The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of Tulsa (TU) to develop a novel carbonized microvascular composite receiver system for use in concentrated solar power (CSP) applications. The composite material would be developed so as to optimize heat transfer to a supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) heat transfer fluid and would have the potential to serve as an alternative to traditional metallic receiver systems. TU would develop sample coupons of the composite material and test them in small-scale receiver modules.
