TOPCSP project was represented by Israel Aguilera (CNRS), Sergio Díaz (DLR), and Eylül Gedik (RWTH) at the 1st Doctoral Colloquium of EU-Solaris (also known as 18th Sollab Doctoral Colloquium) held in CNRS-PROMES facilities on 3-5 July 2024. The Ph.D. candidates of the TOPCSP project presented their work to world experts and their peers from the leading European solar energy research institutions.
The talks given by TOPCSP researchers are listed as follows:
- Numerical Analysis of Two-Phase Flow in DSG Solar Receivers Using an Euler-Euler Modelling Technique – Israel Aguilera-Cortés, PROMES-CNRS
- CSP data-driven digital twin enhanced by real-time image obtention: a novel universal Flux Density Measurement (FDM) method. – Sergio Díaz, German Aerospace Center
- Enhancement of the Flexibility of CSP Plants’ Power Block: Dynamic Simulations and Potential Improvements – Eylül Gedik, Institute of Power Plant Technology, Steam and Gas Turbines, RWTH Aachen University
The doctoral colloquium hosted fruitful discussions on several aspects of solar energy research and strengthened the network of young CST researchers. Following the colloquium, the CNRS-PROMES Solar Furnace installations, Themis solar tower, and e-Llo fresnel solar plant were visited in the scope of the technical tour.
