摘要:
Solar concentrator plant using natural-draught tower technology, in which the tower is, in turn, used as cooling system. The tower houses saturated or superheated steam receivers in cavities with different orientations, with adaptive dynamic control of the heliostat field in order to direct said receivers towards different focusing points, for the production of electricity, process heat or solar fuels or for use in thermochemical processes.
摘要:
Method for the natural-draught cooling of a high-concentration thermoelectric solar plant that includes a central receiver or tower with a heliostat field, wherein the tower is used as a natural-draught cooling tower. The steam originating from the turbine will be made to circulate through a series of condensers located at the base of the tower, where said condensers condense the steam therein and discharge the condensation heat to the atmosphere. The fluid responsible for this heat exchange is the air at ambient temperature at the base of the tower. Once condensed, the steam is pumped back towards the receiver so that it can be re-used as a heat-transfer fluid. The cooling air travels up through the tower and exits through the highest part thereof. The plant can be used to reduce not only its own electricity consumption, but also water consumption.
摘要:
System and method for accumulating steam in tanks for solar use made up of two sets of Ruths tanks (1, 2), called base set and overheat set, identical to one another and each having a saturated steam inlet (3), steam injectors (10) installed inside the tank (1, 2), a steam outlet (4, 4′) with a valve (13) and drainage means (11). A heat exchanger (6) is installed between the two sets of tanks (1, 2). The method of storage consists of a tank loading stage and a tank discharging stage, the latter comprising two discharging phases, the first one from a maximum to an intermediate pressure and the second one from an intermediate to a low pressure.

摘要:
Solar concentration plant placed on tower technology wherein the tower is used not only to equate the receiver devices at great height but also as a natural-draft cooling system. The tower is hollow and has a hyperboloid. structure that may exceed 200 m in height, accommodating devices for receiving saturated or superheated steam in cavities with different orientations. There is a dynamic control for adapting the heliostat field so that the heliostats can be focussed on different focal points for producing electricity, producing process heat, producing solar fuels or for application to thermochemical processes.
