Session: Concentrated Solar for Power Generation and Chemical Processing I (2011 Annual Meeting)

Tuesday, October 18, 2011: 12:30 PM

208 A (Minneapolis Convention Center)

Description:

This session covers innovations in concentrated solar thermal technology. Solar thermal is currently experiencing a revival in the research and commercial sector. Presentations will cover modeling, design, analysis, experimentation or fundamental studies. High-quality submissions in all receiving technologies (e.g., troughs, Fresnel,central receiving systems) as well as all uses (e.g., electricity, solar fuels, process heat, cogeneration) with and without storage are welcome.
