In co-operation with the German Aerospace Center, the Solar-Institut Jülich has been analyzing the different technologies that are available for methanol production from CO2 using solar energy. 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.
In this work the transient simulations of four hybrid solar tower power plant concepts with open-volumetric receiver technology for a location in Barstow-Daggett, USA, are presented. 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.

Two of the main environmental problems of today’s society are the continuously increasing production of organic wastes as well as the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the related green house effect. A way to solve these problems is the production of biogas. Biogas is a combustible gas consisting of methane, carbon dioxide and small amounts of other gases and trace elements. Production of biogas through anaerobic digestion of animal manure and slurries as well as of a wide range of digestible organic wastes and agricultural residues, converts these substrates into electricity and heat and offers a natural fertiliser for agriculture. The microbiological process of decomposition of organic matter, in the absence of oxygen takes place in reactors, called digesters. Biogas can be used as a fuel in a gas turbine or burner and can be used in a hybrid solar tower system offering a solution for waste treatment of agricultural and animal residues. A solar tower system consists of a heliostat field, which concentrates direct solar irradiation on an open volumetric central receiver. The receiver heats up ambient air to temperatures of around 700°C. The hot air’s heat energy is transferred to a steam Rankine cycle in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The steam drives a steam turbine, which in turn drives a generator for producing electricity. In order to increase the operational hours of a solar tower power plant, a heat storage system and/ or hybridization may be considered. The advantage of solar-fossil hybrid power plants, compared to solar-only systems, lies in low additional investment costs due to an adaptable solar share and reduced technical and economical risks. On sunny days the hybrid system operates in a solar-only mode with the central receiver and on cloudy days and at night with the gas turbine only. As an alternative to methane gas, environmentally neutral biogas can be used for operating the gas turbine. Hence, the hybrid system is operated to 100% from renewable energy sources

Zwangsbelüftete Nasskühltürme haben im Gegensatz zur Trockenkühlung bei naßkaltem Wetter Nebelschwaden zur Folge. Dagegen ist bei Naßkühlung die spezifische Kühlleistung durch abgeführte Kondensationswärme höher als bei der Trockenkühlung. Hybridzellenkühltürme kombinieren beide Methoden, so daß ein Mischstrom beider Abluftströme die Wasserdampf-Sättigungsgrenze nicht überschreitet. Durch das Mischungsverhältnis kann man den gewünschten Sättigungsgrad einstellen. Je dichter dieser an der Sättigungsgrenze liegt, desto höher ist die Kühlleistung. Der von unten zugeführte Luftstrom der Naßkühlung und der seitlich zugeführte trockene Abluftstrom müssen sehr gut durchmischt werden, um über den gesamten Austrittsquerschnitt des Kühlturms die Sättigungsgrenze nicht zu überschreiten. In einem maßstabsgerechten Modell wurde der Mischungsgrad mit und ohne Einbauten untersucht. Über ein Raster von 10 mal 10 Punkten wurde die örtliche Temperaturverteilung ermittelt. Wärmebilanzen ergeben dann die Mischungsgüte in einer Ebene oberhalb der Zellenkrone. Während ohne Mischeinbauten der Trockenluftanteil in der Mitte des Querschnitts bei unter 15 % liegt erhöhen Einbauten den Trockenluftanteil auf 30 % bis über 40 %. Dabei wurde die Trockenluft auf jeder Kühlturmseite durch 4 konisch zulaufende, unten offene und oben geschlitzte Einbauten kanalisiert. Die Nassluft wurde durch eine im Querschnitt dreieckige Rinne in Richtung der Trockenluftauslässe umgelenkt. Im Raster leicht zu lokalisierende Abweichungen vom gewünschten Mittelwert zeigen Potential für die weitere Verbesserung der Einbauten.
