    摘要: A solar thermal power system includes a solar receiver for heating thermal energy storage fluid to be stored and utilized from a thermal energy storage arrangement having hot and cold storage tanks. The system includes a steam generator arrangement, which utilizes the heat of the thermal energy storage fluid to produce steam to run a turbine. The arrangement includes a bypass line configured to bypass the hot storage tank from the steam generator arrangement, and to supply the hot thermal energy storage fluid from the solar receiver directly to the steam generator arrangement, during day times, when the solar receiver the steam generator arrangement are both in operating mode, thereby recovering stored potential energy available in the down corner hot thermal energy storage fluid from the solar receiver.

    摘要: A solar thermal power system includes a solar receiver and a thermal energy storage arrangement including thermal energy storage fluid to be circulated through the solar receiver to store thermal energy. The system includes a multistage steam turbine operable on variable pressure steam generated by primary and secondary arrangements, by utilizing the fluid. The primary arrangement generates and supplies a high pressure steam to a high pressure turbine inlet, and exits from a high pressure turbine outlet. The secondary arrangement having a reheat assembly, to generate an intermediate pressure steam from the fluid, received from the storage arrangement through the reheat assembly. The intermediate pressure steam and released steam from a high pressure turbine outlet are mixed and reheated in the reheat assembly to be supplied to an intermediate pressure turbine inlet.

    摘要: The invention is to reduce the risk of damage to heat transfer pipes of a high-temperature heat collection device. A solar heat collection system is provided with a low-temperature heat collection device (1) which heats supplied water by use of sunlight heat to thereby generate steam; a steam-water separation device (4) which separates a water-steam two-phase fluid generated by the low-temperature heat collection device into water and steam; a high-temperature heat collection device (5) which heats the steam separated by the steam-water separation device by use of heat of sunlight which is reflected by a plurality of heliostats (8) to thereby generate superheated steam; and a heliostat control device (13) which controls angles of the plurality of heliostats so that metal temperature of the high-temperature heat collection device cannot be higher than a threshold temperature which is set in order to prevent overshoot of steam temperature at an outlet of the high-temperature heat collection device.

    摘要: A plant (10, 110) for the production of electric energy comprises a fuel boiler (11) in which a fluid is heated in order to produce steam, a turbine (15) which is connected to an electric generator (16) and to which said steam is conveyed, and a condenser unit (19) which re-condenses the fluid output from the turbine so that it may be conveyed back to the steam generator. The return fluid along the path from the condenser unit (19) to the boiler passes through a preheating unit (22) which receives heat from the turbine steam bleed-offs (23) and from a thermodynamic solar field (25). By making suitable use of the heat produced by the solar field (25) and contained in the heat-carrier fluid which passes through it, it is possible to increase the overall efficiency of the plant (10, 110). Furthermore, advantageously, the heat-carrier fluid which passes through the thermodynamic solar field receives heat from the fuel boiler via a suitable exchanger (32) which allows an increase in the productivity of the solar field itself and, moreover, uses the residual heat of the main plant which otherwise would be lost.

    摘要: A solar tower system including an array of individually controlled carousel-type heliostats, where each heliostat includes a rotatable D-shaped carousel, a mirror array including horizontal, elongated flat mirrors supported in a tiltable (e.g., louvered) arrangement on the carousel, and a mirror positioning system that is disposed next to the carousel and controls the tilt position of each mirror and a rotational position of the carousel to reflect light onto a solar receiver. The heliostats are arranged in a closely-spaced (e.g., square or hexagonal) pattern that both maximizes the effective ground coverage ratio of solar power harvesting system and facilitates the formation of service pathways that allow access to any of the heliostats in the array (e.g., by aligning the straight peripheral wall portions of adjacent carousels in parallel with each other).
