    摘要: A working fluid heating system that utilizes solar energy and fuel-fired heaters to heat the working fluid is provided. The system may have a fuel heating plant that has a first fuel-fired heater to heat a first portion of working fluid, a solar heating plant that has both a solar thermal-energy heater and a second fuel-fired heater to heat a second portion of working fluid. The first and second portions may join in a pipeline to supply heated working fluid to a facility such as an electrical generation facility, desalination facility, petrochemical facility, enhanced oil recovery facility, or air conditioning facility.

    摘要: Methods and systems for generating steam using solar energy are provided here. The methods and systems can be used to generate steam of a desired quality, e.g. about 70%, or superheated steam. Some methods for producing steam of a desired quality comprise flowing water into an inlet of receiver in a linear Fresnel reflector system, wherein the receiver comprises multiple parallel tubes ti connected in parallel, and i=1,k, and irradiating each tube ti along its respective length Li with solar radiation so that solar radiation absorbed at each tube generates thermal input along its length and so that water begins to boil in at least one of the tubes at a point λi along its length. The methods comprise using one or more temperatures Ti in an economizer region of a tube ti or one or more changes in length of the tubes as input to a controller that controls mass flow of water into each of the multiple tubes, thereby controlling quality of steam exiting the receiver.

    摘要: In a cryogenic combined cycle power plant electric power drives a cryogenic refrigerator to store energy by cooling air to a liquid state for storage within tanks, followed by subsequent release of the stored energy by first pressurizing the liquid air, then regasifying the liquid air and raising the temperature of the regasified air at least in part with heat exhausted from a combustion turbine, and then expanding the heated regasified air through a hot gas expander to generate power. The expanded regasified air exhausted from the expander may be used to cool and make denser the inlet air to the combustion turbine. The combustion turbine exhaust gases may be used to drive an organic Rankine bottoming cycle. An alternative source of heat such as thermal storage, for example, may be used in place of or in addition to the combustion turbine.

    摘要: A combined cycle power plant comprises a combustion turbine generator, another heat source in addition to the combustion turbine generator, a steam power system, and an energy storage system. Heat from the heat source, from the energy storage system, or from the heat source and the energy storage system is used to generate steam in the steam power system. Heat from the combustion turbine generator exhaust gas may be used primarily for single phase heating of water or steam in the steam power system. Alternatively, heat from the combustion turbine generator exhaust gas may be used in parallel with the energy storage system and/or the other heat source to generate steam, and additionally to super heat steam. Both the combustion turbine generator and the steam power system may generate electricity.

    摘要: Apparatus, systems, and methods store energy by liquefying a gas such as air, for example, and then recover the energy by regasifying the liquid and combusting or otherwise reacting the gas with a fuel to drive a heat engine. The process of liquefying the gas may be powered with electric power from the grid, for example, and the heat engine may be used to generate electricity. Hence, in effect these apparatus, systems, and methods may provide for storing electric power from the grid and then subsequently delivering it back to the grid.

    摘要: A Directional Freeze Crystallization system employs an indirect contact heat exchanger to freeze a fraction of liquid to be purified. The unfrozen fraction is drained away and the purified frozen fraction is melted. The heat exchanger must be designed in accordance with a Growth Habit Index to achieve efficient separation of contaminants. If gases are dissolved in the liquid, the system must be pressurized.

    摘要: Apparatus, systems, and methods store energy by liquefying a gas such as air, for example, and then recover the energy by regasifying the cryogenic liquid and combusting or otherwise reacting the gas with a fuel to drive a heat engine. Carbon may be captured from the heat engine exhaust by using the cryogenic liquid to freeze carbon dioxide out of the exhaust. The process of liquefying the gas may be powered with electric power from the grid, for example, and the heat engine may be used to generate electricity. Hence, in effect these apparatus, systems, and methods may provide for storing electric power from the grid and then subsequently delivering it back to the grid.
