- Description
- This work presents the capabilities of Miscibility Gap Alloy (MGA) thermal storage material to act as a unified capture, storage and discharge material in a concentrated solar power setting. A range of 1500 – 1100 W of thermal power over 0.4 hours was extracted from a MGA storage block, which was heated directly using concentrated sunlight. This power was extracted over a distance of 200 mm using a 50 ml/s flow of water in a 6 mm OD (4mm ID) stainless steel pipe, with the 4 L MGA storage block initially at an average temperature of 440 °C at the beginning of the discharge phase.
