9.1. Introduction Dish concentrating solar power (CSP) systems use parabo.loidal mirrors that track the sun and focus solar energy into a receiver where it is absorbed and transferred to a heat engine/generator or else into a heat transfer fluid that is transported to a ground-based plant.
In solar thermal energy, all concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies use solar thermal energy from sunlight to make power. A solar field of mirrors concentrates the sun’s energy onto a receiver that traps the heat and stores it in thermal energy storage till needed to create steam to drive a turbine to produce electrical power.
A thermal heat-pipe receiver was chosen to isothermally convert the concentrated solar energy from the parabolic dish to the AMTET. Their findings unveiled that the solar dish –AMTEC system produced a net power of 18.54 kW with an efficiency of 20.6%. Fig. 25. The solar dish/AMTEC power system ( Wu et al., 2010 ). 7.2. Micro-cogeneration
The dish is made of a flat support structure with mirrors arranged in a Fresnel-like array and tracks the sun using a hydraulic drive system. The first application was generating high-temperature air as heat transfer fluid (HTF), using a pressurized volumetric receiver.
Solar dish/Stirling system A typical SDSS system is composed of a parabolic concentrator connected to a power conversion unit (PCU) as shown in Fig. 2 (a) and (b). The latter consists of a Stirling engine, a spiral cavity receiver, and an alternator.
The developed system consists of a solar dish concentrator, photovoltaic thermal panels, and HDH desalination unit as shown in Fig. 38. The HDH unit contains an open-water closed-air flow configuration. The concentrator of the solar dish is used as a water heater.
