The aim of the project is to extract CO2 from industrial exhaust gases or directly from the atmosphere to recycle it by use of solar energy. Part of the study was the modeling and simulating of a methane reformer for the production of synthesis gas, which can be operated by solar or hybrid heat sources. The reformer has been simplified in such a way that the model is accurate and enables fast calculations. The developed pseudo-homogeneous one- dimensional model can be regarded as a kind of counter-current heat exchanger and is able to incorporate a steam reforming reaction as well as a dry reforming reaction.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HoffschmidtAlexopoulos2012, author = {Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Alexopoulos, Spiros}, title = {Perspektiven f{\"u}r Solarthermische Kraftwerke im Sonneng{\"u}rtel}, series = {Energiewende : Aspekte, Optionen, Herausforderungen : Vortr{\"a}ge auf der DPG-Fr{\"u}hjahrstagung Arbeitskreis Energie in der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft Berlin, 26. bis 28.

The concentrator consists of a mirror array, which was created using the application builder. The mirror facets are preconfigured to form a focal point. During tracking all mirrors are moved simultaneously in a coupled mode by 2 motors in two axes, in order to keep the system in focus with the moving sun. Optical errors on each reflecting surface were implemented in combination with the solar angular cone of ± 4.65 mrad. As a result, the intercept factor of solar radiation that is available to the receiver was calculated as a function of the transversal and longitudinal angles of incidence. In addition, the intensity distribution on the receiver plane was calculated as a function of the incidence angles.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlexopoulosRauHoffschmidtetal.2012, author = {Alexopoulos, Spiros and Rau, Christoph and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Breitbach, Gerd and Latzke, Markus}, title = {Modelling and validation of a transient heat recovery steam generator of the solar tower power plant Juelich}, series = {Eurosun 2012 : Solar energy for a brighter future : conference proceedings : Rijeka, 18.-22.09.2012}, booktitle = {Eurosun 2012 : Solar energy for a brighter future : conference proceedings : Rijeka, 18.-22.09.2012}, address = {Rijeka}, pages = {ID 97}, year = {2012}, language = {en} }
