The design of control systems in large-scale CPV power plants will be more challenging in the future. Reasons are the increasing size of power plants, the requirements of grid operators, new functions, and new technological trends in industrial automation or communication technology. Concepts and products from fixed-mounted PV can only partly be adopted since control systems for sun-tracking installations are considerable more complex due to the higher quantity of controllable entities. The objective of this paper is to deliver design considerations for next generation control systems. Therefore, the work identifies new applications of future control systems categorized into operation, monitoring and maintenance domains. The key-requirements of the technical system and the application layer are identified. In the resulting section, new strategies such as a more decentralized architecture are proposed and design criteria are derived. The contribution of this paper should allow manufacturers and research institutes to consider the design criteria in current development and to place further research on new functions and control strategies precisely.
Gas adsorption studies of CO2 and N2 in spatially aligned double-walled carbon nanotube arrays
(2013)
Gas adsorption studies (CO2 and N2) over a wide pressure range on vertically, highly aligned dense double-walled carbon nanotube arrays of high purity and high specific surface area are reported. At high pressures, the adsorption capacity of these materials was found to be comparable to those of metal organic frameworks and mesoporous molecular sieves. These highly aligned CNT arrays were chemically modified by treating with oxygen plasma and structurally modified by decreasing the diameter of individual carbon nanotubes. Oxygen plasma treatment led to grafting of a large number of C–O functional groups onto the CNT surface, which further increased the gas adsorption capacity. It was found that gas adsorption is dependent on tube diameter and increases with decrease of the individual CNT diameter in the CNT bundles. As results of our studies we have found that at lower pressure regimes, plasma functionalized carbon nanotubes exhibit better adsorption characteristics whereas at higher pressures, lower diameter carbon nanotube structures exhibited better gas adsorption characteristics.
