Abstract: In solar power tower plants, fast start-ups and/or load changes are mandatory to increase the power plant dispatchability. The high temperatures of the working fluids and the partial-load operation will reduce the lifetime of the thick-walled components at the steam generator. Therefore, a proper heat exchanger design should consider the stress evolution during the transient operation of the plant.
