SIJ is a is a central scientific and interdisciplinary research institute of the Aachen University of Applied Sciences (AcUAS) with 65 employees in 2011. SIJ develops technical solutions and products according the market needs e.g. solar low-temperature systems and solar process-heat collectors as well as high temperature components for solar thermal power plants in close collaboration with the industry and research partners. In addition, components for sea-water desalination and demineralisation are developed in international projects. CHP, Energy Efficiency, Exhaust gas after-treatment and Simulation are further fields of research.

System Analysis


Solar Tower in Jülich, Germany (DLR)

Facts: Number of heliostats: >2000

Heliostat field area: 18,000 m2

Hot air temperature: ~700°C

Electrical power output: 1.5 MW



Facts: Tower height: 60 m

Storage capacity: up to 1.5 h

Volumetric air receiver technology

Advantage of air as HTF: air is available abundantly, non-toxic and does not require freeze-protection

The plant was built by the general contractor Kraftanlagen München (KAM), which is a German piping and plant construction company

The power tower is owned by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) as a research and demonstration unit


SIJ tasks in the project:

Laboratory tests of innovative storage concepts, innovative absorber modules, and data processing

Partners:

German Aerospace Center (DLR) Kraftanlagen München (KAM

Funded by:



Component Development and Simulation for Solar Tower Power Plants at SIJ

Development, tests and simulation of new Heliostat Concepts
