CentRec® solar centrifugal particle receiver
CentRec® solar centrifugal particle receiver
As part of the EU’s PEGASUS project, researchers combined solar heat from the CentRec® particle receiver with indirect thermochemical storage of solar energy in solid sulphur. This image shows the CentRec®300S solar receiver, with a thermal output power of 300 kilowatts, in the Synlight® solar simulator in Jülich. The receiver was tested at high flux densities and used to validate numerical models.
