The AESCo project aims to harness solar energy using established technologies like PTC and LFR while pioneering new solutions. It focuses on meeting Mexico's industrial heat needs (SHIP) with a thorough evaluation to ensure viability.
Direct steam generation for CSP with linear concentrators
This research explores the technical feasibility of employing linear concentrators for direct steam generation in concentrated solar power plants in México. It forms part of PhD research involving the development of a thermo-hydraulic model.
Finite-time thermodynamic modeling and constructal law
Develop thermodynamic models (minimum entropy generation and constructal law) for different applications (solar cookers, multigeneration, and system integration) for their design and implementation.
Design, improvement and evolution of anidolic optics systems for different applications (mainly CPCs using optimal truncation criteria).
Analyze the feasibility of using solid biofuels in medium and high power in the industrial sector in México. The project is on the framework of Solid biofuels cluster for medium and high-power heat and electricity generation.
Solar sterilization with non imaging optics (2015-2016)
Design a water-free solar sterilizer applying the concepts of non imaging optics, using air as a working fluid, as an alternative to commercial Poupinelli sterilizers. (Concluded)
Degradation of waste polymers using concentrated solar energy (2013-2014)
First approach to the design, and preliminary tests of a solar collector for degradation of polymers.
