“…199,[204][205][206] Finally, some recent work in the literature has investigated using gas-based HTFs, e.g., using pressurized air and steam, which can reduce the cost of electricity production. 201,207 16). Therefore larger fluid volumes are required that demand larger storage space and higher costs.…”

Concentrating solar power (CSP) is a reliable and wellknown form of solar power. Nine solar trough plants producing more than 400 megawatts (MW) of electricity have been operating reliably in the California Mojave Desert since the 1980s. With a renewed sense of urgency to commercialize renewable energy sources, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is ramping up its CSP research, development, and deployment efforts. These efforts, which are leveraging both industry partners and the national laboratories, are directed toward the development of parabolic trough, dish/engine, and power tower CSP systems.

“…Analysis and practical experience with DSG systems indicates that operating a DSG system at pressures less than about 20 bar leads to excessive pressure drops in the system and difficult control [37,38]. Commercially, solar DSG plants are run in recirculating mode (Figure 35) and once-through mode, with the former design being more common.…”

“…An alternative option to conventional CSP systems, is direct steam generation (DSG). In the case of a steam-Rankine cycle, such a system operates with water which is used directly as the heat transfer fluid (HTF) in the solar receivers, and which also acts as the working fluid in the thermodynamic power-cycle (Hirsch et al, 2014) as is represented in a simplistic example of such a system type (Birnbaum et al, 2010) in Figure 1.…”
