ABSTRACT:
A dynamic simulation model of the solar subsystem of a molten-salt-in-tube central receiver power plant was constructed. It consists of 132 ordinary differential equations and is programmed in the System Simulation Language. The model was validated with experimental data obtained at the

Central Receiver Test Facility and was shown to accurately predict actual receiver performance. It can be used to perform the following types of studies: (1) optimization of control algorithms for salt-in-tube receiver plants, (2) analysis of system performance during transient conditions, (3) response of the system following component failures, and (4) optimization of power production. The model is user friendly, includes several real-time graphic displays, and runs real time on a personal computer. Show Less
