An Integrated Light Pipe Receiver and Thermal Energy Storage
Abstract: An integrated light pipe receiver and thermal energy storage (TES) architecture is proposed for solar process heat applications. Simulations demonstrate the benefits of increased heat transfer area to a low conductivity TES medium and reduced surface radiation losses. When compared against a baseline design with a hemispherical absorber, the integrated light pipe receiver enables up to a factor of three higher energy storage for distributed absorption relative to localized absorption at the top of the TES. For a lower thermal conductivity TES medium or baselining to a flat-top absorber, an increase in thermal energy storage up to a factor of five results. https://www.tib-op.org/ojs/index.php/solarpaces/article/view/699
