Deliverable 7.1: Report on Preliminary System Modelling

POLYPHEM has submitted another deliverable due within Work Package 7 (WP7) dedicated to System Modelling and Performance Assessment.

This confidential document is the deliverable D7.1 of the project POLYPHEM.

In this WP a dynamic simulation model of the overall plant is developed in several steps, where this report comprises the deliverable for Task 7.1. In this task a preliminary system model has been developed and implemented in the in-house simulation tool ColSim CSP by Fraunhofer ISE. Based on preliminary system components (not experimentally validated), the system is capable of simulation of 2 operation modes namely design mode and off-design mode.

The current ColSim CSP model includes a detailed micro gas turbine model (compressor and gas turbine), heliostat field, solar receiver, the recovery heat exchanger, the primary oil loop, the black box ORC model, and the stratified storage.
