Development of a Novel High Temperature Continuous Particle Mass Flow Measurement Device for Particle-Based CSP Applications

Abstract: Particle-based concentrating solar power (CSP) technology is one of the generation three (Gen3) CSP technologies that has potential for lowering the levelized cost of electricity produced by this solar thermal power systems. Commercially available ceramic particles, which are rated for high temperature applications up to 1200 °C, were selected for this study. This medium is commonly used as an energy carrier or heat transfer medium in Gen3 CSP research and development efforts [1]. Prior studies at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility (NSTTF) have investigated and evaluated various mass flow measurement methods, and a simple gravimetric temporal load measurement method was chosen as the best candidate for the research purpose [2]. This mass flow measurement method is a batch process and is not a viable solution for commercial-scale power generation applications based on cost, space, process control, and practical system integration factors.
