DAO-Tk: Design, Analysis, and Operations Toolkit

Apr 25, 2019, 18:00 PM

DAO-Tk allows users to explore design optimization, operations decision, and performance characterization of concentrating solar power tower plants. Users interface with the tool through a scripting language, and results are reported in time series tables, plots, runtime logs, and design outputs. Users choose from a list of variables such as tower height, solar multiple, design-point irradiance, and thermal storage size and specify information about the system using a list of parameters. The software can then optimize the specified variables to reduce the cost of energy produced by the system while meeting certain production requirements, accounting for uncertain weather and electricity price forecasts and correcting for equipment failures or repair time.
