Within the EU-funded project 'Clean selective', software and hardware sensors have been developed and used to monitor the ash deposition in the Teruel plant. As hardware sensors in the convective section, strain gauges were applied to the hanger rods of a superheater for the first time. Heat...

Conventional generation units encounter a changing role in modern societies' energy supply. With increased need for flexible operation, engineers and project managers have to evaluate the benefits of technical improvements. For this purpose, a valuation tool has been developed, comparing...

The reversible exothermic reaction of CaO with water is considered one of the most promising reactions for high temperature thermal energy storage. In this paper, a novel technical design of a MW-scale thermochemical energy storage reactor for this reaction is presented. The aim is to provide an...
