High temperature solar receiver integrated with short-term thermal storage for Dish-Micro gas
turbine (MGT) systems
Concentrated Solar-thermal energy, High temperature solar receiver, Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD), Phase change materials (PCMs), Heat transfer analysis
Ph.D research focused on the design and development of high temperature solar receiver for the
application in Dish-Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) system. The novel solar receiver has been integrated
with the phase change material for the short-term thermal storage. The receiver can store high latent
energy and able to minimize the effect of natural fluctuations of the solar radiations. The research
work includes the selection of high temperature PCM, Development of thermal model for the
preliminary receiver design, CFD parametric study for optimum design point, Charging/discharging
analysis and development a prototype for the laboratory scale testing.
4-month Ph.D. visiting research (March –July 2018) work has been performed in the Birmingham Centre of Energy Storage, University of Birmingham UK, under the supervision of Prof. Yulong
Ding. The focus of the research was the selection of high temperature PCM by the detailed thermal
analysis of the selected PCMs.
A Basic Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) course has been attended at Von Karman Institute for
Fluid Dynamics, Brussels, Belgium. 23 – 27 January 2017

An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the performance of commercially available
PV modules in the climate of Taxila, Pakistan. The output parameters of each module have been
measured and the effect of environmental factors (module temp., ambient temp., solar irradiance, air
velocity humidity and dust) on these parameters was investigated. The results of this specific site
were compared with the other environmental conditions.
