Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tower-type solar thermal energy collection system, where a set of individual concentrators or heliostats direct solar radiation towards the receiver.
- a system for collecting solar thermal energy is known in the state of the art, namely, a central tower system comprising a plurality of heliostats, a reflector device provided with two degrees of freedom that makes possible its orientation in any direction of space, which conveniently directed individually by a pointing system based on light sensors or solar equations, allow to concentrate on a receiver, usually located at a certain height on a tower on purpose, the radiation received from the sun for all the heliostats, thus achieving a high density of energy in said receiver that makes it possible to use it for electricity generation, by means of a classic steam cycle, or for the development of strongly endothermic reactions.
- a fixed receiver located in a tower receives the radiation flow from a plurality of also fixed heliostats, although endowed with two rotating degrees of freedom, generally arranged in azimuthal mounting, although theoretically also equatorial assemblies are possible
- the Sun travels an apparent path, due in fact to the rotational movement of which the Earth is animated, which begins approximately in the East and ends approximately in the West, finding its highest point when crossing the meridian of the place, the location coordinates of the Sun being variable depending on the latitude of the place, the hour or hour angle and the station or declination angle, it turns out that the drive path of each Heliostat must travel a path that begins in the direction of the bisector of the angle formed by the Sun at the time of the ortho, the heliostat and the receiver, ends in the direction of the bisector of the angle formed by the Sun at the time of sunset, the heliostat and the receiver, naturally passing through the direction of the bisector of the angle formed by the Sun as it passes through the meridian, the heliostat and the receiver.
- Figure 3 shows the angle ⁇ formed by the normal to the optical plane of the heliostat with the incident ray coming from the Sun. This motivates that the energy used in each position is equivalent to the product of the energy flow multiplied by the area of the heliostat and by the cosine of a, apart from the reflection yields.
- a disadvantage of the aforementioned system is that the larger the angle ⁇ , the lower its cosine, thereby reducing energy intake for purely geometric reasons, which is known as the "cosine effect”.
- the amplitude of the angle ⁇ at certain times of the day and days of the year causes a loss of the potential capacity of energy capture of solar tower plants, which until now has been assumed as an intrinsic limitation of the system.
- An object of the solar thermal concentration system is to provide a variable geometry to a tower of the solar thermal system where the tower is adapted to be moved along a vertical axis of the tower and rotated along the axis vertical or turning the tower, so that the receiver located at the upper distal end of a tower absorbs the incident solar radiation redirected to it by a set of fixed and / or mobile heliostats.
- Another object of the solar thermal concentration system is to provide heliostats mounted on a mobile frame that horizontally translates the heliostat to avoid the appearance of shadows caused by other heliostats or by the tower itself, and allows to find the best possible orientation angle thereof , therefore, energy collection is improved.
- the heliostats are displaceable at will depending on the position of the sun at each moment of the day, so that they always have an advantageous orientation, allow to increase the energy efficiency of the solar thermal concentration system thus improving the energy capture.
- Another object of the concentration system is to maximize the collection of solar energy by also varying the geometry of the tower depending on the time of day and the position of the heliostats.
- thermosolar system of variable geometry concentration is to allow the height of the tower receiver to be varied relative to the ground, provided by a relative movement between a fixed segment and a mobile segment of the tower. Therefore, the center of the receiver moves between a maximum and minimum height with respect to the ground, which allows to optimize for each day and time the relative position heliostats-receiver to increase the uptake of radiant energy.
- Figure 1 shows in a diagram a system for collecting solar thermal energy concentration of the tower type according to the state of the art
- Figures 2 to 4 show the way in which a heliostat reflects solar radiation towards the tower of the tower-type solar thermal energy collection system according to the state of the art
- Figure 5 shows in a diagram a system for collecting solar thermal energy of concentration of the variable geometry tower type
- Figure 6 shows in a diagram a detail of a carriage rolling system on which a heliostat is installed
- Figure 7 shows in a perspective view of the tower of the solar thermal energy collection system of variable geometry concentration
- Figure 8 shows in a perspective view the tower with its shaft deployed and folded.
- thermosolar energy of variable geometry comprises a plurality of heliostats 12 that can be moved at will depending on the position of the sun at each moment of the day ; that receive solar energy from the sun to reflect it towards the upper distal end of a tower 13, which houses, at said distal end 51, a receiver to receive the radiation reflected by heliostats 12 and the reflected solar energy received is transformed into thermal energy that , in turn, is transformed into electrical or chemical energy, for example hydrogen.
- Heliostat 12 is located on a motorized carriage or mobile platform 53 that includes a displacement unit, namely, displacer that is horizontally movable on the terrain of the heliostat field; a tracking unit, that is, a follower of the position of the sun that allows azimuthal and zenithal turns to be made to heliostat 12, and provides control signals to the displacer to position heliostat 12, so that it reflects the maximum incident solar radiation towards the receiver located at the upper distal end 51 of the tower 1 1, regardless of the position of the sun over a day and year.
- the movement of heliostats 12 can occur both by predetermined paths and freely and autonomously on the surface of the heliostat field of the 1 1 thermosolar system. The movement of heliostats 12 following a predetermined path facilitates both the supply of energy for the movements of heliostat 12 and the control thereof.
- heliostat 12 Since heliostat 12 is transferable from one position to another much more advantageous from the point of view of the cosine effect, a smaller angle ⁇ implies a greater surface area normal to the incident ray, thus improving energy collection and providing the possibility to avoid the appearance of shadows caused by other heliostats 12 or by the tower 13 of the thermosolar system 1 1.
- the car 53 is provided with a motorization system, either autonomous or centralized, which allows it to move the heliostats from one position to another.
- the carriage 53 includes a rolling system of the solid or pneumatic wheel type adapted to roll on prepared or not prepared ground, wheel and rail systems, air mattress systems or even platform systems floating on water sheet, being the devices used for both electromechanical and mechanical cable traction.
- the carriage 53 is adapted to move on a track 54 formed by two rails arranged in parallel and concentric with respect to the tower 12, other arrangements of the different rails being also possible. of the circular; on which a plurality of cars 53 circulate, each of which supports a heliostat 12.
- Parallel to the rails 54 runs a power and control rail 61 adapted to supply electrical power to the heliostats 12 and for order communication from a central heliostat control system 12.
- each heliostat 12 follows an individual path of horizontal translation and orientation throughout the day and year.
- Heliostats 12 may enter a position of defense or configuration corresponding to the exposure of minimum surface to wind to ensure its stability and integrity in case of adverse weather events such as strong wind.
- the carriage 53 comprises a stress absorber of the wheelset type, claws located under the support rail 54 of hydraulic or electromechanical actuation to materialize the emergency anchoring of the heliostats 12 to the support rail 54 that supports them, therefore capable of absorbing vertical tensile stresses.
- the follower governs the azimuthal and zenithal rotation of the heliostat 12 and also the horizontal translation of the mobile frame 53 on the ground.
- the tower 13 comprises, from the foundation thereof, a fixed shaft segment 81 that rises substantially vertically from the foundation, a mobile shaft segment 82, namely , shaft segment assembled in telescopic mode that allows the segment 82 of telescopic shaft to carry out a translation movement in ascending or descending elevation along a vertical axis AA 'of tower 13 and a rotating segment 83 in the form of a rotating gondola, comprising a cavity 52 where the receiver of tower 13 is housed.
- the rotating gondola 83 allows a rotation movement to the receiver along a vertical axis AA 'of the tower 13, so that the rotating gondola 83 travels an arc of circumference in both directions of rotation, that is, west-east and vice versa.
- the receiver is located in the cavity 52 of the distal end of the tower 13 mechanically connected to the rotating gondola 83, so that the axis of the receiver is aligned with the axis of rotation of the gondola 83, thereby avoiding totally the risk of blurring during system movements, consequently achieving maximum energy uptake possible in the center of the receiver plane.
- the telescopic shaft segment 82 is connected from its upper or distal part to the lower or proximal part of the rotating gondola 83 by means of a rotating mechanical joining device that allows a rotating movement of the rotating gondola 83 to be carried out with respect to to segment 82 of telescopic shaft.
- the rotary mechanical joining device is of the toothed bearing type that allows the rotation of the rotating gondola 83 and, therefore, of the receiver itself.
- the telescopic shaft segment 82 is connected in its proximal or lower part to the top of the fixed shaft segment 81 by means of a mechanical lifting and lowering device that allows the vertical translation movement in elevation and descent to be carried out. along the vertical axis AA ', to the telescopic shaft segment 82 with respect to the fixed shaft segment 81.
- the lifting device is of the self-climbing type, which comprises a telescopic and guiding mechanism which, in turn, includes an arrangement of cylinders and mechanical grips, so that with successive movements of extension and compression of the arrangement of cylinders, the telescopic shaft segment 82 performs an ascent or descent movement.
- the lifting device can be of the rack-and-pinion type, cylinder with pulley arrangement, etc.
- the rotating gondola 83 and the mobile shaft segment 82 comprise protective elements to prevent damage caused by concentrated solar radiation that affects parts of the rotating gondola 83 external to the receiver of tower 1 1.
