for energy storage and transport. The purpose of the proposed project is to develop and demonstrate the use of solar thermal power systems. To accomplish this objective, a solar power system with distributed collectors is proposed using a reversible chemical reaction for energy storage and power generation. In the proposed system, the working fluid ammonia (NH3) is broken down into its constituents, nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) using a point focusing solar collector. The recombination of nitrogen and hydrogen will yield, at a later time, the energy of combination. Show Less
