TL;DR: In this article, a review of thermal energy storage system design methodologies and the factors to be considered at different hierarchical levels for concentrating solar power (CSP) plants is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed one dimensional numerical heat transfer analysis of a solar parabolic trough collector is performed, where the receiver and envelope are divided into several segments and mass and energy balance are applied in each segment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a supercritical Rankine cycle using zeotropic mixture working fluids for the conversion of low-grade heat into power is proposed and analyzed, and the proposed cycle can achieve thermal efficiencies of 10.8e13.4% with the cycle high temperature of 393 Ke473 K as compared to 9.7e10.1% for the organic rankine cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new experimental measurements for pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient in microchannel heat sinks using standard Silicon 100 wafers and two different channel patterns were studied, one series pattern carried fluid through a longer winding channel between the inlet and the outlet headers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the performance of a thermal energy storage system using spherical capsules filled with phase changes material (PCMs) of different thermo-physical properties at different sections along the bed.
