Technical and Economic Feasibility Study of the application of anodized aluminum sheets in the solar field of Heliothermal Power Plants
Keywords
Abstract
The work analyzes the technical economic feasibility of the application of anodized aluminum sheets, instead of glass mirrors, in the solar field of parabolic cylinder heliothermal plants. The adaptation of this technology to the Brazilian case is evaluated. From the qualitative analysis of the technical specifications of the two types of reflectors, and the simulations carried out in the SAM, it is possible to conclude that systems with glass reflectors have better properties than aluminum mirrors, however, from the economic point of view, aluminum mirrors would allow to achieve economic viability for projects that operate in medium temperature ranges.
