Heliostat Shape and Orientation by Edge Detection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The heliostats of central receiver solar power plants reach dimensions up to 150 m2 with focal lengths up to 1000 m. Their optical properties and tracking accuracy have great influence on the ...
Infrared-Reflective Coating on Fused Silica for a Solar High-Temperature Receiver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In concentrating solar power, high-temperature solar receivers can provide heat to highly efficient cycles for electricity or chemical production. Excessive heating of the fused-silica window and ...
Automatic Noncontact Quality Inspection System for Industrial Parabolic Trough Assembly
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The construction of solar thermal power plants with several thousand m2 of collector area requires quality control measures for components, subsystems, and the entire collector rows. While quality ...
Face-Down Solid Particle Receiver Using Recirculation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar thermal energy generation needs receiver technologies which can drive highly efficient turbines and decouple the collection of energy from its use by an economic storage technology. ...
