The storage system model has been developed in the simulation environment Matlab/Simulink®. The storage type under investigation is a packed bed thermal energy storage system which has the characteristics of a regenerator. Thermal energy can be stored and discharged as required via the HTF air. The air mass flow distribution is controlled by valves, and the mass flow by two blowers. The thermal storage operation strategy has a direct and significant impact on the energetic and economic efficiency of the solar tower power plants.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BreitbachAlexopoulosMayetal.2019, author = {Breitbach, Gerd and Alexopoulos, Spiros and May, Martin and Teixeira Boura, Cristiano Jos{\´e} and Herrmann, Ulf}, title = {Analysis of volumetric solar radiation absorbers made of wire meshes}, series = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, volume = {2126}, booktitle = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, issn = {0094243X}, doi = {10.1063/1.5117521}, pages = {030009-1 -- 030009-6}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @incollection{HoffschmidtAlexopoulosGoettscheetal.2012, author = {Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Alexopoulos, Spiros and G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Sauerborn, Markus}, title = {High concentration solar collectors}, series = {Comprehensive renewable energy / ed.

To the solar thermal concentrated power plant systems belong the parabolic trough, the Fresnel collector, the solar dish, and the central receiver system. For high-concentration solar collector systems, optical and thermal analysis is essential. There exist a number of measurement techniques and systems for the optical and thermal characterization of the efficiency of solar thermal concentrated systems. For each system, structure, components, and specific characteristics types are described. The chapter presents additionally an outline for the calculation of system performance and operation and maintenance topics. One main focus is set to the models of components and their construction details as well as different types on the market. In the later part of this chapter, different criteria for the choice of technology are analyzed in detail.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BreitbachAlexopoulosHoffschmidt2007, author = {Breitbach, Gerd and Alexopoulos, Spiros and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard}, title = {Fluid flow in porous ceramic multichannel crossflower filter modules}, publisher = {COMSOL Inc.}, address = {Burlington, Mass.}, pages = {5 S.}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{VaessenAlexopoulosKluczkaetal.2011, author = {Vaeßen, Christiane and Alexopoulos, Spiros and Kluczka, Sven and Sattler, Johannes Christoph and Roeb, M. and Neises, M. and Abdellatif, T.}, title = {Analyse der Verfahren zur solaren Methanolproduktion aus CO2}, series = {Forschung und Entwicklung f{\"u}r solarthermische Kraftwerke : 14.
