This study presents a critical review of the major research and development work that has
advanced surface solar absorption technology and also discusses the applications of this …

This study suggests a novel zero-emission combined cooling and power (CCP) system
using a high-temperature solar field, ie, heliostat reflectors and a central receiver as the heat …

Open volumetric receiver (OVR) concentrating solar power (CSP) plant technology may hold
a number of significant advantages over other CSP technologies, as a consequence of its …

Solar irradiation is intermittent, but concentrated solar thermal (CST) plants are typically
designed and analyzed solely based on their steady design point. Unlike coal power plants …

In this paper, a steam cycle assisted solar tower power system is designed and
parametrically optimised for Iskenderun region by considering the weather conditions. After …

Hybridization of concentrated solar power (CSP) with other energy sources can drastically
increase how much solar energy is harnessed and potentially expand the current …

The objective of this research is to investigate the implementation of two concentrated solar
power (CSP) technologies in the 28 devoted locations in Egypt, in order to select the …

The annual performance, fuel consumption and emissions of a hybrid thermosolar central
tower Brayton plant is analyzed in yearly terms by means of a thermodynamic model. The …

In this study, differential evolution was employed to perform optimization of a heliostat field.
A complete mathematical code was developed for this purpose, which generates a heliostat …

This paper presents a general thermodynamic model for hybrid Brayton central tower
thermosolar plants. These plants have been proved to be technically feasible but research …
