Maximizing concentrated solar power (CSP) plant overall efficiencies by using spectral selective absorbers at optimal operation temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a comprehensive computational parameter study of operation temperature and optical properties of the absorber and investigated their effect on the overall plant efficiency in dependence of sun light concentration up to C ǫ = 1000 suns.

Spectral and directional thermal radiation characteristics of selective sufaces for solar collectors
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral radiation characteristics of metallic substrates coated with semiconductor and antireflection layers are considered and the directional spectral reflectances of several surface coatings are presented and evaluated.

Performance of spectrally selective collector surfaces in a solar-driven carnot space-power system
C.H. Liebert,R.R. Hibbard +1 more
TL;DR: The performance of spectrally selective collector surfaces in a solar-driven car not space-power system was investigated in this article, where the collector surfaces were constructed using a spectrically selective collector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equilibrium temperatures of ideal spectrally selective surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the case where the monochromatic emissivity changed abruptly at specific wavelengths and calculated equilibrium temperatures when exposed to both focused and unfocused solar radiation at the earth's orbit distance.

Thermal conversion of solar radiation theoretical performance of collectors furnished with an absorbent selective surface
Richard Pasquetti,F. Papini +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of various parameters such as selectivity, concentration ratio and working temperature on the efficiency of the collector is brought out by means of an idealized model, and an optimised selective surface for each condition of use, either by considering the instantaneous efficiency or by introducing the daily efficiency of an installation.
