1. Observing the radial velocity of the Sun with the AlbaNova heliostat
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för astronomiAbstract : The aim of this project was to investigate the radial velocity variations of the Sun as observed from the Earth. This was accomplished by observing Doppler shifts of spectral lines in the region around 6300 Å. Telluric O2 lines were used as reference. READ MORE

2. Structural Investigations of Novel Heliostat Designs based upon the Hydraulic Infinite Linear Actuator (HILA)
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetsläraAbstract : A heliostat is a device that reflects the sun’s rays to a stationary object. There are two different types of heliostat serial and parallel type. The most used is the serial type of heliostat with Azimuthal-Elevation(Az-El) drive. READ MORE

3. 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 värmeteknologiAbstract : 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.

4. Concentrated Solar Thermal Plant for Future Fuels Production : Process Modeling and Techno-economic Analysis of Syngasoline, Syndiesel, Ethanol and Methanol Production Using Thermochemical Cycle based on Metal Oxide
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : Concentrated Solar Thermal technology (CST) is a very promising renewable energy technology and has a broad range of use. Conventionally, CST systems are mostly used for power generation according to the Rankine cycle and thus often referred to as Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). READ MORE

5. On the Market Potential of Modular Stirling CSP Systems With Storage in the MENA
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : Given the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, integrated storage solutions are necessary to accomplish the energy shift necessary for sustainable development. In the case of solar, PV-BESS tend to be highly capital intensive, especially for long storage hours most needed to guarantee stable electricity production day and night. READ MORE
