What are the components of solar tower thermal power generation system?
Solar tower thermal power generation system is composed of three parts, which are the concentrating heat system, the thermal storage system and the power block. Concentrating heat system is made up of concentrating subsystem and absorber subsystem.
What is solar tower thermal power generation technology?
Solar tower thermal power generation technology, which is also referred to as central receiver technology, uses a large number of heliostats having a dual axis control system (one about the elevation axis and the other about the azimuthal axis). These heliostats reflect direct beam solar radiation to a receiver located at the top of a tower.
How does a solar thermal power generation system work?
• Solar thermal power generation systems use mirrors to collect sunlight and produce steam by solar heat to drive turbines for generating power. • For steam as a working fluid, the working and plant description is displayed in figure.
What are the different types of solar thermal power generation?
In accordance with the solar concentrator, solar thermal power generation can be divided into parabolic trough thermal power generation, parabolic dish thermal power generation, central tower thermal power generation and linear Fresnel thermal power generation.
How do power tower concentrating solar power systems work?
In power tower concentrating solar power systems, a large number of flat, sun-tracking mirrors, known as heliostats, focus sunlight onto a receiver at the top of a tall tower. A heat-transfer fluid heated in the receiver is used to heat a working fluid, which, in turn, is used in a conventional turbine generator to produce electricity.
