  2. 1. Steam Turbine Optimisation for Solar Thermal Power Plant Operation

    Author : James Spelling; Andrew Martin; Magnus Genrup; KTH; []
    Keywords : solar thermal power; steam-turbine; start-up; cool-down; dispatchability increase; koncentrerad solenergi; ångturbin; uppstart; nedkylning; ökad flexibilitet;

    Abstract : The provision of a sustainable energy supply is one of the most important issues facing humanity at the current time, given the strong dependence of social and economic prosperity on the availability of affordable energy and the growing environmental concerns about its production. Solar thermal power has established itself as a viable source of renewable power, capable of generating electricity at some of the most economically attractive rates. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hybrid Solar Gas-Turbine Power Plants : A Thermoeconomic Analysis

    Author : James Spelling; Andrew Martin; Björn Laumert; David Tomas Sanchez Martinez; KTH; []

  5. 3. Improving Concentrating Solar Power Plant Performance through Steam Turbine Flexibility

    Author : Monika Topel; Björn Laumert; Markus Jöcker; Magnus Genrup; Tony Arts; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concentrating Solar Power; Steam Turbines; Transients; Start-up; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : The amount of incoming solar energy to earth is greater than any other source. Among existing technologies to harness solar energy there is concentrating solar power (CSP). One advantage of CSP is that is dispatchable, meaning that it can provide power even when the sun is not shining. READ MORE

  6. 4. Solar Heating with Seasonal Storage. Some Aspects of the Design and Evaluation of Systems with Water Storage

    Author : Jan-Olof Dalenbäck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solar heating; water storage; solar power; simulation;

    Abstract : The report provides a basis for detailed design and evaluation of future solar heating plants with an insulated seasonal water storage. The importance of careful design and plant commissioning is pointed out and a system simulation model for future analyses of system performance is provided. A general evaluation methodology is presented. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nonlinear Identification and Control with Solar Energy Applications

    Author : Linda Brus; Bengt Carlsson; Torbjörn Wigren; Graham C. Goodwin; Uppsala universitet; []
