Thermal Energy Processes in Direct Steam Generation Solar Systems: Boiling, Condensation and Energy Storage – A Review

Abstract: solar collectors, evaporators, condensers and relevant energy storage schemes during thermal charging and discharging. A brief overview of some energy storage options are also presented to motivate the inclusion of thermal energy storage into direct steam generation systems.

“…Enhancement of boiling heat transfer is a continued goal of heat transfer research in order to enable or promote a diverse range of technologies. It can lead to more efficient and economically favourable energy systems, from small footprint refrigeration systems to more affordable solar power plants [1]. The passive enhancement of boiling through surface modification has been conducted for decades through the addition of microstructures such as fins to increase the heat transfer area or re-entrant cavities [2], as well as the roughening of surfaces [3] to increase nucleation site density.…”

“…In the context of thermal power-generation, a number of relatively mature technologies are being proposed for deployment in a wide range of applications, including systems based on a variety of power cycles. Serrano et al [12] and Dirker et al [13] explored the potential of using steam Rankine cycle systems for engine waste-heat recovery and solar energy utilization, respectively; Schuster et al [14] conducted energetic and economic investigation of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems for different applications; Lecompte et al [15] focused on the specific waste-heat recovery applications with various ORC architectures; while Bommbarda et al [16] and Reddy et al [17] studied the performance of Kalina cycle systems and conducted comparisons with other technologies. In addition, earlier-stage technologies that are still under development, such as thermoacoustic [18,19] and, more recently, thermofluidic devices, have also attracted attention due to their reduced complexity and costs.…”

“…The consumption of the resources will present significant environmental risks, through global warming [4]. The solar energy as clean, abundant, renewable and new energy has been used widely in construction, transportation, communication and other fields [5][6][7]. Solar energy represents one of the most important energy sources.…”
