Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Modellierung eines solaren Partikelreceivers. Beim Partikelreceiver handelt es sich um ein Konzept zur Absorption konzentrierter solarer Strahlung mit Hilfe von Feststoffpartikeln. Zunächst wird der aktuelle Stand der Wissenschaft und Technik beleuchtet. Es werden verschiedene Konzepte für Partikelreceiver beschrieben und anhand festgelegter Kriterien bewertet. Der Fallfilmreceiver, bei dem die Absorption der konzentrierten Solarstrahlung in einem Vorhang aus fallenden Partikeln erfolgt, ist vielversprechend für die großtechnische Stromerzeugung. Der aktuelle Stand der Technik bezüglich der Modellierung von Fallfilmreceivern wird vorgeste...
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung eines Wanderbettwärmeübertragers für den Einsatz in solarthermischen Kraftwerken, in denen Partikelschüttungen als Wärmeträger- und -speichermaterial eingesetzt werden. Im Rahmen der Arbeit wurde zunächst eine Charakterisierung geeigneter Materialien vorgenommen. Anschließend wurden mithilfe eines CFD-Mehrphasenmodells Geometrie- und Parameterstudien durchgeführt. Unter Berücksichtigung der Materialeigenschaften wurde daraufhin ein angepasstes Wärmeübertragerdesign für die Zielanwendung entwickelt. Ein auf diesem Entwurf basierender Wärmeübertrager wurde mithilfe von CFD-Berechnungen hinsichtlich des granularen Strömungsverhaltens und der thermischen Leistungsfähigkeit untersucht. Durch Experimente im Labormaßstab wurden die Simulationsergebnisse validiert und gleichzeitig die Funktionalität des Wärmeübertragers nachgewiesen. Das angepasste Design des Wanderbettwärmeübertragers zeigt im Vergleich mit einer herkömmlichen Rohrbündelkonfiguration eine deutliche Verbesserung der thermischen Leistungsfähigkeit. Daraus ergibt sich ein hohes Potential für den Einsatz im solaren Kraftwerksbereich.

The novel concept of a particle receiver for high-temperature concentrating solar applications was developed and investigated in the present work. The so-called Centrifugal Particle Receiver (CentRec) uses small bauxite particles as absorber, heat transfer and storage media at the same time. Due to advantageous optical and thermal properties, the particles can be heated up to 1000°C without sintering in the storage. High thermal efficiencies at high outlet temperatures are expected indicating a promising way for cost reduction in solar power tower applications. A prototype in laboratory scale was designed, built and tested in order to demonstrate the feasibility and potential of the proposed concept. The expected simple control capability of the receiver could be verified and the target temperature of 900°C successfully demonstrated. A thermal efficiency of > 85% is calculated by a validated corresponding numerical model for a particle outlet temperature of 900°C and a design power of 1 MW/m2.
