Abstract
A modular-sequential-high-temperature heat collection and storage device with integrated power conversion unit.
Claims9
A system comprising:
- a first solar collection stage that raises the temperature of a medium to a first temperature,
- a second solar collection stage raising the temperature of the medium from the first temperature to a second temperature,
- an Nth solar collection stage further raising the temperature of the medium;
- and
- a thermal load thermally coupled to the medium having the further raised temperature, the thermal load using heat provided by the medium.
2 more elements
A thermal collection system comprising:
- a thermal storage;
- a Stirling engine
- a lens array rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the thermal storage;
- and a linear heat absorber disposed along the longitudinal axis of the thermal storage, the linear heat absorber receiving concentrated thermal energy from the lens array on different portions along its length from different lenses in the lens array, the linear heat absorber receiving concentrated thermal energy from the lens array on different portions of its periphery as the lens array rotates about the longitudinal axis.
