DAHAN, the pioneer 1MWe CRS (Central Receiver System) project, is now under construction at the foot of the Great Wall of Badaling in Beijing. The coupled system-collector and solar central receiver, which plays a dominant role in the radiation-heat conversion, is the most important component in...

1 MW Dahan solar thermal power tower plant is modeled from mathematical models for all of the working conditions using the modular modeling method. The dynamic and static characteristics of the power plant are analyzed based on these models. Response curves of the system state parameters are...
