Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à des systèmes, à des procédés et à un appareil grâce auxquels l'énergie solaire peut être collectée en tant que chaleur. Certains systèmes comprennent un récepteur solaire surélevé comprenant de multiples tubes agencés dans le sens de la longueur dans le récepteur selon une configuration parallèle côte à côte sur une dimension transversale du récepteur. Le récepteur comprend une section entrée conçue pour recevoir un fluide de transfert de chaleur dans l'agencement de tubes et une section sortie conçue pour sortir le fluide de transfert de chaleur chauffé provenant de l'agencement de tubes. Les multiples tubes de l'agencement de tubes délimitent ensemble un circuit d'écoulement entre la section entrée et la section sortie depuis le ou les tubes extérieurs vers le ou les tubes intérieurs. Le système de collecte d'énergie solaire comprend en outre un système d'instrumentation et de commande destiné à commander l'orientation d'au moins un réflecteur orientable pour fournir, en fonctionnement, une zone éclairée concentrée comprenant un profil pointu sur la dimension transversale du récepteur.The present invention relates to systems, methods and apparatus by which solar energy can be collected as heat. Some systems include a raised solar receiver comprising multiple tubes arranged lengthwise in the receiver in a parallel configuration side by side on a transverse dimension of the receiver. The receiver includes an inlet section adapted to receive a heat transfer fluid in the tube arrangement and an outlet section adapted to output the heated heat transfer fluid from the tube arrangement. The multiple tubes of the tube arrangement together define a flow path between the inlet section and the outlet section from the outer tube (s) to the inner tube (s). The solar energy collection system further comprises an instrumentation and control system for controlling the orientation of at least one steerable reflector to provide, in operation, a focused illuminated area comprising a sharp profile on the transverse dimension of the receiver.
