The solar-aided power generation (SAPG) technology has been proven to be one of the most efficient ways to integrate solar thermal energy into coal-fired power plants. An open question is whether to integrate the SAPG plant with a thermal energy storage system (TES). Conventionally, most SAPG plants are not designed to include TESs due to high costs …
Abstract: To improve the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of solar thermoelectric power, a concentration solar thermoelectric generator (CTEG) unit based on concentrating and storing energy is designed.
