  • Modeling and performance study of a parabolic trough Solar Power Plant using molten salt storage tank in Egypt: effects of Plant site location
    Energy Systems, 2019
    Co-Authors: M. H. Mohamed, A. Z. El-sayed, K. F. Megalla, H. F. Elattar
    Abstract:

    Modeling and performance study of large parabolic trough Solar Power Plant using molten slat storage tank is conducted and presented for three different locations in Egypt (Aswan, Al-Arish and Hurghada) using 16 h storage system. The simulation algorithm and Solar modeling have been created and simulated by MATLAB/SIMULINK program. A comparison between studied cities is introduced to select the best location for constructing the Solar Plant based on selection criteria; hot header outlet temperature, volume (hot and cold) variations during charging and discharging, and cycle Power efficiency. A full design of the thermal Power Plant with the storage tanks is also conducted using a molten salt (60% NaNO_3 and 40% KNO_3). Moreover, hourly electricity Plant output to obtain the influence of the thermal storage tank on the Plant performance was calculated and presented. The results indicated that Aswan city is the optimum location to construct a 500 MW Solar Power Plant under the Egyptian climate. A comparison for current model validation between simulated results and the actual results of existing Plant (Archimede) was fulfilled and good agreement was obtained by maximum error 5%.

  • Recent developments in geometrical configurations of thermal energy storage for concentrating Solar Power Plant
    Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016
    Co-Authors: Qianjun Mao
    Abstract:

    Concentrating Solar Power Plant coupling with thermal energy storage is a new and emerging technology in the renewable energy field. A multitude of research works focus on improving the performance of the Power Plant for getting the higher efficiency and lower cost. Due to the poor thermal conductivity of phase change materials and complex physical/chemical heat transfer process in the storage tank, geometrical configurations of the storage tank are vital for the system's performance, thus affect the large-scale application of concentrating Solar Power Plant. This paper presents a review of geometrical configuration of thermal energy storage tank by summarizing a series of numerical, experimental and theoretical studies in the open literatures. A widespread discussion for thermal energy storage tank in future application has been proposed in the paper. The results can provide a good reference for designing, operating, and energy-saving of thermal energy storage system for concentrating Solar Power Plants.

  • Charge time of the storage material of the tank for a Solar Power Plant
    International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2016
    Co-Authors: Liya Zhang, Hongjun Wu
    Abstract:

    Abstract Concentrating Power Plant coupling with thermal energy storage system is a popular technology during the Solar application process or Solar Power Plant, and researches for the performance of thermal energy storage for concentrating Solar Power Plant have performed over the past four decades and are ongoing. In this paper, temperature distribution and the effects of the parameters i.e., heat conductivity, heat transfer length, inlet velocity, and the diameter of the tube, on the charge time of the storage tank have been investigated based on numerical simulation. The results show that the charge time for the storage tank is about 23 600 s before changing the parameters of the model. The charge time of the storage tank increases with increasing the heat transfer length and decreasing the heat conductivity, inlet velocity, and the diameter of the tube. The results can provide a reference to the state-of-the-art design of Solar storage system.
