 STDF Project ‘Egyptian Prototype CSP System’

-Was part of project to design first Egyptian Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) system.

-Performed 3D CFD simulations for the CSP under different wind loads to study the static and dynamic effects of different wind speeds on the design.

-Operated the control system used for the CSP  solar tracking system.

-Acquired experimental data to be used in CSP performance analysis

-Programs Used:  ANSYS ®, FLUENT ®, ABB Freelance AC 700F ®
