Particle-based systems are being pursued to enable higher temperatures (>700 °C) with direct storage for next-generation, dispatchable, concentrating solar power (CSP) plants, process heating, thermochemistry, and solar fuels production .
However, due to unstable and intermittent nature of solar energy availability, one of the key factors that determine the development of concentrated solar power technology is the integration of efficient and cost-effective heat transfer fluid and thermal energy storage systems.
Solid particle solar receiver (SPSR) is the key equipment to absorb the concentrated solar flux, and its thermal performance is remarkably affected by receiver system designs, particle flow characteristics, and properties of solid particulate materials.
Initially, the application of solid particles in solar receiver technology is to obtain high temperature gas, instead of high temperature solid particles. In this concept, the solid particles are enclosed in a solar receiver and transfer the absorbed heat to the inlet gas stream.
1. Introduction Renewable energy plays a crucial role in addressing the global energy challenge and reducing carbon emissions. Among various renewable energy technologies, concentrated solar power
Concentrating solar technologies can be used to generate electricity and process heat from sunlight, with the capability to store energy for use at night or when insolation is low.
The intermittent nature of solar resources creates a big challenge for solar energy utilization, especially for large-scale applications, which require a continuous supply of energy [2]. In this regard,
Particle-based concentrated solar power (CSP) systems have been identified as a high-potential technology for lowering the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) due to their higher working
