The Towards Competitive, Reliable, Safe and Sustainable Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Plants (TOPCSP) project will offer a unique international and interdisciplinary research and innovation framework to 10 promising doctoral candidates and will boost their excellence in the development of innovative technologies so that they will be capable of solving the challenges that currently face the solar thermal power industry. The overall research objective of the project is to improve the design of the different systems of a CSP plant to increase its cost-competitiveness, reliability, environmental profile, and operational safety.
The topic of the PhD position hosted at University of Brescia is Supercritical CO2 cycles for the next generation of CSP plants (main supervisor: Prof. Paolo Iora).
The aim of this research is the development of a sCO2 power cycle model that works with modified working fluids (CO2 with additives in a limited quantity) with a higher efficiency and a lower cost compared with state-of-the-art solar tower technology.
