8.5.5 Solar Energy Example

Microturbines can be driven by essentially any high temperature heat source, and one emerging application is using concentrated solar energy. Figure 8.27 shows a block diagram of how such a system works. Sunlight is focused onto a receiver using a concentrator such as a dish or tower with individual heliostats. The receiver is constructed to pass this high intensity radiated energy into a heat exchanging chamber and minimize reradiation back out. A quartz window can be used along with high temperature materials such as ceramics inside the receiver to absorb the radiant energy and heat the flow of air from the microturbine.
