摘要

The use of gas cycles in solar thermal power plants has recently gained considerable attention, especially when used in conjunction with central receiver systems where peak temperatures can be very high, leading to high cycle efficiencies. One of the main advantages of using gas cycles for solar power plants is that they eliminate the need for continuous supply of water for cooling towers, making them particularly suitable for arid regions. Various gas cycle concepts have been proposed and tested, most of which involve using concentrated sunlight to directly heat compressed air or other gases. However, one of the main shortcomings of direct heating of air is that thermal energy storage becomes less viable. A number of solutions to this limitation have been proposed, but none has yet been fully demonstrated. A promising solution to the thermal energy storage problem is being developed. It involves the use of sand or other fine granular materials as the primary solar energy absorber and thermal energy storage medium. In this concept, sunlight is concentrated on a receiver in which sand is heated to temperatures that can approach 1000 C. A portion of this sand exchanges heat with air, which is then fed to a suitable gas cycle. The remainder of the sand is diverted to a well-insulated tank where it is stored for later use. One variation of this system is shown in the accompanying figures, which include a general view of the tower and heliostat field and a detail view of the central receiver concept. This work builds on the experience of other developers with sand as the proposed storage medium in, trough plants, as well as the work of other investigators such as the work on the solid particle receiver concept that was introduced and tested at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility in Sandia National Laboratories [1] and [2]. The proposed system is expected to overcome the issue of low solar energy absorption efficiency through the use of a novel cavity receiver design. Furthermore,-the system described in this work has a number of other novel features, including a patent-pending mechanism for transferring heat from the sand to air, and a compact and integrated storage system that minimizes land construction costs. This paper describes the conceptual features of the proposed system in some detail. It also summarizes the progress made so far in this project and outlines upcoming activities particularly in designing a 300 kW (thermal) test system whose construction is expected to commence in 2011.
