Abstract

The solar power installation includes an evaporation unit (30) sending water vapour which has been twice heated to a turbine (32). The turbine includes high pressure (34) and low pressure (36) parts. The turbine drives an alternator which provides the electric current. From the turbine the vapour passes to a container (40) which is connected to one or more re-heaters (42), also receiving the outlet from the low pressure part of the turbine. The evaporation unit includes an economiser (46) and evaporator (48) and two heaters (50, 52). There are two heat exchange circuits in contact with these two heaters raising the temp. of the steam in two stages. The heat transport fluid in these circuits is heated in a furnace on to which sunlight is reflected by an array of tracking mirrors.
