Abstract A new optimization method was proposed to design high-performance deformable petal heliostat fields for concentrated solar power. The petal field was divided into individual sectors, each separately designed to balance pattern orderliness and flexibility. A suitable high-dimensional optimization algorithm…
Germany’s latest offshore wind tender has received two zero-subsidy bids. Rather, in the next step of the process the developers will expectedly make payment offers for rights to develop 1GW, reports Recharge News, citing German federal network regulator Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA).…
AbstractFalling particle receiver (FPR) systems are a rapidly developing technology for concentrating solar power applications. Solid particles are used as both the heat transfer fluid and system thermal energy storage media. Through the direct irradiation of the solid particles, flux…
The Republicans have done the unthinkable. Wind power has resurrected many farms and ranches and their communities in Texas, but all-hail-the-king, Trump-kissing Texas lawmakers have supported bills in the Republican-held legislature that, if passed, would undo years of work that…
