Modeling and Optimization of a Solar Thermal Storage for Concentrating Solar Power Plants, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Boroushaki, Mehrdad (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the main components of any solar power plant is the heat storage. Implementing heat storage reduc-es the cost of power generation by increasing the capacity factor of the system. This Thesis aims to analyze the operation of heat storages by modeling latent heat
storage. In this regard, an efficient method named "Method of Characteristics" is utilized. Models developed based on this method are possible to be used for comparison, sensitivity analysis, and optimization due to their low computation time. Sensitivity analysis was carried out based on various parameters such as void fraction, fiUer material size. Results show that using latent heat storage, storage c-apacity is...
