Contents:
Introduction to CSP systems and performance / P. Heller -- Principles of CSP performance assessment / N. Janotte, S. Wilbert, F. Sallaberry, M. Schroedter-Homscheidt, L. Ramirez -- Mirrors / A. Fernandex-Garcia, F. Sutter, J. Fernadndex-Reche, E. Lupfert -- Receivers / J. Pernpeintner -- System performance measurements / U. Herrmann, D. Kearney, M. Roger, C. Prahl -- Assessment of durability and accelerated aging methodology / R. Sutter, A. Ferandex-Garcia, J. Wette, F. Wiesinger -- New methods and instruments for performance and durability assessment / M. Roger, C. Prahl, J. Pernpeintner, F. Sutter -- Methods to provide meteorological forecasts for optimum CSP systems operations / M. Schroedter-Homscheidt, S. Wilbert.
Summary: This book offers an overview of the information on the state-of-the-art of analysis, measurement, and assessment of the performance of concentrated solar power (CSP) components and systems in a comprehensive, compact, and complete manner. Following an introductory chapter to CSP systems and the fundamental principles of performance assessment, individual chapters explore the component performance of mirrors and receivers. Further expert-written chapters look at system performance assessment, durability testing, and solar resource forecasting for CSP systems. A final chapter gives an outlook on the actual methods and instruments for performance and durability assessment that are under development.
