... are estimated by accounting for the constraints imposed by the available heat transfer areas in heat exchangers, as well as by the characteristic curve of the steam turbine. The numerical model can be used either for single calculation in a specific off-design condition or for complete year simulation...

... . Particles are heated from the 300 to 800 °C both in design and part-load operation. Three of these plants could deliver thermal energy to drive a supercritical steam turbine with about 150 MW electrical output 24 h a day in summer. The benchmark conditions are the performance on the day with maximum...
