Resumen de: WO2025250053A1

A thermal energy storage (TES) bin assembly for a high temperature, particle-based solar power plant, the TES bin assembly including a TES bin for storing hot particles therein and a feeder assembly configured to insert the hot particles inside of the TES bin. The TES bin has a base, a lid separated from the base, and a hollow body extending between the base and the lid. The hollow body is made of a plurality of cylindrically shaped structures. The innermost cylindrically shaped structure defines an interior of the TES bin together with the lid and the base. The innermost cylindrically shaped structure is made with abrasion resistant bricks. A second cylindrically shaped structure is made of an insulating material and surrounds the second structure. A third cylindrically shaped structure surrounds the second structure and includes expansion joints. The base has a funnel shape and the lid has a removable component.

A method for installing a solar tracker A-frame foundation includes: placing a first pile at a first location along a ground surface; placing a second pile at a second location along the ground surface, the second location spaced apart from the first location; simultaneously ramming the first pile into the ground surface at the first location and ramming the second pile into the ground surface at the second location; and after simultaneously ramming the first and second piles into the ground surface, coupling a first leg of a solar tracker A-frame support to the first pile and coupling a second leg of the solar tracker A-frame support to the second pile.

THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE

Resumen de: AU2024271974A1

A thermal energy storage and exchange device (100) comprising: - an external casing made of metal carpentry (1), - a fluidizable bed of particles (4), - metal separation means (3), peripheral to the bed of particles, and distant from 5 the walls of the external casing so as to create a hollow volume (20), - an amount of stationary particles (2) filling-in said hollow volume, - means (5) for heating the fluidized bed, in configuration so that the metal separation means allows the tightness of the fluidization air and the section of stationary particles, nor fluidized nor aerated, acts as thermal insulation.

Carbon dioxide engine by utilising ambient heat and high-pressure sink

Resumen de: GB2641224A

A Carbon dioxide (CO2) engine used to generate energy comprising: a piston 7 in a piston chamber 22 driven via the expansion of carbon dioxide 21 when it changes phase from a liquid to a gas using ambient air as a heat source; and conduits 25 for transferring the gaseous carbon dioxide to a heat exchanger 16 to transform the carbon dioxide back into a gas via condensation. The heat exchanger can be used for energy generation by using the vacuum created by the change in fluid from a gas to a liquid. The absorbed heat from the sink can be amplified by using a refrigerator 12 and fed to the heat source.

BALLASTED STRUCTURE FOR SOLAR PANELS

Resumen de: WO2024153706A1

The invention relates to a system and facility for collecting solar energy, this system and facility being versatile which means that it can be installed, in particular, on flat roofs without mounts or adhesives, or heavy lifting equipment. According to the invention, each system comprises two rigid-frame solar panels and two cylindrical support members each having: - an elongate hollow body (210) intended to receive a ballast; and - two end caps (220) of the hollow body, each comprising a vertical rigid wall capable of supporting the weight of the solar panels and a portion for the attachment of the solar panels, such that the solar panels are supported on the ground (S) by the end caps.

CLAMP ASSEMBLY USING PINS

Resumen de: US2025354649A1

A clamp assembly includes a mounting body with a slot configured to receive a standing seam used in metal wall panel, cladding, and roof systems and a pin-based fastening system. The fastening system includes push pins that translate through pin openings to engage the standing seam when force is applied by a fastening element through a washer. The translational movement of the pins creates secure clamping force while distributing loads across the seam profile. The clamp assembly may accommodate various standing seam configurations and may resist loosening due to thermal cycling and vibration.

GROUND SCREW ADAPTOR FOR SOLAR PANEL SUPPORT STRUCTURE

Resumen de: AU2024255300A1

A mounting system selectively engageable to a panel projection extending from a metal panel defining a surface of a building. The mounting system comprises a mounting device with a body with a wall. First and second legs extend from the wall and are flexible with respect to the wall. The first leg comprises a first aperture that is unthreaded and which has a first interior diameter. The second leg comprises a second aperture which has a second interior diameter that is less than the first interior diameter. The second aperture may optionally be threaded. The mounting system further comprises a clamping fastener with a shaft that may extend into the first aperture and out of the second aperture. The clamping fastener may be tightened to draw the first and second legs together to engage the panel projection and removably secure the mounting device to the panel projection.
