Design of header and coil steam generators for concentrating solar power applications accounting for low-cycle fatigue requirements

Review on Performance Analysis of the Power Block in Concentrated Solar Power Plants

“…Ferruzza et al proposed a design of header and coil steam generators for CSP applications in consideration of low‐cycle fatigue requirements, which can lower the pressure loss and reduce cost. [ 30 ] The results, which were validated by the parameters of real equipment, indicated that the calculated overall heat exchange area and the weight of the whole equipment differ from the actual by no more than 3.6%. González‐Gómez et al modeled the power block transient performance as a series of steady‐state simulations of different loads; however, the heat exchangers in the steam generator system were modeled by coupled transient thermodynamic and stress models to compute the stress.…”

“…[ 29 ] According to low fatigue requirement, Ferruzza et al showed that the optimized design parameters of the entire steam generator structure were given when water pressure loss was 0.1 MPa. [ 30 ] Through optimization, the equipment heating rate increased to 9.1 K min −1 , but the cost increased by 4.2%.…”
