Journal ArticleDOI
Two-tank molten salt storage for parabolic trough solar power plants
TL;DR: In this article, an engineering study was carried out to evaluate a concept where another (less expensive) liquid medium such as molten salt is utilized as storage medium rather than the heat transfer fluid (HTF) itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of a Molten Salt Heat Transfer Fluid in a Parabolic Trough Solar Field
David Kearney,Ulf Herrmann,P. Nava,Bruce Kelly,R. Mahoney,James E. Pacheco,R. Cable,N. Potrovitza,Daniel M. Blake,Hank Price +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of utilizing a molten salt as the heat transfer fluid (HTF) and for thermal storage in a parabolic trough solar field to improve system performance and to reduce the levelized electricity cost was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of Thermal Energy Storage for Parabolic Trough Power Plants
Ulf Herrmann,David Kearney +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a literature review was carried out to evaluate the state of the art of thermal energy storage applied to parabolic trough power plants, where the heat transfer fluid (HTF) also serves as storage medium.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of utilizing a molten salt as the heat transfer fluid (HTF) and for thermal storage in a parabolic trough solar field to improve system performance and to reduce the levelized electricity cost was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trough integration into power plants : a study on the performance and economy of integrated solar combined cycle systems
Jürgen Dersch,Michael Geyer,Ulf Herrmann,Scott A. Jones,Bruce Kelly,Rainer Kistner,Winfried Ortmanns,Robert Pitz-Paal,Henry Price +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a collaborative effort under the International Energy Agency SolarPACES organization to address these questions and it shows the potential environmental and economic benefits of each configuration.
