- Additional information
- This paper proposed, for the first time, micro-scale concentrating solar power for direct integration with industrial buildings. In simulation and an outdoor experiment, the paper demonstrated the technical and economic feasibility of such systems. This research is the result of a long-term collaboration with Nanjing Tech University, China (Moucun Yang, Yinfeng Wang) and the University of New South Wales, Australia (Robert Taylor). This collaboration led to the publication “Thermal Stability and Performance Testing of Oil-based CuO Nanofluids for Solar Thermal Applications”, Energies, 13(4), 2020.
