  1. 1. Modelling and Techno-economic Analysis of a Hybrid CSP/PV System using Solid Oxide Electrolyser for Hydrogen Production

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Chuanyin Tang; [2023]
    Keywords : Power to Hydrogen; Solid Oxide Electrolyser; CSP; PV; LCOE; LCOH.;

    Abstract : This project proposes a solar-driven hybrid system for electricity generation and hydrogen production, which includes concentrated solar power (CSP), photovoltaic (PV), solid oxide electrolyser (SOEC). Electricity from the CSP and PV provides a continuous 24/7 supply to meet demand-side power consumption.

  2. 2. Analysis of atmospheric influences on ratio thermography for solar tower systems

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Algebra, geometri och diskret matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Albin Englin; [2022]
    Keywords : Concentrated solar power; Ratio thermography; Shortwave infrared; Gray body assumption; Atmospheric compensation;

    Abstract : The knowledge of temperature and emissivity of the receiver are both critical for a solar tower power plant, in order to guarantee an efficient operation of the thermal receiver on the one hand, while monitoring any degradation of the receiver coating on the other hand. To make these measurements, a new thermographic system is currently being developed, using a multispectral camera working in the short wavelength infrared spectrum. READ MORE

    Abstract : Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a fast-growing technology for electricity production. With mirrors (heliostats) irradiation of the sun is concentrated onto a receiver run through by a heat transfer fluid (HTF). The fluid by that reaches high temperatures and is used to drive a steam turbine for electricity production. READ MORE
