研究目的
Developing research and innovation in the field of heat transfer fluids, thermal energy storage, solar thermal power conversion at small scale, power plant operation strategy, and serving as a tool for training.
研究成果
The MicroSol-R CSP micro-power plant is operational and serves as a flexible platform for testing different subsystems. Initial results qualify the potential and reliability of the installation, with ongoing tests to further optimize performance.
研究不足
The solar tracking system can be improved as indicated by the lower transmitted power in one of the parabolic trough collectors. The incidence angle loss factor from literature might be too pessimistic for this specific installation.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The MicroSol-R platform is designed for flexibility to test different subsystems including a parabolic trough solar field, thermocline thermal energy storage, and an organic Rankine cycle.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The platform uses JARYSOL? 30 as the heat transfer fluid and alumina spheres as filler material in the thermocline tank.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes parabolic trough collectors, thermocline tank with solid filler, conventional TES tanks, steam generator unit, and ORC production unit.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Involves testing solar components or sub-systems, thermal performances checking, aging tests with the oil circuit, and studying the impact of injection and extraction conditions on thermocline performances.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Performance indicators for the ORC include net cycle efficiency and electrical isentropic efficiency of the expander.
