Solar power system with common receiver bridge and multiple mobile mesh collectors

Abstract

The present invention is concerned with concentrating radiation systems to increase the size and efficiency of solar radiation power plants, comprising large reflective surface fields in the form of a collector network, which concentrates radiation on a common receiver bridge, which enables the use of thermal, Photovoltaic or thermo-mechanical Stirling engine receiving components. The collector mesh is suspended from a very tall gantry structure and contains mirrors attached to the cable harness, forming a surface with a variable shape that can change shape and position by stretching and tilting its supporting structure, which Can be turned to track the position of the sun. Among other things, the present invention provides for mounting bridge-on-bridge receivers, which are longitudinally formed high above the solar radiation field. Each receiving tube provides another mobile module receiving facility such as a cable car or a fixed system to be attached longitudinally in series to the bridge. Depending on the installed receiving elements, the access of bridge structural support services, the installation of thermal fluid foundation lines and the electrical transmission network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a solar power generation system, ie solar radiation concentrating and receiving means, which allows substantially improving the efficiency and scale of heat and power generation. The system is aimed at adding industrial power generation sectors to the grid or supplying independent grid users. Background technique [0002] Electricity generation from solar radiation has been commercially developed in three forms. Direct one is via photovoltaic cells and the other two are via thermal and mechanical components. Thermo-mechanical conversion is done via a turbine or engine that feeds a generator. [0003] Photovoltaic technology uses inverters to convert the direct current delivered by solar cells into alternating current for the grid. Photovoltaic systems do not use the concentration of the solar radiation field, only lenses or other optics are used for multiple connected cells, which allow intensive radiation to be co...

Problems solved by technology

[0013] In general, we can point out that it has important advantages in terms of emissions, in the present case its efficiency is very low, which leads to a moderate cost of electricity generation, significantly higher than traditional technologies and the price of resources, such as hydroelectric plants or the use of petrochemicals Fuels such as coal, natural gas or photovoltaic solar options
