Abstract
In the perspective of transitioning from fossil fuels, diversifying energy production, and providing an alternative to critical materials, the following thesis aims to analyze a solar receiver, exploring thermal energy storage technologies. The system under consideration is the dish solar concentrator located at the Energy Center, where measurements were conducted using different receiver materials. After the data collection from the receiver and the analysis of the various materials, the next step involved the modeling on COMSOL Multiphysics, which allowed the visualization of the thermal behavior of the receiver and the temperature distribution. Following this, an attempt was made to integrate the basic model with thermal storage using various phase change materials and to find an optimal configuration of operation and internal arrangement.
Thermal energy storage systems (TES) represent a technology that has not yet been adequately exploited to date
