Analysis of regenerative thermal storage geometries for solar gas turbines

Author: Klein, Peter ; Roos, TH ; Sheer, J Date: Aug 2014 Ceramic heat regenerators are suited to providing thermal storage for concentrating solar power stations based on a recuperated gas turbine cycle. Randomly packed beds of spheres and saddles; honeycombs and checker bricks were identified as ... Read more
Concentrating solar power research at CSIR

Author: Roos, T Date: Oct 2012 This presentation details the development of a 500kW thermal concentrating solar research facility at the CSIR. Read more
A focussed dynamic path finding algorithm with constraints

Author: Leenen, L ; Terlunen, A Date: Nov 2013 The Military Unit Path Finding Problem (MUPFP) is the problem of finding a path from a starting point to a destination where a military unit has to move, or be moved, safely whilst avoiding threats and obstacles and minimising path cost in ...

Integration of renewable energy and energy efficiency into high temperature applications

Author: Roos, T ; Surridge-Talbot, K Date: Oct 2015 Numerous economically important high temperature processes contribute to South African emissions; this is apart from the electricity generation sector which is responsible for half of South African emissions. Some are driven by fossil fuel ... Read more
Measurements of mirror soiling at a candidate CSP site

Author: Griffith, DJ ; Vhengani, L ; Maliage, M Date: Sep 2013 Loss of mirror reflectivity due to soiling at Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants is a significant consideration for design and operation of the plant. Increasingly, a bankable case for establishment of a new plant will include an evaluation ... Read more
Optimising the concentrating solar power potential in South Africa through an improved GIS analysis

Author: Duvenhage, DF ; Brent, AC ; Stafford, William HL ; Van Den Heever, D Date: Jun 2020 Renewable Energy Technologies are rapidly gaining uptake in South Africa, already having more than 3900 MW operational wind, solar PV, Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and biogas capacity. CSP has the potential to become a leading Renewable ... Read more
Statistics of utility-scale power generation in South Africa in 2020

Author: Calitz, Joanne R ; Wright, Jarrad G Date: Feb 2021 This presentation provides statistics on utility-scale power generation in South Africa in 2020. Coal still dominates the South African energy mix whilst variable renewables surpassed nuclear energy contribution in 2020 by some margin. System ... Read more
Statistics of utility-scale solar PV, wind and CSP in South Africa in 2017

Author: Calitz, Joanne R ; Wright, Jarrad G Date: Feb 2018 This presentation contains statistics of utility-scale solar PV, wind and CSP in South Africa in 2017 Read more
Water and CSP—Linking CSP water demand models and national hydrology data to sustainably manage CSP development and water resources in arid regions

Author: Duvenhage, F ; Brent, AC ; Stafford, William HL ; Grobbelaar, S Date: Apr 2020 A systematic approach to evaluate Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant fleet deployment and sustainable water resource use in arid regions is presented. An overview is given of previous work carried out. Once CSP development scenarios, ... Read more
