Coalitional model predictive control of parabolic-trough solar collector fields with population-dynamics assistance

Ana Sanchez-Amores et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel coalitional control approach for large-scale parabolic-trough solar collector fields. The approach splits the field into smaller subsystems, each governed by a local controller. Controllers are clustered into coalitions to solve local optimization problems, achieving an approximate solution to the centralized problem in a decentralized manner. A population-dynamics-assisted resource allocation strategy is proposed to decouple the optimization problems of the coalitions, reducing computational burden while ensuring operational constraints and overall performance.

A continuum model for heat and mass transfer in moving-bed reactors for thermochemical energy storage

David Korba et al.

Summary: In this study, a continuum heat and mass transfer model was developed for stationary packed-bed and counter-flow moving-bed reactors. The model was validated and compared with a previous 1D model. The results show that capturing the radial variation is critical in reactor modeling, and the 2D model demonstrates improved agreement with experiments.

Discrete particle modelling of buoyant convective particle-laden air flow in solar cavity free-falling particle receivers

Sahan Trushad Wickramasooriya Kuruneru et al.

Summary: A numerical model combining computational fluid dynamics and discrete particle method is used to systematically analyze heat losses from a solar cavity particle receiver. The study uncovers the convective heat transfer mechanisms of the receiver while considering the influence of entrained air, air recirculation patterns, and solid-gas thermal dynamics. The results show that particle mass flow rates significantly affect the air recirculation patterns, entrained air, and heat fluxes of the solar receiver.

Zhigang Guo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of tube inclination on heat transfer in granular flow moving bed heat exchangers using a discrete element method. It was found that tube inclination can improve heat transfer by increasing the heat transfer area, but uncertainties exist in the local heat transfer coefficients. Additionally, different effects were observed at different locations along the tube, with bottom area benefiting from increased heat transfer coefficient and top or middle areas experiencing opposing effects.
