DNI (direct normal irradiation) maps from an all-sky imager-based nowcasting system are applied to a dynamic prediction model coupled with ray tracing. The results underline the need for high-resolution DNI maps in order to predict net yield and receiver outlet temperature realistically. Furthermore, based on a statistical uncertainty analysis, a correlation is developed, which allows for predicting the uncertainty of the net power prediction based on the corresponding DNI forecast uncertainty. However, the study reveals significant prediction errors and the demand for further improvement in the accuracy at which local shadings are forecasted.

T1 - Hot gas filtration with ceramic filter candles: experimental and numerical investigations on fluid flow during element cleaning T2 - High temperature gas cleaning. Vol. 2 N2 - Ceramic hot gas filters are widely used in combined cycles based on pressurised fluidised beds. They fulfil most of the demands with respect to cleaning efficiency and long time durability, but their operation regarding the consumption of pulse gas and energy still has to be optimised. Experimental investigations were carried out to measure the flow field, the pressure and the gas temperature inside the filter candle during pulse jet cleaning. These results are compared with the results of a numerical procedure based on a solution of the two - dimensional conservation equations for momentum and energy. The observed difficulties handling different flow regimes like highly turbulent flow as well as Darcy flow simultaneously are discussed.

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.

Eine Voraussetzung für den Betrieb dieser Anlagen ist die Entstaubung der Rauchgase bei hohen Temperaturen und Drücken. Abreinigungsfilter mit keramischen Elementen werden dazu eingesetzt. Eine Reduzierung gasförmiger Schadstoffe unter den gleichen Bedingungen könnte Rauchgaswäsche ersetzen. Ziel des Gesamtvorhabens ist es, die Integration von Heißgasfiltration und katalytischem Abbau der Schadstoffe Kohlenmonoxid, Kohlenwasserstoffe und Stickoxide in einen Verfahrensschritt zu untersuchen. Die Arbeitsschwerpunkte dieses Teilvorhabens betreffen: die katalytische Wirkung eisenhaltiger Braunkohlenaschen, die Wirksamkeit des Calciumaluminat als Katalysator des Abbaus unverbrannter Kohlenwasserstoffe im Heißgasfilter, numerische Simulation der kombinierten Abscheidung von Partikeln und gasförmigen Schadstoffen aus Rauchgasen N2 - Power plants with gas and steam turbines in pressurized fluidized bed or pressurized gasification processes enable power generation of coal with high efficiancy and little emissions. To run these plants the cleaning of the flue gas is necessary before entering the turbines under the conditions of high temperature and pressure. Ceramic filter elements are the most probable method for hot gas cleaning. A simultaneous reduction of gaseous pollutant components under these conditions could help to make the whole process more efficiant. The aim of the project is to integrate the catalytic reduction of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitric oxides into the hot gas filtration with ceramic filter elements as a one step mecanism. The project is focused on: the catalytic behaviour of ferrugious ashes of brown coal, the effectiveness of calcinated aluminates as a catalyst to remove uncombuste hydrocarbons in a hot gas filtration unit, numerical simulation of the combined removal of particels and gaseous pollutant components out of the flue gas.
