Abstract

The successful deployment of solar-power-towers lies in the reliable design of solar receivers, assuring the lifetime under high heat flux and cloud passages. Two main damage mechanisms appear during central-receiver operation: creep, during hold times at high temperatures and stresses, and fatigue, caused by transient operation. This work aims to determine the extent of each damage on a Haynes 230 receiver. It is analyzed using transient DNI of a whole year, controlling the operation to guarantee the receiver preheat and minimize the start-ups. The molten-salt flow-rate during cloud passages or hazy days remains as the clear-sky scheduled one, to avoid tube overheat, preventing salt degradation and stress reset, when the clouds cleared.
