Resumo(s)
ABSTRACT: Lifetime prediction methods for the components of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have been in the focus of interest of manufacturers and plant developers for the past years. Recently, an accelerated aging standard for solar mirrors was published by the Spanish AENOR committee [1]. This standard allows
performing comparative testing but it is not suited to derive meaningful life-time estimations. Firstly, the testing defined in the standard is not aggressive enough to produce significant degradation on most of the materials and secondly, it has been shown that the passing of these tests does not guarantee a high durability during outdoor exposure [2]. These findings have proven the need for the investigation of more realistic procedures. To provoke the mechanisms that are detected during outdoor exposure, a more realistic application of environmental stresses is being investigated. In this work a series of tests is conducted in which several weathering stresses are combined and applied in a cyclic manner. Some of these cycles have shown to correlate better with real outdoor behavior.
