ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates energy generation by large-scale solar tower power plants. The performance characteristics of a so-called reference plant with a 4000 m diameter glass collector roof and a 1500 m high, 160 m diameter tower are determined for a site located in South Africa. The relevant draught and conservation equations are derived, discretized and implemented in a numerical model which solves the equations using speci ed meteorological input data and determines the power delivered by the plant. The power output of a solar tower power plant over a twenty-four hour period is presented. Corresponding temperature distributions in the ground under the collector are shown. Variations in seasonal generation are evaluated and the total annual electrical output is determined. The dependency of the power output on collector diameter and tower height is illustrated, while showing that greater power production can be facilitated by optimizing the roof shape and height. The minor in uence of the tower shadow falling across the collector is evaluated, while the e ect of prevailing winds on the power generated is found to be signi cant.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek elektrisiteitsopwekking deur grootskaalse sontoringkragstasies. Die uitsetkarakteristieke van 'n sogenaamde verwysings-kragstasie met 'n 4000 m deursnee glas kollektor en 'n 1500 m hoë, 160 m deursnee toring word ondersoek vir 'n spesi eke ligging in Suid-Afrika. Die toepaslike trek- en behoudsvergelykings word afgelei, gediskretiseer en geimplementeer in 'n numeriese rekenaarmodel. Die rekenaarmodel los die betrokke vergelykings op deur gebruik te maak van gespesi seerde meteorologiese invoerdata en bepaal dan die uitset gelewer deur die kragstasie. Die uitset van 'n sontoring-kragstasie oor 'n periode van vier-en-twintig uur word getoon. Ooreenstemmende temperatuurverdelings in die grond onder die kollektor word geïllustreer. Die variasie in seisoenale elektrisiteitsopwekking word ondersoek en die totale jaarlikse elektriese uitset bepaal. Die invloed wat die kragstasie dimensies (kollektor deursnee en toring hoogte) op die uitset het, word bestudeer en resultate getoon. Daar is ook bevind dat verhoogde uitset meegebring kan word deur die vorm en hoogte van die kollektordak te optimeer. Die geringe e ek van die toringskadu op die kollektor word bespreek, terwyl bevind is dat heersende winde 'n beduidende e ek op die kragstasie uitset het.

Central Receiver Systems (CRS) are gaining momentum because of their high concentration and high potential to reduce costs by means of increasing the capacity factor of the plant with storage. In CRS plants, sunlight is focused onto the receiver by the arrangement of thousands of mirrors to convert the solar radiation into heat to drive thermal cycles. Solar receivers are used to transfer the heat flux received from the solar field to the working fluid. Generally, solar receivers work in a high-temperature environment and are therefore subjected to different heat losses. Also, the receiver has a notable impact on the total cost of the power plant. Thus, the design and modelling of the receiver has a significant influence on efficiency and the cost of the plant. The goal of the master thesis is to develop a design methodology to calculate the geometry of the receiver and its efficiency. The design methodology is mainly aimed at large-scale power plants in the range of 100 MWe, but also the scalability of the design method has been studied. The developed receiver design method is implemented in the in-house design tool devISEcrs and also it is integrated with other modules like solar field, storage and power block to calculate the overall efficiency of the power plant. The design models for other components are partly already implemented, but they are modified and/or extended according to the requirements of CRS plants. Finally, the entire receiver design model is validated by comparing the results of test cases with the data from the literature.

Björkman, Nils. "Heliostat Design." Thesis, KTH, Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.), 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-157159.
En heliostat är en motordriven spegel som används i tornsolkraftverk, kända som Solar Power Tower, även kallade Central Receiver system. Tekniken har funnits sedan 1970-talet och går ut på att hundratals eller tusentals heliostater speglar solstrålarna till toppen av ett högt torn, där stålningsenergin omvandlas till värmeenergi, som t.ex. kan användas till att driva ångturbiner och producera elektricitet. Demonstrationsanläggningar har byggts i bland annat USA och Spanien, och ett flertal nya installationer har tillkommit sedan år 2005. För att verkligen nå ett kommersiellt genombrott måste tekniken göras billigare så att solelen kan produceras till minst lika bra pris som andra alternativ, så som t.ex. solceller, kärnkraft och kolkraft. En kritisk komponent för tornsolkraftverkens ekonomi är kostnaden för heliostaterna, som beräknas stå för ungefär 50 % av anläggningens totala investeringskostnad. Den här rapporten avhandlar heliostaten ur ett mångfacetterat perspektiv där olika konstruktionsspår förklaras. Vidare behandlar rapporten spegelgeometrier, och en Matlab-kod som genererar tillverkningsmått för en rotationssymmetrisk paraboloidformad spegelyta finns bifogad. Att undersöka vindlaster är bland det viktigaste i ett heliostatutvecklingsprojekt, eftersom dessa är de dimensionerande lasterna för designarbetet. Här används en vindlastberäkningsmetod utgiven av Sandia National Laboratories, som kortfattat går ut på att man multiplicerar det dynamiska vindtrycket med en korrigeringsfaktor som baserats på emiriska studier av heliostatmodeller i vindtunnel. En dimensioneringsprocess för heliostater föreslås och utvecklingsgången för två Azimut-Elevation heliostater i storlek 25 m 2 resp. 49 m2 demonstreras. FEM-mjukvara nyttjas som det främsta verktyget för att dimensionera heliostatkonstruktioner som kan stå emot vindlasterna. Slutligen ges förslag på innovativa tekniska lösningar för spegelmontering, glidlager, montering av elevation-motorerna, och en unik azimut-motormodul, vilken använder stålvajrar som remmar och har en integrerad broms. Med all denna information bör Robotics Lab på IISc ha en god grund att stå på inför vidare forskning inom konstruktion och styrning av heliostater.
