The aggregation of typical operation periods has become a popular method to reduce effort. These operation periods are modelled independently and cannot interact in most cases. Consequently, seasonal storage is not reproducible. This inability can lead to a significant error, especially for energy systems with a high share of fluctuating renewable energy. The previous paper, "Time series aggregation for energy system design: Modeling seasonal storage", has developed a seasonal storage model to address this issue. Simultaneously, the paper "Optimal design of multi-energy systems with seasonal storage" has developed a different approach. This paper aims to review these models and extend the first model. The extension is a mathematical reformulation to decrease the number of variables and constraints. Furthermore, it aims to reduce the calculation time while achieving the same results.}, 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{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} } @inproceedings{BuckWurmhoeringerLehleetal.2010, author = {Buck, R. and Wurmh{\"o}ringer, K. and Lehle, R. and Pfahl, A. and G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Meyr, T.}, title = {Development of a 30m2 heliostat with hydraulic drive}, series = {SolarPACES 2010 : the CSP Conference: electricity, fuels and clean water from concentrated solar energy ; 21 to 24 September 2010, Perpignan, France}, booktitle = {SolarPACES 2010 : the CSP Conference: electricity, fuels and clean water from concentrated solar energy ; 21 to 24 September 2010, Perpignan, France}, publisher = {Soc.

Micro heliostats can be deployed in small-scale concentrated solar power (CSP) plants to concentrate the sun's radiation for electricity generation, space or domestic water heating or industrial process heat. In contrast to conventional heliostats, the special feature of a micro heliostat is that it consists of dozens of parallel-moving, interconnected, rotatable mirror facets. The mirror facets array is fixed inside a box-shaped module and is protected from weathering and wind forces by a transparent glass cover. The choice of the building materials for the box, tracking mechanism and mirrors is largely dependent on the selected production process and the intended application of the micro heliostat. Special attention was paid to the material of the tracking mechanism as this has a direct influence on the accuracy of the micro heliostat. The choice of materials for the mirror support structure and the tracking mechanism is made in favor of plastic molded parts. A qualification assessment method has been developed by the SIJ in which a 3D laser scanner is used in combination with a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). For the validation of this assessment method, a single mirror facet was scanned and the slope deviation was computed.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DerschGeyerHerrmannetal.2002, author = {Dersch, J{\"u}rgen and Geyer, Michael and Herrmann, Ulf and Jones, Scott A. and Kelly, Bruce and Kistner, Rainer and Ortmanns, Winfried and Pitz-Paal, Robert and Price, Henry}, title = {Trough integration into power plants : a study on the performance and economy of integrated solar combined cycle systems}, series = {Proceedings of the 11th SolarPACES International Symposium on Concentrated Solar Power and Chemical Energy Technologies : September 4 - 6, 2002, Zurich, Switzerland / Paul Scherrer Institut, PSI; ETH, Eidgen{\"o}ssische Technische Hochschule Z{\"u}rich}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 11th SolarPACES International Symposium on Concentrated Solar Power and Chemical Energy Technologies : September 4 - 6, 2002, Zurich, Switzerland / Paul Scherrer Institut, PSI; ETH, Eidgen{\"o}ssische Technische Hochschule Z{\"u}rich}, editor = {Steinfeld, Aldo}, publisher = {Paul Scherrer Inst.}, address = {Villingen}, isbn = {3-9521409-3-7}, pages = {661 -- 671}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DerschGeyerHerrmannetal.2002, author = {Dersch, J{\"u}rgen and Geyer, Michael and Herrmann, Ulf and Jones, Scott A. and Kelly, Bruce and Kistner, Rainer and Ortmanns, Winfried and Pitz-Paal, Robert and Price, Henry}, title = {Solar Trough Integration Into Combined Cycle Systems}, series = {Solar engineering 2002 : proceedings of the International Solar Energy Conference ; presented at the 2002 International Solar Energy Conference, a part of Solar 2002 - Sunrise on the Reliable Energy Economy, June 15 - 20, 2002, Reno, Nevada}, booktitle = {Solar engineering 2002 : proceedings of the International Solar Energy Conference ; presented at the 2002 International Solar Energy Conference, a part of Solar 2002 - Sunrise on the Reliable Energy Economy, June 15 - 20, 2002, Reno, Nevada}, editor = {Pearson, J.

The MSDH system consists of a lower basin, eight horizontal stages, a field of four flat thermal collectors with a total area of 8.4 m2, 3 Kw PV panels and solar batteries. During the day the system is heated by thermal energy, and at night by heating resistors, powered by solar batteries. These batteries are charged by the photovoltaic panels during the day. More specifically, during the day and at night, we analyse the temperature of the stages and the production of distilled water according to the solar irradiation intensity and the electric heating power, supplied by the solar batteries. The simulations were carried out in the meteorological conditions of the winter month (February 2020), presenting intensities of irradiance and ambient temperature reaching 824 W/m2 and 23 °C respectively. The results obtained show that during the day the system is heated by the thermal collectors, the temperature of the stages and the quantity of water produced reach 80 °C and 30 Kg respectively. At night, from 6p.m. the system is heated by the electric energy stored in the batteries, the temperature of the stages and the quantity of water produced reach respectively 90 °C and 104 Kg for an electric heating power of 2 Kw. Moreover, when the electric power varies from 1 Kw to 3 Kw the quantity of water produced varies from 92 Kg to 134 Kg. The analysis of these results and their comparison with conventional solar thermal desalination systems shows a clear improvement both in the heating of the stages, by 10\%, and in the quantity of water produced by a factor of 3.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FendHoffschmidtReutteretal.2006, author = {Fend, Thomas and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Reutter, Oliver and Sauerhering, J{\"o}rg and Pitz-Paal, Robert}, title = {Gas flow in hot porous materials: the solar air receiver and spin-off applications}, series = {Proceedings of the 4th Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels - 2006 : presented at 4th Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels, June 19 - 21, 2006, Limerick, Ireland}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 4th Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels - 2006 : presented at 4th Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels, June 19 - 21, 2006, Limerick, Ireland}, publisher = {ASME}, address = {New York, NY}, organization = {International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels <4, 2006, Limerick>}, isbn = {0-7918-4760-8}, pages = {507 -- 514}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrantzBinderBuschetal.2020, author = {Frantz, Cathy and Binder, Matthias and Busch, Konrad and Ebert, Miriam and Heinrich, Andreas and Kaczmarkiewicz, Nadine and Schl{\"o}gl-Knothe, B{\"a}rbel and Kunze, Tobias and Schuhbauer, Christian and Stetka, Markus and Schwager, Christian and Spiegel, Michael and Teixeira Boura, Cristiano Jos{\´e} and Bauer, Thomas and Bonk, Alexander and Eisen, Stefan and Funck, Bernhard}, title = {Basic Engineering of a High Performance Molten Salt Tower Receiver System}, series = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, booktitle = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, doi = {10.1063/5.0085895}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The production of dispatchable renewable energy will be one of the most important key factors of the future energy supply.

The receiver is designed for a receiver outlet temperature up to 600 °C.

Despite massive reductions in the electricity generation costs of CSP plants, PV power generation is - at least during sunshine hours - significantly cheaper. If electricity is required not only during the daytime, but around the clock, CSP with its inherent thermal energy storage gets an advantage in terms of LEC. There are a few examples of projects in which CSP plants and PV plants have been co-located, meaning that they feed into the same grid connection point and ideally optimize their operation strategy to yield an overall benefit. In the past eight years, TSK Flagsol has developed a plant concept, which merges both solar technologies into one highly Integrated CSP-PV-Hybrid (ICPH) power plant. Here, unlike in simply co-located concepts, as analyzed e.g. in [1] - [4], excess PV power that would have to be dumped is used in electric molten salt heaters to increase the storage temperature, improving storage and conversion efficiency. The authors demonstrate the electricity cost sensitivity to subsystem sizing for various market scenarios, and compare the resulting optimized ICPH plants with co-located hybrid plants. Independent of the three feed-in tariffs that have been assumed, the ICPH plant shows an electricity cost advantage of almost 20\% while maintaining a high degree of flexibility in power dispatch as it is characteristic for CSP power plants. As all components of such an innovative concept are well proven, the system is ready for commercial market implementation.
