Solar Receivers for Thermal Power Generation: Fundamentals and Advanced Concepts looks at different Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems, their varying components, and the modeling and optimization of solar receivers. The book combines the detailed theory of receivers, all physical concepts in the process of converting solar radiation into electricity in CSP systems, and the main components of CSP systems, including solar concentrators, thermal receivers and power blocks. Main properties and working principles are addressed, along with the principles of solar resources and energy output of CSP systems and solar radiation.
By covering different types and designs of solar receivers, heat transfer fluids, operating temperatures, and different techniques used in modeling and optimizing solar receivers, this book is targeted at academics engaged in sustainable energy engineering research and students specializing in power plant solarization.
- Features methods of modeling the thermal performance of different solar receivers
- Provides step-by-step linchpins to advanced theory and practice
- Includes global case studies surrounding progress in the development of solar receivers

About the Author
Dr. Amos Madhlopa is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering at the Malawi University of Science and Technology. He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering obtained from the University of Strathclyde, in the United Kingdom, and previously worked at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. With extensive research and teaching experience in sustainable energy engineering and solar technology, Dr. Madhlopa has published numerous journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters. He has also authored two books, one on solar gas turbines and the other on solar receivers, making him the first author to write a book on these topics. Dr. Madhlopa was awarded an ‘Innovations for Development in Southern & Eastern Africa’ in 2003 for developing a novel solar dryer with composite absorber systems, and a Newton Fellowship in 2009 to develop a dynamic model for solar stills with double slopes at the University of Strathclyde.
