The model, written in Matlab, allows to analyze the effects of different design and operating variables on plant performance and cost. Daily and seasonal variations of solar irradiation at different latitudes are considered, and an original approximate model for thermal stratification is included. Since a limited computational time is required, the simulation model can be effectively integrated with a non-linear constrained optimization procedure so as to determine the optimal choice of design variables for different locations and operating conditions. The comparison between a two-variable and four-variable optimization for five different locations at various latitudes has been presented, showing a significant decrease in pay-back time with latitude. Finally a sensitivity analysis on the most important design and operating variables has been performed and presented. It emerges that the optimal insulator thickness always decreases with latitude. The optimal tilt angle is slightly lower than latitude only when the plant is designed to cover the whole thermal load, while higher tilt values are selected in case of partial load covering.展开更多

The slow and smooth spin of the Moon makes its step by step pointing strategy possible. A flat mirror mounted on a gimbal mount is configured to enlarge the sky coverage of the LUT. A Ritehey-Chretien telescope with a Nasmyth focus configuration is adopted to reduce the total length of the system. A UV enhanced back illuminated AIMO CCD 47-20 chip together with the low noise electric design will minimize the instrumental influence on the system. The preliminary proposal for astrometric calibration and photometric cali- bration are also presented.展开更多
