“…Fluidizing the particles within tubes has been shown to enhance the heat transfer with respect fixed bed or free-falling designs. Some technical challenges, mainly associated with the flow and heat transfer characteristics of solid particles in the receiver, must be solved for commercial viability of solid particles technologies [21], [22]. For large scale applications significant particle mass flow rates is required and gravity-driven flow (free-falling or with obstructions) appears to be the most promising [21].…”

“…In recent years, many novel structures of the solar receiver have been proposed and investigated. A solid particle receiver [23] is an effective receiver for its high heat capacity and heat transfer coefficient. Nie et al [24] investigated the properties of solid particles as a heat transfer fluid in a gravity-driven moving bed solar receiver.…”

The temperature distribution and thermal efficiency of a molten salt cavity receiver are investigated by a nonuniform heat transfer model based on thermal resistance analysis. For the cavity receiver MSEE in Sandia National Laboratories, thermal efficiency in this experiment is about 87.5%, and the calculation value of 86.93–87.79% by a present nonuniform model fits very well with the experimental result. Different from the uniform heat transfer model, the receiver surface temperature in the nonuniform heat transfer model is remarkably higher than the backwall temperature. The incident radiation flux plays a primary role in thermal performance of cavity receiver, and thermal efficiency approaches to maximum under optimal incident radiation flux. In order to increase thermal efficiency, various methods are proposed and studied, including heat convection enhancement by an increase of flow velocity or the decrease of the tube diameter and number of tubes in the panel, and heat loss decline by a decrease of view factor, surface emissivity and insulation conductivity. According to calculation results by different modes of the nonuniform heat transfer model, the thermal efficiency of the cavity receiver is reduced by nonuniform heat transfer caused by variable fluid temperature or variable circumferential temperature, so thermal efficiency calculated by variable fluid temperature and variable circumferential temperature is lower than that calculated by average fluid temperature and bilateral uniform circumferential temperature for 0.86%.

“…However, the utilization of renewable energy was restricted by environmental and technological factors. Therefore, a complementary system of non-renewable energy and renewable energy came into being [3]. Additionally, solar energy is a clean and inexhaustible renewable energy, while natural gas is a non-renewable energy with the characteristics of high calorific value, convenient transportation, stable and continuous [4,5].…”

This paper proposes a natural gas assisted solar low-concentrating photovoltaic/thermal trigeneration (NG-LCPV/T-TG) system. This novel system simultaneously provides electrical, thermal and cooling energy to the user. The design and dynamic simulation performance of the NG-LCPV/T-TG system is completed using Transient System Simulation (TRNSYS) software. The results show that the system can satisfy the requirements of the cooling and heating load. The proposed system maintains the experimental room temperature at about 25 °C under the cooling mode, at about 20 °C under the heating mode. The electrical and thermal energy produced by the low-concentrating photovoltaic/thermal (LCPV/T) system are 3819 kWh and 18,374 kWh. Meanwhile, the maximum coefficient of performance (COP) of the low temperature heat pump (LHP), high temperature heat pump (HHP) and chiller are 5, 2.2 and 0.6, respectively. This proposed system realizes the coupling of natural gas and solar energy in a building. In summary, this trigeneration system is feasible and it promotes the implementation of building integrated high-efficiency energy supply system.
