Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal energy storage for direct steam generation
TL;DR: In this article, a three-part storage system is proposed where a phase change material (PCM) storage will be deployed for the two-phase evaporation, while concrete storage is used for storing sensible heat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Material aspects of Solar Salt for sensible heat storage
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present thermal stability examinations of solar salt and NaNO 3 by isothermal lab-scale tests and thermal analysis measurements, and show that there is a steadily increasing oxide level at a constant nitrite to nitrate ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Latent heat storage above 120°C for applications in the industrial process heat sector and solar power generation
Rainer Tamme,Thomas Bauer,Jochen Buschle,Doerte Laing,Hans Müller-Steinhagen,Wolf-Dieter Steinmann +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, phase change materials (PCMs) are used for thermal storage in the temperature range of 120-300 °C for solar thermal power generation and high temperature process heat.
Book
Thermophotovoltaics: Basic Principles and Critical Aspects of System Design
TL;DR: In this article, an introduction to the underlying theory, overview of present day components and system arrangements, and update of the latest developments in thermophotovoltaic system design is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Temperature Solid-Media Thermal Energy Storage for Solar Thermal Power Plants
TL;DR: Simulation of the annual electricity generation of a 50 MWel parabolic trough power plant with a 1100-MWh concrete storage illustrates that such plants can operate in southern Europe delivering about 3500 full load hours annually and this number will increase further, when improved operation strategies are applied.
