Abstract

This paper compiles some conclusions after modelling a solar CRS for a steam reforming of methane application. An amount of 24 different plants are optimized for different plant sizes, heliostat beam dispersion errors, number of receiver apertures and focusing or flat heliostats. All of them were conceived with 120 m2 stretched membrane heliostats and convective reformers for a receiver/reactor separated solution. For such a system, commercial competitiveness can be expected.
