327:, meaning that particles with high emissivity can still be considered as a good candidate if they have high absorptivity, but particles having low absorptivity cannot be considered as a good candidate even if they have low emissivity. Sintered bauxite particles have high solar absorptivity, and it has been shown that despite certain degradation due to prolonged heating, they are able to keep it above 90%. It has also been shown that they are the most durable ones among the other candidate particles. Therefore it has been concluded that they are the best candidate for the use in directly heated particle receivers, and in particular intermediate-density casting media "Accucast" has been deployed at Sandia's National Solar Thermal Test Facility. 109: 17: 198: 153:(DOE) in August 2016 which identified three possible pathways for the next generation CSP power plants based on the following heat transfer carriers: molten salts, solid particles, and gaseous fluids. This further led to the Generation 3 Concentrating Solar Power Systems funding program that started on May 15 of 2018 when DOE announced its intention to provide $ 72 million to the project where three teams are going to compete in building a system integrated with a 303: 293:
This concept is similar to the one of the directly heated fluidized receiver, only difference is that now tubes are not transparent and particles are heated indirectly by the metal tubes. Flamant proposed and demonstrated this concept and obtained suspension temperatures up to 750 °C, however he

Advantages of this concept include absence of particle loss due to the presence of the enclosure, however issues related

This receiver concept is composed of an enclosure with horizontal tubes with their external side inside of the enclosure and having their internal side irradiated with concentrated solar energy. The idea is that particles are going to flow down inside the enclosure due to the gravitational force and

cavity that can be inclined with respect to the horizontal direction. Due to rotation of the cavity, particles form thin but opaque layer over the cavity inner surface. These particles are then heated by concentrated solar radiation while they descend slowly along the axial direction of the cavity
189:. Tests showed that it is possible to reach particle temperature of 650 °C and thermal efficiency of around 60%. However, this design requires beam down optics that would result in additional optical losses and significant particle flow could be difficult to obtain using the proposed design. 71:
One of the main advantages of adopting particles as a heat transfer medium is the possibility of direct heating, where particles are exposed directly to the incoming solar radiation, thus avoiding issues related to non-uniform heating of receiver tubes. Also, the possibility to reach temperatures

that is able to efficiently capture solar energy and provide it to the working fluid of the power cycle at temperatures above 700 °C. On March 25, 2021 DOE announced that the pathway adopting falling solid particles is the most promising one for achieving 2030 cost targets of 0.05$ /kWh and

and the results showed that it is possible to reach outlet particle temperatures of over 900 °C. However, due to problems in measuring particle mass flow rate it was not possible to determine receiver thermal efficiency. Further experimental campaigns obtained thermal efficiency of 75% for
59:. To accomplish this, it is necessary to introduce certain material, called heat transfer medium, to the receiver that is then heated up, either directly or indirectly, by the concentrated solar energy before leaving the receiver at a higher temperature. Unlike receivers used in conventional 315:. Natural materials are considered due to their low price, however attention should also be paid to the composite materials that can be synthesized to enhance desired properties even though they have a higher price. As in directly heated receivers solid particles serve as the solar 67:

Idea of obstructing the flow of particles while retaining the concept of direct heating is motivated by the fact that by slowing down the flow of particles, it is possible to increase thermal efficiency of the receiver by increasing the
