...D. Laing; W. D. Steinmann; P. Viebahn; F. Gräter; C. Bahl For parabolic trough power plants using synthetic oil as the heat transfer medium, the application of solid media sensible heat storage is an attractive option in terms of investment and maintenance costs. One important aspect in storage...
