The simulation analyses of a dish solar power system with stirling engine in this study are applied to system performance prediction if four different test sites; Seoul, Pusan and Cheju in Korea, and Naha in Japan. The effects of difference of concentrator type such as monolithic and stretched-membrane construction on system efficiency are also evaluated. The total amount of generated power for a year depends on the site. However the total maximum system efficiency in every site is approximately 16% and there isnt striking difference. It is also found that the maximum collector efficiency of stretched-membrane concentrator is about 3∼15% lower than that of the monolithic type.

A theoretical and experimental study was conducted in order to design highly efficient solar air heaters using porous material. Radiative characteristics of glass windows and porous absorbing media were correlated through spectral transmittances measured by the UV-Visible and the FT-IR spectrometers. Using those characteristics the efficiencies of collectors were numerically calculated with the use of the two-flux radiation model. Based on the theoretical results, an experimental solar collector was designed and constructed. Experimental results under various conditions show that the daily efficiencies are over 60% in general and agree well with the theoretically calculated ones.

태양열 이용 축열식 직접접촉 열교환기의 실제 적용을 위한 작동조건도출 및 열교환기내 열전달 특성 규명을 위하여 작동유체를 물보다 가벼운 경우(Texaterm)와 무거운 경우 두가지를 실제 태양열 집열회로상에서 실험하였다. 작동유체가 물보다 가벼운 경우와 무거운 경우에 대해 실제 태양열 집열회로상에서 작동하여 최적 열전달을 위한 작동유체드럽형성과 유동을 도출하였고, 작동유체가 무거운 경우가 가벼운 경우보다 열손실계수가 높음을 알 수 있었다. 작동유체가 축열유체보다 가벼운 경우와 무거운 경우에 대해 실제 태양열 직열회로에서 실험한 결과, 작동유체가 가벼운 경우 체적 열전달계수는 $1.848{\times}10^{-3}w/cm^3^{\circ}C$, 효율은 73%이고 무거운 경우는 $0.128{\times}10^{-2}w/cm^3^{\circ}C$, 효율은 82%로 작동유체가 무거운 경우가 보다 좋은 것으로 나타났다.

The thermal performance of the air receiver filled with porous material for 5kWt dish solar collector installed in Inha University, Korea, is experimentally investigated. The diameter of the parabolic dish is 3.2 m, and its focal length is 2 m. It consists of 10 small pieces of glasses which have their own curvatures, and the effective reflecting area is 5.9 m2. The reflectivity of the glass is 0.95, and the thermal capacity of the system is about 5 kW thermal. The aperture diameter of the cylindrical-shape receiver which is made of stainless steel is 100 mm, and the height is 210 mm. A quartz window is installed at the receiver aperture to minimize the convective heat loss and prevent air leakages. In order to increase the heat transfer area, porous material (nickel-alloy) is inserted into the receiver. Air flows into the upper part of the receiver, which is the opposite side of the aperture. After the air flows through the inside receiver, that goes out of the receiver through 3 exits which are located near the aperture. The volumetric flow rates of air are varied from 600 to 1200 L/min. The thermal efficiency of the receiver ranges from 82% - 92% depending upon the flow rate. The results show that the system efficiency and receiver efficiency increase as the volume flow rate increases as expected. These results from the experiment will be useful for the applications to air heating receivers and solar reactors.

A thermal storage tank with internal heat exchange coils is commonly used in solar thermal systems with a collector area below $100m^2$. The coils are installed in the lower part of the tank because the temperature of the upper part of the tank can drop if the outlet temperature of the collector becomes lower than the upper temperature of the tank, which is a kind of temperature reversal. As an alternative to the well-mixed storage tank with lower coil only, we have proposed a tank with lower and upper coils and have achieved superior thermal stratification in the tank, which results in increased collector efficiency and solar fraction. But, the phenomenon of temperature reversal was often observed in the tank when the load or solar radiation changed rapidly. In the present work, revised control was successfully applied, i.e., to heat only the lower coil using a three way valve if temperature reversal occurs and to operate the collector at a low flow rate when the quality of solar radiation is not good.

본 연구는 현재 국내 농촌에서 문제시되고 있는 벼의 건조와 저장방법을 개선하기위한 한 가지 방법으로써 Grain bin의 이용에 따른 기술적인 적용가능성을 구명하는데 있었으며 건조열원으로서는 상온공기와 Solar collector 에 의한 보충가열공기를 사용하였다. 건조시험에서는 벼의 건조속도, 층별함수율의 변화, 동력소모량, 도청수율 등을 측정 비교하였으며 건조가 완료된 후에는 저장시험도 아울러 실시하였다. 본 시험을 통하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 본시험에 사용된 Solar Collector 는 집열면적이 $27.7m^2M$의 Flat-plate 형식이며 내부에 태양열의 저장모체로서 약 $7m^2M$의 검은 돌을 사용하였다. Collector 의 효율은 35%이었으며 Collector를 통과하여 Bin으로 들어가는 공기의 온도는 외기온에 비하여 주간에는 약 $4^\circ C$, 야간에는 약 $8^\circ C$, 정도 상승된 것으로 나타났다. 2. 상온공기와 Collector를 이용한 건조험결과 안전저장함수율에 도달하는 데 약 7일과 약 5일이 소요되었다. 3. 태양열 건조는 상온통풍건조에 비하여 곡물층간의 함수율차이가 약간 크게 나타났으나 건조속도가 빠를뿐만 아니라 동력소모량도 적은 것으로 분석되었다. 4. 건조시험이 완료된 직후 이차에 걸쳐 Bin 내에서 저장시험을 실시한 결과 저장기간중 벼의 안전보전이 가능했으며 평균함수율이 12.0~14.5%범위에서 유지되었다.

A photovoltaic/thermal (PVT)solar system is the solar technology that allows for simultaneous conversion of solar energy into both electricity and heat. This paper compared the performance of PVT system with a conventional PV module and solar collector and analyzed electrical and thermal efficiency of PVT system in terms of solar irradiance and inlet temperature of the working fluid. Based on the experimental data, thermal and electrical efficiencies of he glazed PVT system were57.9% and14.27% under zero reduced temperature condition which were lower by 13.6% than the solar thermal absorber plate and by 0.08% than the PV module respectively. For the unglazed PVT system it had lower thermal efficiency than the solar thermal absorber plate but higher electrical performance than the PV module due to the cooling effect by the working fluid. However, total efficiency of the glazed PVT system was72.2% which was higher than combined efficiencies of the solar collector and PV module. Besides, total efficiency of the PVT system would be much higher if calculated based on unit area.

Steam reforming of methane is the most wide spread method for hydrogen production. It has heed studied more than 60 years. methane reforming has advantages in technological maturity and economical production cost. Using a high-temperature solar thermal energy is an advanced technology in Steam reforming process. The synthesis gas, the product of the reforming process, can be applied directly for a combined cycle or separated for a hydrogen. In this paper, hydrogen conversion rate of a solar chemical reactor is calculated using commercial CFD program. 2 models are considered. Model-1 is original model which is designed from the former researches. And model-2 is ring-disk set of baffle is inserted to enhance the performance.
