Global advancements of solar thermoelectric generators
Based on these studies, it is evident that solar thermoelectric generation based on solar collectors is one of the potential candidates for power generation as well as hybrid systems to
Harnessing solar energy for electric power generation is one of the growing technologies which provide a sustainable solution to the severe environmental issues such as climate change, global warming, and pollution. This chapter deals with the solar thermal power generation based on the line and point focussing solar concentrators.
The power generation for commercial applications using solar thermal technologies was started in 1985. In the present scenario, solar thermal technologies are getting more attention among other renewable energy technologies as it has high reliability and dispatchability because of its low-cost storage capability.
Rankine, Brayton, and Stirling cycle are commonly used thermodynamic cycles for solar thermal power generation. The integration of thermal energy storage and hybridization of solar thermal energy systems with conventional power generation systems improves the performance and dispatchability of the solar thermal systems.
Solar thermal power plants are composed of three processes: collection and conversion of solar radiation into heat, conversion of heat to electricity, and thermal energy storage to mitigate the transient effects of solar radiation on the performance of the system.
Based on these studies, it is evident that solar thermoelectric generation based on solar collectors is one of the potential candidates for power generation as well as hybrid systems to
