough Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Molten salts are currently the only thermal energy storage media operating with multiple hours of energy capacity in commercial concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. Thermal energy is stored by sensible heat in the liquid ...
