The objective of this project is to design, construct, and test at the Sandia NSTTF a revolutionary high temperature air-cooled solar receiver in the multi-MW range that can be used to drive a gas turbine, to generate low-cost electricity at $.06/kWh when considered as part of an optimized CSP combined cycle system. The receiver being developed in this research uses a dilute suspension of selectively absorbing carbon nano-particles to absorb highly concentrated solar flux. The concept of a volumetric, selective, and continually replenishable absorber is unique in the solar field.
