Abstract

This work presents the comprehensive development of a solar receiver for the integration into a micro gas-turbine solar dish system. Special focus is placed on the thermo-mechanical design to ensure the structural integrity of all receiver components for a wide range of operating conditions. For the development, a 3-dimensional coupled multi-physics model is established and is validated using experimental data. Contrary to previous studies, the temperature of the irradiated front surface of the absorber is included in the comprehensive validation process which results in a high level of confidence in the receiver design.
