INDITEP: The first pre-commercial DSG solar power plant
- E. Zarza, M. Rojas, L. González, J. M. Caballero, F. Rueda
- Environmental Science
- 1 October 2006
This paper presents the conceptual design of the first solar power plant using Direct Steam Generation (DSG) in a parabolic-trough solar field. Experience and know-how in the DSG process acquired… Expand
A two‐stage stochastic integer programming model for a thermal power system expansion
- Víctor M. Albornoz, Pablo Benario, M. Rojas
- Mathematics
- 1 May 2004
In this paper the obtaining of an optimum policy in the capacity expansion planning of a particular thermal-electric power system is proposed. Therefore, a two-stage stochastic integer programming is… Expand
Integrating a Fresnel solar boiler into an existing coal-fired power plant: a case study
- R. Millán, J. D. Lalaing, E. Bautista, M. Rojas, F. Gӧrlich
- Engineering
- 2012
Abstract: A Fresnel solar boiler is used to investigate the influence of a superheated-steam generating solar add-on on the overall performance of a 350 MW coal-fired power plant in two promising… Expand
Procedures for testing valves and pressure transducers with molten salt
- M. Rodríguez-García, M. Rojas, M. Perez
- Engineering
- 25 May 2016
Abstract Thermal energy storage has been identified as an effective method for improving the capacity of concentrating solar power plants. The most commonly-used storage media is molten salt (also… Expand
Thermal gradient avoidance under stratified two-phase flow in DSG by capillar structures
- M. Rojas, J. I. Ajona
- Chemistry
- 1 March 1999
The benefits of substitution of thermal oil with water in two phase flow for electricity production in parabolic trough solar fields have been pointed out in several papers, [1]. The need of covering… Expand
A new methodology for experimental determination of liquid–gas interphase positions on a heated solid
Abstract In this paper a new methodology is presented to experimentally quantify liquid front positions on a heated solid when working under two-phase flow conditions. Applicable to solids, of which… Expand
Theoretical and experimental study of two-phase flow in micro-channels grooved into horizontal pipes
Designing capillary systems to enhance heat transfer in LS3 parabolic trough collectors for direct steam generation (DSG)
- M. Rojas, M. Andrés, L. González
- Materials Science
- 2008
Abstract Direct steam generation (DSG) has been the main research line in parabolic trough technology for many years now, due to its potential to improve the global efficiency of the power generation… Expand
