2013, Solar EnergyCitation Excerpt :Manzolini et al. (2011, 2012) also presented a detailed steady state PTC plant performance model, applying Forristall’s (2003) modeling approach for the heat collector element. Works related to the second category can be furthermore subdivided into PTC models for transient performance and energy yield simulations (e.g. García et al., 2011; Bergmann et al., 2011; Rossi et al., 2011; Spelling et al., 2012), and PTC models primarily intended for control design (Camacho et al., 1997, 2007a,b; Meaburn and Hughes, 1993; Zunft, 1995; Stuetzle et al., 2004; Valenzuela et al., 2006; Hirsch et al., 2005; Eck and Hirsch, 2007, Gálvez-Carrillo et al., 2009; Yebra et al., 2008, 2010; Powell and Edgar, 2012), some of them also suitable for accurate dynamic energy yield simulations. Regarding PTC models intended for transient energy yield studies, García et al. (2011) presented a PTC plant performance model discretizing one representative collector loop into 4 sections in longitudinal direction.
Numerically assisted analysis of flat and corrugated plate solar collectors thermal performances
2012, Solar EnergyCitation Excerpt :Many later works attempted to improve this 1-D steady state heat transfer model. The examples are the dynamic collector models of Oliva et al. (1991), Meaburn and Hughes (1993), Isakson (1995) and Hilmer et al. (1999), which describe the time dependent spatial temperature distribution in a collector. The numerical method of solving the set of first-order partial differential model equations presented in Hilmer et al. (1999) is applicable for collector performance assessment at in time varying fluid flow rate, solar irradiance and heat transfer coefficients, allowing more accurate prediction of heat losses and fluid outlet temperatures at normal collector operation during a day.
