Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention may take the form of a system and method that may use at least at least one solar heating system to heat the feedwater consumed by a boiler. An embodiment of the present invention may incorporate concentrated solar power (CSP). Generally, CSP systems incorporate a plurality of lenses, mirrors, or combinations thereof and a tracking system to focus a large area of sunlight forming a small concentrated beam of light. The concentrated light may then be used as a heat source. In an embodiment of the present invention, the heat source may be used to partially or completely heat the feedwater consumed by a boiler. CSP systems may take the form of a solar trough system, a parabolic dish system, a solar power tower system, or the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to feed water consumed by boilers during operation of steam turbines; and more particularly, to systems and methods for heating feed water in conjunction with solar heating systems. Background technique [0002] A power plant incorporating a steam turbine typically has an integrated condenser and boiler. The condenser receives the low-energy steam or steam-water mixture discharged from the steam turbine. After receiving the low energy steam, the condenser extracts heat from the steam, which condenses to form feed water. The boiler receives and heats the feedwater until it is converted to steam, which is sent to the steam turbine and the closed loop process repeats. Some boilers, such as (but not limited to) heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), use energy from the exhaust gas of a gas turbine to heat feed water. Other boilers heat feed water with steam extracted from a steam turbine. Both of these methods for heating ...
