RISStatus Quo and Gap Analysis of Heliostat Field Deployment Processes for Concentrating Solar Tower Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deployment of the solar field of a concentrating solar power plant is one of many factors that are integral to the success of a project. Knowledge transfer from outside the industry is limited due to the unique nature of ...
Resources, Training, and Education Under the Heliostat Consortium: Industry Gap Analysis and Building a Resource Database
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concentrating solar power is not a widely deployed or known technology area, and the heliostat workforce community in the United States is currently small, with knowledge and expertise not widely available. The resource, ...
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 ...
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 ...
