(2009) performed a transient simulation on the pioneer 1MW solar thermal central receiver system in China and studied the system performance under different working conditions , Renewable Energy 34 (2009) .
Methodology
Using Schwarzbozl STEC code, through
Fortran programming, transient simulation is performed. Different parameters are included. Temperature dependant properties are considered. New collector is integrated.
collector are modelled based on Eq. (1) Q u=AC [FR()n It -FRULT] (1)
Qu = useful energy gain kJ/s It incident solar radiation kJ/s.m2 T= temperature difference K
A = area m2
Results
Simulation method is validated with
experimental results.

Conclusion
Two major methods to increase the capacity
SSTPP are:
1. Increasing the temperature of the outlet steam 2. Increasing the mass flow rate of the outlet steam
is investigated.
