The open-volumetric receiver uses ambient air as heat transfer fluid and the hybridization is realized with a gas turbine. The Rankine cycle is heated by solar-heated air and/or by the gas turbine's flue gases. The plant can be operated in solar-only, hybrid parallel or combined cycle-only mode as well as in any intermediate load levels where the solar portion can vary between 0 to 100\%. The simulated plant is based on the configuration of a solar-hybrid power tower project, which is in planning for a site in Northern Algeria. The meteorological data for Barstow-Daggett was taken from the software meteonorm. The solar power tower simulation tool has been developed in the simulation environment MATLAB/Simulink and is validated.}, language = {en} } @article{HoffschmidtFendPitzPaaletal.2004, author = {Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Fend, Thomas and Pitz-Paal, Robert and Reutter, Oliver}, title = {Two novel high-porosity materials as volumetric receivers for concentrated solar radiation / Thomas Fend ; Robert Pitz-Paal ; Oliver Reutter ...
