As Engineering Trainee at DLR, I focused on optimizing the general operation of a hybrid concentrated solar tower power plant, which functions on sunlight and biofuels and releases electricity and heat processing - that can be utilized for industries in heating and/or cooling processes. The other accomplished goal was to determine the feasibility of implementing this technology in the Brazilian energy market, according to national environmental and economic factors.Activities completed included:- Thermodynamic analysis of the components of the hybrid concentrated solar tower power plant, including the study of previous similar projects, as SOLHYCO, USHYNE, etc;- Specific project design on different locations in Brazil according to factors such as weather, electric energy availability, type of demand and fuel price reality in individual areas;- Marketing analysis of the Brazilian energy business, heat and cooling demand, government regulations, as well as Brazilian environmental factors such as rates of irradiation, average temperature, etc.USP Agency of Innovation ("Agência USP de Inovação") sponsored this project.

The research was done as part of the class ENG 315: LINC - Learning in Community with the focus on the project, “Engineers without Borders - Stored Energy Solar Cooker”, at the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign. The main goal of the project was to develop and obtain all the information necessary to make a possible apparatus that could collect solar energy, which would be used to cook food for the target audience of poor communities in Mexico.The following activities were developed:- Scientific research and learning the basics of solar energy and suitable materials to store heat;- Scientific experiments at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, to determine the thermal properties of a variety of materials, aiming to evaluate their potential in the system;- Write weekly reports describing the activities performed and information developed, as well as writing the project proposal and the final report of the activities created by the whole team.
