Abstract: An electric power take-off system for mounting to a truck body to complement an existing power-take-off system powered by an internal combustion engine. The system includes a motor, battery, fluid reservoir, pump and a digital sensing unit for sensing at least one of fluid pressure or a fluid flow rate within the fluid delivery conduit. The digital sensing unit also includes an output capability. The system also includes a motor controller in operable communication with the digital sensing unit as well as the motor for instantaneously controlling the rotational speed of the motor. The motor controller in turn limits operation of the motor only to occasions of truck function operation initiated by the system operator.

Abstract: A thermal energy storage (TES) for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants consists of a two-tank molten salt storage. There is a provided need for a thermal energy receiving and storage system for CSP plants. To demonstrate how thermocline TES can be used in the CSPonD concept, a water tank is used for receiving a heat transfer fluid, which includes an absorbing mesh that is mountable within the tank for establishing and maintaining natural stratification resulting in a thermocline zone within the tank, and additionally comprises a plug flow injection system for establishing plug flow within the tank. A method of establishing and maintaining natural stratification, involves pumping cold heat transfer fluid, injecting the cold heat transfer fluid, and controlling the pumping and the injecting, all within the tank.
