A computational approach to simulate the optical and thermal performance of a novel complex geometry solar tower molten salt cavity receiver

Slootweg, Marcel; Craig, K.J. (Kenneth); Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2019-07)

A novel complex geometry solar tower molten salt cavity receiver is presented and investigated with regard to its optical and thermal performance. The receiver’s design consists of a collector with the goal of limiting the ...
Thermal performance characteristics of a tessellated-impinging central receiver

Erasmus, Derwalt J.; Sanchez-Gonzalez, A.; Lubkoll, Matti; Craig, K.J. (Kenneth); Von Backstrom, Theodor W. (Elsevier, 2023-07)

Current central receiver Concentrating Solar Power plants using molten salt as a heat transfer fluid add heat at around 565 °C in a power plant. Adding heat at a higher temperature can improve the thermodynamic performance ...
