An economic assessment of an innovative solar thermal system called Application to Solar Thermal Energy Processes (ASTEP) was conducted. It considered its three main subsystems: a novel rotary Fresnel SunDial, Storage (TES) and Control System. Current collectors are unable provide energy above 150 °C in high-latitude locations. Therefore, the key contribution this study is performance ASTEP used high-temperature process heat up 400 for industries located at low high latitudes. The installed...
The Pre-Concept Design (PCD) of the Balance Plant (BoP) systems EU-DEMO power plant is described in this paper for both breeding blanket (BB) concepts under assessment, namely Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) BB and Helium Pebble Bed (HCPB) BB. Moreover, results a preliminary evaluation number BoP variants are discussed. This outlines steps design development, highlighting project objectives strategy their achievement very challenging requirements which include, among others, intermittent...
This work proposes a pumped thermal energy storage (PTES) integrated into the power block of concentrated solar plant. The operates under Hybrid Rankine–Brayton (HRB) cycle using propane as working fluid. During PTES charging, some is obtained from dedicated compressor (additional to that HRB cycle), which stored. discharge, both compressors (HRB and PTES) are off, restoring consumed resulting in about 13% increase nominal output. system also able store would otherwise be rejected through...
This study examines the potential for smart integration of waste and renewable energy sources to supply industrial heat at temperatures between 150 °C 250 °C, aiming decarbonize demand in European industry. work is part a project (SUSHEAT) which focuses on developing novel technology that integrates several innovative components: Stirling cycle high-temperature pump (HTHP), bio-inspired phase change material (PCM) thermal storage (TES) system, control twin (CIT) system based decision-making...
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems are one of the most promising energy conversion technologies available for remote areas and low temperature sources. An ORC system works like a conventional cycle but it uses an organic compound as working fluid, instead water. A small unit coupled with solar thermal could be used to convert into electricity in areas, offering alternative Photovoltaic (PV) provide required by desalination applications reverse osmosis (RO). In this work analysis performance...
Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) is one of the most promising alternatives to decarbonize industry. The present work aims analyze influence thermal pipelines inertia on a small-scale solar concentrator 20 kW with phase-change material storage. Two dynamic simulations this SHIP system integrated into tube steel factory in Romania were developed Dymola software: them considered and other did not. By comparing simulation results, we have found that pipeline conveyed delays start-up...
The design of two collectors based on SunDial technology is conducted for distinct case studies: a dairy company situated in Corinth (latitude 37.9°N) and steel located Iasi (47.1°N). discrepancy latitudes necessitates different concept designs, one-axis the former two-axis tracking latter. To develop these collectors, combination models employed, including thermal model receiver, an analytic predicting mirror shape, analytical reducing number optical variables, Monte Carlo Ray Tracing final...
The paper analyses an integrated solar combined cycle that, as a novelty, includes gas turbine with partial recuperation. A conventional arrangement including parabolic troughs thermal oil is assumed. This field feeds steam generator working in parallel the high-pressure evaporator of heat recovery generator. plant designed to balance out supply power transferred air recuperator before it introduced combustion chamber. Thus, only fraction exhaust flows through recuperator. additional...
