Key Generic Technologies on National Standard of "Standard for Design of Solar Power Tower Plant"

Abstract

[Introduction] Solar power tower generation is the mainstream of the first solar thermal power generation demonstration projects in China. In order to promote the progress of science and technology, promote the development of industry, it is necessary to standardize the design of solar power tower plant. [Method] On the basis of summarizing and analyzing the design experience of solar power tower plant, the common principles and key technologies of power plant design were studied, common principles such as scope of application, scale division and design life were given, and the key technical schemes such as solar resource assessment, collector system and equipment, thermal storage system and equipment, automation system, etc. were mainly studied. [Result] The main design scheme of the solar power tower plant is determined, the method of power generation estimation is given, and the "standard for design of solar power tower plant", the first solar thermal power generation design standard in the world, is formulated. The standard provides technical support for the development, construction and operation of domestic solar power tower generation projects, and its main content has risen to the international standard IEC62862-4-1 "General requirements for the design of solar power tower plant". [Conclusion] The standard can provide guidance for the design of solar power tower plant.
