Thermo-economic analysis of high-temperature sensible thermal storage with different ternary eutectic alkali and alkaline earth metal chlorides

Journal Article Mohan, Gowtham ; Venkataraman, Mahesh ; Gomez-Vidal, Judith ; ... - Solar Energy

Molten salt mixtures with alkali and alkaline earth metal chlorides were developed for high-temperature sensible thermal energy storage in support of concurrent efforts to develop high-temperature advanced power cycles for concentrating solar power applications. Four ternary chloride mixtures with different cation combinations (Na, K, Li, Mg) were designed using the FactSage® software, and for three of these, the eutectic point was experimentally validated by differential scanning calorimetry. Specific heat capacity measurements were conducted following the ASTM E1269 standard, and were measured between 1.18 J/g/K and 1.31 J/g/K. The mass loss of the molten chloride salts was studied under three differentmore »« less

Field testing of thermoplastic encapsulants in high‐temperature installations

Journal Article Kempe, Michael D. ; Miller, David C. ; Wohlgemuth, John H. ; ... - Energy Science & Engineering

Abstract Recently there has been increased interest in using thermoplastic encapsulant materials in photovoltaic modules, but concerns have been raised about whether these would be mechanically stable at high temperatures in the field. Recently, this has become a significant topic of discussion in the development of IEC 61730 and IEC 61215. We constructed eight pairs of crystalline‐silicon modules and eight pairs of glass/encapsulation/glass thin‐film mock modules using different encapsulant materials, of which only two were formulated to chemically crosslink. One module set was exposed outdoors with thermal insulation on the back side in Mesa, Arizona, in the summer (hot‐dry), andmore »« less

Molten chloride salts for next generation CSP plants: Electrolytical salt purification for reducing corrosive impurity level

Journal Article Ding, Wenjin ; Gomez-Vidal, Judith ; Bonk, Alexander ; ... - Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells

In this study, electrolysis with a Mg anode is presented to purify the molten chloride salt (MgCl₂/KCl/NaCl 60/20/20 mol.%) for reducing its corrosivity. Using a Mg anode, the production of toxic gases like Cl₂ on an inert anode (e.g., tungsten) can be avoided. Moreover, compared to an inert anode, a lower over-potential is required to remove the corrosive impurity MgOH⁺ in the molten salt due to the high reactivity of Mg. In order to evaluate the effect of the salt purification, the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method developed in our previous work is used to in-situ measure the concentration of themore »« less

High Temperature Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage Applications: Preprint

Conference Gomez, Judith ; Glatzmaier, Greg C. ; Starace, Anne ; ...

To store thermal energy, sensible and latent heat storage materials are widely used. Latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) systems using phase change materials (PCM) are useful because of their ability to charge and discharge a large amount of heat from a small mass at constant temperature during a phase transformation. Molten salt PCM candidates for cascaded PCMs were evaluated for thetemperatures near 320 degrees C, 350 degrees C, and 380 degrees C. These temperatures were selected to fill the 300 degrees C to 400 degrees C operating range typical for parabolic trough systems, that is, as one might employmore »« less
