Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy devices, in particular to a solar thermal absorption tower. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of society, energy consumption has increased rapidly. Production, life and building function maintenance, as the three major areas of energy consumption, are the main responsibilities for carbon emissions. The existing centralized heating and power supply for production, life and construction are mostly achieved by burning coal. During the combustion of coal in boilers, a large amount of toxic and harmful pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfide, nitrogen oxides, etc. are produced, which is poor in energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, solar energy is being promoted and applied on a large scale. As a clean energy, solar energy has the advantages of wide distribution, low cost and mature technology. However, solar power generation is intermittent and volatile, and cannot meet the energy consumption needs of production, life and construction at night and in extreme weather. At the same time, the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic cells is affected by the temperature of the cell. If the temperature rises by 1°C, the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic cells will decrease by 0.3%-0.5%. In addition, solar power generation mainly uses the laying of photovoltaic panels to generate electricity. Since the laying area of photovoltaic panels is large, it cannot be applied to areas with scarce land resources.
[0004] Therefore, how to design a solar thermal absorption tower with a small footprint and high solar energy conversion efficiency is an urgent problem that technicians in this field need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0011] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above method is: using multiple first photovoltaic panels to splice and fix them on the outer wall of the central tube can improve the convenience of splicing the first photovoltaic panels and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the first photovoltaic panels.
[0012] Furthermore, the thermoelectric conversion mechanism includes a cold oil storage tank, a hot oil storage tank, a first circulating pump, a water tank and a steam turbine generator. The outlets and inlets of the cold oil storage tank, the center tube and the hot oil storage tank are connected in series in sequence.
