Techno-Economic Optimization and Benchmarking of a Solar-Only Powered Combined Cycle with High-Temperature TES Upstream the Gas Turbine
Fritz Zaversky,Iñigo Les,Marcelino Sánchez,Benoît Valentin,Jean-Florian Brau,Frédéric Siros,Jonathon McGuire,Flavien Berard +7 more
- 09 Dec 2019
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a parametric study of an innovative central receiver solar thermal power plant layout that applies the combined cycle (CC) as thermodynamic power cycle and a multi-tower solar field configuration together with open volumetric air receivers (OVARs).
Optimization of a decoupled combined cycle gas turbine integrated in a particle receiver solar power plant

- 26 Jul 2019
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the best combined cycle configuration by exploring various design options where Turbine Exhaust Temperature (TET) and compressor outlet temperature vary, and a detailed technoeconomic optimization of the Dense Particle Suspension Heat eXchanger (DPS-HX) train that provides the heat input to the gas turbine's working air, is paid to the particle-side layout.
