The most advanced thermal energy storage for solar thermal power plants is a two-tank storage system where the heat transfer fluid (HTF) also serves as storage medium. This concept was successfully demonstrated in a commercial trough plant (13.8 MW e SEGS I plant; 120 MWh t storage capacity) and a demonstration tower plant (10 …
The experimental setup consists of a PTC, a thermal storage tank and a circulating pump. The PTC has a reflecting surface which consists of six parabolic mirrors of 1.25 m 2 aperture area each (1 m width and 1.25 m height), with a total aperture area of 7.5 m 2 which concentrates the incoming solar radiation to the absorber tube.
