Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to solar-thermal generation of electricity.
  • the invention relates to a cylindrical collector system for large scale generation of electricity.
  • the use of the sun's radiation is the most appropriate source of energy for the large-scale generation of electricity. It is however only available during less than half of a typical day and technologies for the storage of energy will have to be developed.
  • the total amount of energy that reaches the earth from the sun is 10000 times more than the present daily energy demand of the world, but this power is diffuse (less than 1 kW/m 2 ) and very large areas of collection will be required.
  • PV photovoltaics
  • solar-thermal generation Two technologies are presently employed to generate electricity directly from sunlight: photovoltaics (PV) and solar-thermal generation.

  • solar-thermal generation Two technologies are presently employed to generate electricity directly from sunlight: photovoltaics (PV) and solar-thermal generation.
  • PV photovoltaics
  • solar-thermal generation of electricity on the other hand does not require high tech manufacturing processes and innovative concentrator technologies can increase the system efficiency and reduce the cost.
  • Solar-thermal generation of electricity employs the same energy conversion technology as that used in fossil fuel or nuclear power plants.
  • the radiation of the sun is however used as source of energy to heat steam or a gas to a high temperature to drive the turbines.
  • the total solar-to-electric conversion efficiency is in most cases not much larger than that of PV but the technology for the collection of the thermal energy is not high tech.
  • the system requires a collector to collect the radiation and a receiver that absorbs the energy in a heat transfer fluid.
  • concentration of the solar radiation To obtain a reasonable thermodynamic efficiency the temperature of the fluid must be high and this requires concentration of the solar radiation.
  • the solar flux reaches the earth in a cone within a solid angle of about 0.532° and the maximum theoretical concentration for two-dimensional concentration is about 46 000 and for linear concentration about 215.
  • To achieve a high concentration a large rim angle is required and the collector must be very large. In practice the concentration is lower than the theoretical limit due to geometric constraints and imperfections.
  • the collector of a Parabolic Dish system consists of a large parabolic dish containing parabolic reflectors that concentrate the sunlight on a receiver at the focal point of the dish. Due to the two-dimensional concentration, concentrations are typically between 600 and 2000 and temperatures in excess of 1500°C can be obtained. Relatively high thermodynamic conversion efficiencies are possible at these high temperatures. The conversion can be performed by mounting a Stirling engine at the focal point. The solar-to-electric conversion efficiency can be as high as 50% for these systems.
  • the size of the receiver dish can however not be increased beyond practical limits since the structure has to withstand adverse weather conditions.
  • the electrical outputs of these systems are usually around 10 kWe. The cost of these systems is very high.
  • Central Receiver systems employ a large number of heliostats that can be individually focused on a central receiver on top of a tower. Various types of arrangements of the heliostats around the tower are possible. Practical considerations limit the size of each heliostat to about 100 m 2 . These plants typically achieve concentrations ratios between 300 and 1500 with operating temperatures between 500 0 C and 1500°C. Another version of the central receiver concept is a system where a second large reflector is mounted at the top of the tower, redirecting the concentrated radiation from the heliostats downward to a ground level receiver. These Central Receiver systems can be designed to deliver electrical power outputs in the MVVe range, but the cost is still high.
  • Parabolic trough systems are the most mature technology and plants with a total capacity of about 350 MWe have been constructed in the USA.
  • the collectors consist of long parabolic trough reflectors and the receivers consist of tubes positioned on the line of focus of the parabolic collectors.
  • the troughs rotate around the receiver tubes to track the movement of the sun. It is a linear concentration and the concentrations and temperatures obtained are lower than those of the two-dimensional technologies.
  • the orientation of the troughs can either be North-South or East-West, each type having its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
  • the concentration ratios are typically from 10 to 100 and the temperatures achieved range from 100°C to 500°C.
  • the Parabolic Trough technology requires many kilometers of fairly large steel support structures for the reflectors. Practical considerations usually limit the width of the reflectors to a few meters since the structures have to be designed to withstand adverse weather conditions.
  • the Linear Fresnel Reflector Concentrator systems employ a series of narrow mirrors mounted at ground level directing the solar radiation from two sides on a receiver tube mounted high above ground level. The mirrors are rotated to keep the focus on the receiver tube.
  • the performance of these systems is similar to that of the Parabolic Trough systems but the utilization of the ground area is very good. Due to the low power density of the solar radiation, collectors will have to cover an area of many square kilometers for a large plant. The cost of such large plants can be reduced if the technology used in the design, manufacture and/or operation of the collectors can be simplified. It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a trough thermal collector that can be very large, with a relatively simple tracking mechanism.
  • the technology of the present invention can be scaled up to the GWe range and can deliver a significant contribution to the large-scale generation of electricity.

  • the apparatus may further include at least one corrector mirror disposed within the trough and support means configured to support the corrector mirror in a position where it can reflect radiation reflected from the cylindrical reflective surface of the trough, to the receiver.
  • the receiver may extend generally along the cylinder axis of the trough and the support means may be configured to rotate the corrector mirror relative to the cylinder axis.

  • a solar energy collector in accordance with the present invention is indicated generally by reference numeral 10.
  • the collection of solar radiation 12 in the collector 10 is done in a series of elongate parallel half-cylindrical troughs 14 below ground level. These troughs 14 are accurately aligned with a North-South orientation, although an East-West orientation could be used.
  • Figure 1 is an end view looking in a northerly direction. Reflective surfaces within the troughs 14 concentrate the incident solar radiation 12 on a fixed receiver tube 16 situated at the center of curvature of the trough 14.
  • the collector has a tracking mechanism (not shown in Figure 1) that tracks movement of the radiation 12 to ensure that it is reflected towards the receiver tube 16 and this tracking mechanism has a cylindrical symmetry around the point of focus at the cylinder axis, i.e. at the receiver tube.
  • the lengths of the troughs 14 are determined by engineering constraints of the internal support structures and pipe work. Provision is made along the lengths for the effects of the latitude of the site and seasonal variation of the sun's angle. Since these considerations are the same as those of present parabolic trough systems no further attention will be given to aspects concerning the lengths of the troughs 14.
  • the troughs 14 preferably have some slope along their lengths to allow for water drainage in the case of rain. Since the optics must remain stable the troughs 14 are preferably constructed at sites where the ground is geologically quite stable.
  • the thermal energy of the radiation 12 is collected in the receiver tubes 16 and the same technology applies here concerning selective absorbers and thermal insulation as in present parabolic trough systems.
  • the technologies of the thermal energy transport, energy storage and conversion to electricity through some thermodynamic cycle are also similar and these aspects will not be considered further.
  • an optical collector 10.1 in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention includes a large parabolic mirror 18 with focal length about 9.33 m. Since the collector mirror 18 must move in the cylindrical trough 14 to track the sun's movement, the width of the mirror will have to be smaller than the diameter of the trough.
  • the collector 10.1 is shown from a northerly direction, similar to Figure 1 and examples of positions of the mirror 18 in the morning, at noon and in the afternoon are illustrated, respectively, to illustrate the movement of the mirror during the course of a day.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment of the invention is that area exposed to radiation 12 that is utilized by the collector 10.1 is limited to a maximum of 50% of the ground area occupied by the collector. This disadvantage is however compensated for by the advantages of the simple technology involved.
  • An inherent limitation of the system is that the sun can only be tracked through an angle of 120°. This is not very serious since the intensity of the sun's radiation 12 drops significantly for large azimuth angles.
  • the collector 10.1 shown in Figure 2 works fine, it employs a very large mirror 18.
  • the mirror 18 can obviously be constructed in several smaller sections but a large support structure will still be required to move the mirror with the degree of accuracy required to obtain a sharp focus on the receiver tube 16.
  • the effect of wind turbulence in the troughs 14 will also be severe on a mirror 18 with such a large area.
  • a collector 10.2 in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention is shown as viewed in a northerly direction, in which the incident radiation 12 is concentrated on the receiver tube 16 in a different way.
  • the inner surface of the cylindrical trough 14 is reflective and itself acts as the primary collecting mirror 20 while the tracking of the sun is achieved by the rotation of a smaller assembly or "box" 22 containing corrector mirrors.
  • the corrector mirrors focus the rays reflected by the cylindrical mirror 20, at the center of curvature R 0 of the trough 14, i.e. at the receiver tube 16.
  • the large primary collecting mirror 20 thus remains stationary, while only the much smaller corrector box 22 is moved.
  • the wall 24 of the trough 14 is made of concrete that is accurately profiled or steel sections with the required diameter and profile.
  • the primary mirror 20 on the inner surface of the wall 24 comprises reflectors that consist of thin polymer sheets with reflecting surfaces attached to the wall 24.
  • the reflectivity of the primary mirror 20 must be high to minimize losses due to the multiple reflections in the corrector box 22.
  • the main advantage of this collector 10.2 is that the primary mirror 20 is permanently fixed and does not require above-ground or moving support structures and can thus be very large.
  • a parabolic mirror has a single focal point for all incident rays parallel to the principle axis (paraxial rays). For this reason parabolic mirrors are employed in concentrator systems.
  • a spherical or cylindrical profile such as that of the primary mirror 20
  • a focal curve is defined (shown as F in Figure 4).
  • the corrector box 22 shown in Figure 3 contains corrector mirrors 28 that perform two optical corrections: (a) The primary focal point is shifted from 1 AR to R (i.e. is shifted from F to the centre of curvature designated R 0 , which is also where the receiver tube 16 is situated) and (b) the effects of spherical aberration are corrected so that all rays converge at a single focal point at R 0 -
  • a further advantage of the collector 10.2 is that the corrector box 22 is a relatively small structure that contains corrector mirrors 28 of small widths, that has to be rotated instead of rotating a large mirror.
  • This movement of the corrector box 22 can be on rails mounted on the walls 24, it can swing around a support at the center of curvature, or the like.
  • Another rotating, small corrector mirror 30 above the receiver tube 16 is preferably employed in some cases.
  • the large primary mirror 20 can be mounted above ground if it will be less expensive to construct or will have other advantages. The advantages of having a fixed large primary mirror 20 will still apply.
  • the collector system 10.2 can also be used for concentrator PV systems where the PV cells are mounted in a triangular shape around the receiver tube 16. Combined electrical and heat generation can be achieved in this case.
  • the collector system 10.2 can also be employed for steam generation or water heating.
  • the corrector system 26 (of corrector mirrors 28) must yield a good focus on the receiver tube 16 at R 0 ; (b) the profiles of the corrector mirrors 28 must preferably be either flat or cylindrical, to keep its cost low; (c) the size of the corrector box 22 must be as small as possible; and (d) the maximum amount of the incident beam of 10 m wide must be utilized.
  • the corrector mirrors 28 will redirect the reflected rays so that they have to pass through a center gap 32 to the receiver tube 16. This inevitably leads to a loss since the incident radiation in this gap 32 cannot be utilized. This is not quite so serious since it allows the use of the additional small corrector mirror 30 in the path of rays directed to this gap 32, to improve the concentration. There are always losses due to some absorption of the reflective surfaces and the multiple reflections involved in the corrector system 26 make the system inherently less efficient than the case where only one reflection is involved, as in the collector 10.1 shown in Figure 2.
  • Figure 4 shows a corrector system 26 where all the corrector mirrors 28 have cylindrical profiles.
  • the coordinates of the endpoints of the corrector mirrors as shown in Figure 4 are provided in the Table of Figure 5.
  • the individual corrector mirrors 28 in the corrector box 22 are designated in Figure 4 as 28.1 , 28.2 and 28.3, while the corrector mirror above the receiver tube 16 is designated as 30.

  • the dimensions of the rectangular corrector box 22 are 4 x 0.7 m.
  • the corrector mirrors 28, 30 can be supported with steel frames or beams (indicated by the crossed circles 36) that run along the length of the corrector box 22 and above the corrector mirror 30.
  • the total width of all the corrector mirrors 28 in the corrector box 22 is 7.54 m and the width of the center gap 32 is 1.0 m.
  • the coordinates of the corrector mirrors 28, 30 are given in the table of Figure 6, where R is the radius of curvature and [XO:YO] are the coordinates of the centers of curvature for each correcting mirror in the axis system of Figure 4.
  • Figure 4 shows the reflections for paraxial incident rays 12.
  • the reflections of mirrors 20, 28.1 and 28.2 yield a focus of width about 35 mm at the center of curvature R 0 for this embodiment.
  • the effect of tha conical character of the rays 12 from the sun causes slight shifts of all rays at corrector mirrors 28.1 and 28.2 and the focused rays are spread out over a width of about 80 mm at R 0 .
  • These rays can be focused on the receiver tube 16 by corrector mirror 30 mounted above it.
  • Figure 7 shows these reflections in greater detail. It is assumed that the receiver tube 16 has a diameter of 80 mm.
  • Beam A represents the outer rays of the reflected beam for the rays of the sun incident at 89.734°.
  • B and C similarly represent the beams of rays incident at 90° and 90.266° respectively.
  • the optical paths of all other rays are between the extremes depicted in Fig. 7.
  • Corrector mirror 28.3 ( Figure 4) reflects the rays shaded by mirror 28.1.

The corrector box 22 and corrector mirror 30 are now rotated around the center of curvature R 0 to track the sun.
  • Curve A represents the spread on a horizontal plane of a parabolic mirror as shown in Figure 2. (A gap of 1 m at the center is allowed for quantitative comparison with the other curves.) The spread due to the conical character of the sun's rays is about 10 cm for a parabolic concentrator.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système mettant en oeuvre des capteurs optiques (10) comportant des creux cylindriques (14) au-dessous du niveau du sol à des fins de génération solaire-thermique d'électricité. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la paroi interne (24) du creux cylindrique (14) est revêtue d'un matériau réfléchissant, de manière à agir comme miroir collecteur cylindrique principal (20). Du fait que le creux (14) est situé dans le sol, ce miroir (20) peut être important et des densités importantes de puissance concentrée peuvent être obtenues. Un ensemble de miroirs correcteurs (28) dans une structure de type boîte relativement petite (22) focalise tous les rayons sur un tube récepteur (16) situé au niveau du centre d'incurvation du creux (14). Le suivi du soleil est obtenu par rotation de cette boîte de correcteurs (22) dans le creux (14) autour du centre d'incurvation. Le déplacement de miroirs importants n'est nécessaire du fait que le miroir principal important (20) est fixé et que les miroirs correcteurs (28) dans la boîte de correcteurs (22) sont relativement petits. Le capteur (10) peut également être utilisé comme concentrateur destiné à des cellules photovoltaïques ou il peut être utilisé pour le chauffage de l'eau.
