Developed Solar Library to enable solar hybrid GT cycle modelling

Studied different gas turbine configurations and hybridization types o Recuperated schemes appear more suitable for solar hybridization o Fuel-only engines solar retrofitted (FRS) show higher specific

power and fuel thermal efficiency compared to solar-only operation at design point (SDP)

o Optimum design between FRS and SDP operation to be established

An alternative to thermal storage for exploitation of rejected power was shown: Dual Fluid Receiver for STIG o Removes energy production penalty o Based on proven technologies (STIG & solar steam production)
