Shuai Deng, in Advances in Chemical Engineering, 2021 A solar receiver or receiver–reactor is the key component of the solar thermochemical system where the solar irradiation reflected by optical concentrators is absorbed and converted to high-temperature thermal energy or used directly in chemical reactions (Li et al., 2016 ).
Recently developed solid particle solar receivers can achieve high outlet temperatures of above 1000 °C and tolerate temperature differences as high as hundreds of degrees, thus providing a new approach to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar power generation [8, 9].
The receiver contains the working fluid which is heated by the concentrated solar radiation. The useful energy that absorbed by the water flows through the receiver in solar tower plant depending on the angle between the solar rays and the position of heliostat in the region of work.
The horizontal receiver is arranged on the ground and does not require a high solar tower, which can effectively reduce the investment cost of the system. Moreover, the parasitic power needed to transport particles and the energy losses caused by the transport is reduced during operation. Table 3. Comparison of different receivers.
The solar receiver systems concentrate the solar radiation for large-scale energy production including distribution. CSP systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. The concentrated heat is then used as a heat source for a conventional power plant.
Solid particles are generally considered to be the most suitable heat transfer fluid (HTF) and thermal energy storage (TES) materials for the next-generation concentrated solar power (CSP) plant. The operating temperature of the solar receiver can be raised to exceed 800°C by the application of appropriate solid particles.

Central receiver system (CRS) is also known as a solar power tower, which uses a two-axis tracking mirrored collector called heliostats to focus the solar radiation on the central tower. As the temperature increases, heat energy is transferred to heat transfer fluids by a convective mechanism (depicted in Fig. 15).CRS with a minimum of 100 heliostats can withstand from …
