  1. 1. Introducing a central receiver system for industrial high-temperature process heat applications : A techno-economic case study of a large-scale CST plant system in a South African manganese sinter plant

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Maria Hallberg; Elin Hallme; [2019]
    Keywords : Solar energy; concentrating solar thermal; CST; central receiver system; CR; HelioPod; high-temperature process heat; manganese; business case; Solenergi; koncentrerad termisk solvärme; CST; soltorn; HelioPod; högtempererad processvärme; mangan; affärsmodell;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to investigate the potential for introducing a concentrating solar thermal (CST) central receiver plant system based on flexible heliostats - HelioPods - to provide high-temperature process heat in industrial applications. A CST plant system was designed in MATLAB, optically simulated for three design days in the ray-tracing software Tonatiuh and further analyzed in MATLAB by interpolating the results for each hour of the year.
