Modeling of the heat energy produced in the solar tower system in the high temperature storage system

It is aimed to obtain high heat by developing a cost-effective system with the CSP (Concentrated Solar Energy) system, to store this heat efficiently, to verify how efficient CSP is when used in heating by integrating it with other energy technologies, in line with the studies in the literature. The principle of the CSP mirror system is to obtain high heat by focusing the incoming sun rays, as in parabola mirrors in the world. High temperatures can be reached on the focusing surface by automatically following the sun vertically on two axes with the computer. Systems that reflect sunlight, which is a natural source, to a certain target point by providing movement in two axes, are defined as heliostats. In this study, two different heliostats with diameters of 6 meters and 3 meters were designed. As well as the designed heliostats are original, they are preferable in terms of cost and availability. Heliostats will be integrated with a solar tower system and heat storage. In the open literature on high temperature thermal storage, research on energy systems has been made and studies focused on the classification of these concepts have been carried out. Preparations have been made to review, design, and model the physical models used to simulate these systems, and to resort to computer-aided analysis. In addition, the studies and researches to be done with analytical methods were compared with the studies in the literature and the system to be developed was critiqued. Solidworks solid modeling program and Ansys program were used for analysis.
