Q: Purpose of your homework
• Start reading about your Sun Shot homework on the Sun Shot website
• Provide a complete as possible analysis of your assigned Sun Shot initiative homework.
• Analyze the risks involved. Two types of risk:
- Business risk (Technology works, but will not have a market)
- Technical risk (The technology cannot overcome technical barriers)
• You will make calculations (using software called SAM) that demonstrates improved performance of Sun Shot technology over existing CSP technology
• Provide your own assessment of the future of the Sun Shot technology
Sun Shot Homework - Receivers and Heat Transfer Fluids
• My TOPIC;
• HALIDE AND OXY-HALIDE EUTECTIC SYSTEMS FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS -
Sun Shot Homework - Power Conversion and Systems
• Sun Shot technical targets for power block subsystems:
- High temperature power cycles
- Net cycle efficiency > 50%
- Dry cooled
- Cost < $1,200/kWe
Result of Your Homework - A Homework Report
• The report provides an analysis of your assigned Sun Shot homework and gives
- A Homework overview
- A discussion of the homework milestones (technical goals that have to be achieved for the technology to work)
- Supporting calculations (your own calculations that show the advantage of the new technology in application)
- Your own homework discussion about the feasibility and the risks involved, and the likelihood of homework success in a commercial setting
• Your work can benefit others!
Your homework
• The final report is 25 pages or less + 5 pages appendix including references
• Most of the information you need to do your homework is on the Internet
• Better to prepare your own graphs and diagrams using graphic software
• Summary of what you will calculate
• 5 page summary of your progress
• Critical assessment of the homework (10 pages max.)
• Power point presentation
• Homework submittal report (25 pages max. or less)
Simulation software to be used in this Homework for concentrated solar power
SAM from NREL
• SAM is renewable energy simulation software designed by NREL to analyze its energy and economic performance.
• Has capabilities to calculate both the energy produced and economic performance of a renewable energy plan
• Applicable to solar PV, concentrating solar collector, solar water heating, wind power, geothermal, biomass.
• Applicable to large scale renewable energy power plant
• You will use SAM for your course Homework in CSP
