摘要:
A method of generating steam for use in an industrial process is disclosed. The industrial process may for example be power generation or desalination. The method comprises: (a) pressurising a working fluid liquid comprising water to a first pressure; (b) heating the working fluid liquid to a temperature substantially equal to the saturation temperature of the working fluid liquid at the first pressure; and (c) flash evaporating the working fluid liquid to generate steam. The pressurised working fluid liquid is heated in step (b) by direct heating in a solar radiation absorption device. Also disclosed is an apparatus for generating steam for use in an industrial process. The apparatus comprises a pump (32) for pressurising a working fluid liquid comprising water to a first pressure; a heating unit (34) downstream of the pump (32) for heating the working fluid liquid to a temperature substantially equal to the saturation temperature of the working fluid liquid at the first pressure; and a cooperating throttle valve (36) and flash tank (38) downstream of the heating unit (34) for flash evaporating the working fluid liquid to generate steam. The heating unit (34l ) comprises a solar radiation absorption device for direct heating of the pressurised working fluid.

A method for increasing the operational flexibility of a turbomachine during a shutdown phase is provided. The turbomachine may include a first section, a second section, and a rotor disposed within the first section and the second section. The method may determine an allowable range of a physical parameter associated with the first section and/or the second section. The method may modulate a first valve and/or a second valve to allow steam flow into the first section and the second section respectively, wherein the modulation is based on the allowable range of the physical parameter. In addition, the physical parameter allows the method to independently apportion steam flow between the first section and the second section of the turbomachine, during the shutdown phase.

A steam turbine power plant 10 includes a steam turbine facility 20 in which power is generated by driving steam turbines with steam from a boiler 21 generating steam using combustion heat and steam from a heat collecting steam generator 31 generating steam using sunlight, and a carbon dioxide collecting facility 60 in which carbon dioxide contained in combustion gas from the boiler 21 and the like is collected. Further, steam from the heat collecting steam generator 31 is delivered to a solar heat steam turbine 32 and performs expansion work, and thereafter part of the steam is delivered to the carbon dioxide collecting facility 60 via a pipe 51 and heats the absorbing liquid 100 in the recovery tower 80.
摘要:
A process and an apparatus (100) for producing a superheated working fluid from a concentrating solar plant. More specifically, the process and apparatus produce superheated steam. The apparatus is designed such that it can use more than one heat transfer medium to produce the superheated working fluid. A first heat exchanger system (101) is designed to use the heat of a first heat transfer medium in order to preheat, evaporate and superheat a working fluid in a power generating working cycle (103). A second heat exchanger system (102) is designed to use the heat of a second heat transfer medium to superheat the working fluid in cycle (103).
