Embodiment Construction

[0020] Solar thermal energy generation is generally the collection and concentration of solar energy to produce heat that is then used to generate work and / or electricity. There are several different system technologies and / or equipment layouts for harvesting the sun's energy for this purpose. However, conventional systems have proven to have certain disadvantages. These include, for example, high start-up and maintenance costs, inefficiencies in meeting the needs of certain distributed generation applications, unreliability, and / or Inefficiency.

[0021] One of the most common types of solar thermal power plants uses parabolic trough collectors. This type of equipment is figure 1 Shown in , a trough power device 100 . As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, trough power plant 100 uses curved or parabolic troughs 102 to reflect and concentrate solar radiation onto receiver tubes 104 (also called absorbers or collector tubes). The receiver tube 104 typically co...

Abstract

The present application thus describes a solar-thermal power generation plant that includes one or more towers; a plurality of heliostats disposed around each of the one or more towers; a direct solar evaporator mounted at an elevated position on each of the one or more towers, the heliostats being configured to reflect solar radiation toward the direct solar evaporator such that concentrated solar radiation heats a receiving surface on the direct solar evaporator; and a heat engine mounted at an elevated position on each of the one or more towers, attached to the direct solar evaporator, and configured to use the heat from the receiving surface on the direct solar evaporator to generate electricity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application generally relates to systems and devices related to solar-thermal energy generation. More specifically, but not limitedly, the present application relates to systems and devices related to distributed solar thermal power generation. Background technique [0002] Conventional solar-thermal power technology generally includes a collector that focuses energy from the sun so that the high temperatures required for efficient power generation are available. Typically, this type of power generation involves concentrating energy into a large collector field of heat transfer fluid, which is then pumped to a central facility where the heat it transports can be used. For example, heat sources can be used as part of a Rankine cycle to generate electricity. As discussed in more detail below, there are several different system technologies and / or device layouts for collecting and using the sun's energy. However, these conventional systems ...
