Are solar dynamic systems a viable alternative to PV?

Solar (thermal) Dynamic Systems (SDS) seems to be a viable and promising alternative to PVs, according to the literature ( [ 2, , , , , , , , ]). This kind of systems use solar heat to drive a thermal cycle (Brayton, Rankine, Stirling or Ericsson) through the concentration of solar radiation into a cavity receiver.

How does a solar energy conversion system work?

The heat needed for the conversion process is provided by the solar collector, which consist of a parabolic concentrator and a receiver. The concentrator allows the Energy Conversion System (ECS) to convert solar thermal energy into mechanical work (shaft power) achieving temperatures of about 1700 K [16 ].

What are space solar dynamic systems?

Space Solar Dynamic Systems promise to be a better alternative to PVs by eliminating the need for batteries, offering lower drag problems and high efficiencies taking advantage of the lower temperature of space.
