Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tower solar power generation, and more particularly to a method for calculating the optical efficiency of a mirror field in a tower solar thermal power plant. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, among numerous solar energy utilization technologies, concentrated solar power (CSP) technology has seen significant development. Compared to the widely used photovoltaic (PV) power generation technology, CSP avoids the high pollution and high energy consumption problems associated with silicon cell production in PV. Combined with low-cost, large-scale heat storage technology, it can provide continuous, stable, and adjustable power output, making it more suitable for grid-connected power generation. Among CSP technologies, tower-type CSP is particularly favored due to its high heat collection efficiency.
[0003] In tower solar thermal power plants, the performance of the mirror field directly affects the solar energy absorption efficiency. Mirror field optical efficiency is a crucial performance indicator, encompassing cosine efficiency, shading efficiency, cutoff efficiency, atmospheric transmittance, and specular reflectivity. Among these, shading efficiency is the most challenging to calculate. Heliostats in the mirror field may be shaded or blocked by multiple neighboring heliostats, resulting in highly irregular shadow or shading patterns. Cheng Xiaolong, in his research "Research on Optimization Design of Mirror Field Layout in Tower Power Plants Based on Optical Efficiency," uses a geometric projection method to calculate the shading efficiency of heliostats. To reduce computational load, he assumes no overlapping shading portions during the calculation process; however, these assumptions significantly reduce the accuracy of the shading efficiency calculation. Hu Yeguang, in his research "Research on Multi-stage Reflective Concentrating Mirror Fields in Tower Solar Thermal Power Generation Systems," uses a numerical calculation method to calculate shading efficiency. This method projects neighboring heliostats along the direction of incident or reflected light onto the plane of the current heliostat to calculate the shading or blocking rate. This requires sequentially traversing each heliostat, resulting in high accuracy but a large computational burden. Summary of the Invention
