Project Details
Description
This project seeks to adopt an approach known as digital image correlation to monitor the strain in modeled solar receiver structures. Monitoring 3D strain profiles during steady-state and transient operating conditions will increase understanding of thermo-mechanical strains in CSP components during real-world operational conditions. This will result in improved designs that consider the full thermomechanical loading and deeper understanding of operational profiles for CSP plants that could increase operational performance.
