Numerical investigation of sand-basalt heat storage system for beam-down solar concentrators

This study aims to investigate the performance of a novel combined receiver storage system (RSS) for beam down solar concentrator. The proposed system consists of large sand volume located at the ground underneath the secondary reflector of the beam-down tower. The top of the storage volume is cover...
