Definitions
- This invention belongs to the field of solar concentration technologies for the production of superheated steam, more specifically to central tower receiver technology with heliostat field for application in electricity generation.
- thermoelectric solar power plants of optical concentration systems, which allow to achieve higher flow densities and thereby higher temperatures.
- CST thermoelectric solar power plants
- central receiver parabolic trough collectors
- Stirling discs All of them make use only of the direct component of solar radiation, which forces them to have solar tracking devices.
- the claimed invention pertains to the tower or central receiver (3D) systems.
- heliostats These use large surface mirrors (40-125 m2 per unit) called heliostats, which are equipped with a control system to reflect direct solar radiation on a central receiver located at the top of a tower.
- the concentrated solar radiation heats a fluid in the receiver at temperatures up to 1000 ° C, whose thermal energy can then be used for electricity generation.
- medium temperature receivers and high temperature receivers. If the heat transfer fluid is water, medium temperature receivers are also called saturated steam receivers or evaporators and high temperature receivers are called superheated steam receivers. Between them a boiler is installed.
- the solar tower concentration receivers can be exterior or arranged in a cavity located at the top of the tower in order to reduce losses thermal.
- the configuration must allow the incident power to exceed in magnitude the losses that occur due to radiation and convection.
- the temperature reached on the surface is higher than in saturated steam receivers, which is why radiation losses are also greater, however, they have the advantage of increasing the efficiency of the thermodynamic cycle, with what those losses are compensated.
- the present invention aims to design a receiver configuration that brings together the advantages of using high temperature steam, solving existing risks, achieving greater control of the plant and thus favoring the stability and durability of This and its components. Description of the invention
- the present invention relates to a configuration of the receivers in solar tower concentration plants with physical separation of the medium temperature and high temperature receivers.
- the heat transfer fluid is water
- a boiler or phase separator is installed that ensures that only high steam enters the high temperature receiver.
- This system unlike the prior art, does not place the modules of the medium and high temperature receivers away from each other, but the configuration proposed in the invention comprises one or several medium temperature receivers and one or several receivers High temperature independent, located in such a way, that high temperature receivers are physically located above and slightly ahead of medium temperature receivers.
- the proposed receiver and panel configuration is valid whether or not they are inside a cavity.
- the thermal losses in the receiver that follows this configuration that is to say with the high temperature receiver above the medium temperature receiver, decrease with respect to other configurations with receiver in cavity in which the receptors are separated into different cavities.
- the opening thereof (where the incident radiation enters) has its center located below the lower limit of the high temperature receiver so that the Most of the surface of the receiver faces the inner wall of the cavity.
- This wall is generally covered with reflective insulating material.
- the high temperature receiver having most of its surface facing the inside of the cavity and very little opening is that it allows a high percentage of the energy emitted by the high temperature receiver in the form of losses due to radiation reaches the insulating material inside the cavity and is reflected and subsequently reabsorbed by the high temperature receiver itself or by the medium temperature receiver, reducing losses and increasing plant efficiency.
- Another feature of this configuration is the fact of placing the high temperature receiver ahead of the medium temperature receiver. Due to this configuration, a part of the rays that are reflected in the average receiver reach the rear face of the high receiver. Until now, the production of saturated steam has been successfully tested in panels in which the radiation affects only one of its faces.
- the high temperature receivers of the invention receive radiation from both sides in the most critical area of them (area where the flow peaks are higher and there will be higher metal temperatures), since they absorb radiation from the heliostats ahead, but they also receive radiation from behind in the low zone since in that zone almost all the energy reflected by the high zone of the medium temperature receivers located just behind is affected.
- the configuration described here therefore allows to homogenize the metal temperature of the lower zone of the high temperature receivers, with the technical advantages that this entails: much lower existing tensions and much more uniform deformations in the more critical zone of the receivers of high temperature thus achieving the prolongation of the life of the materials.
- heliostats with a smaller spot or projection for example heliostats closer to the tower
- heliostats closer to the tower are focused towards the high temperature panels, in order to have lower overflow losses (since it is necessary to have a minimum number of heliostats focused on these panels to give a certain power to the receiver) and a better control of the flow peaks in the high temperature receiver.
- the heliostats closest to the tower will then focus towards a higher point (the center of the high temperature receiver) than the rest of the heliostats so the average annual energy they are able to reflect is greater than in other configurations where the High temperature receiver is not located above the medium temperature (due to cosine effect, blockages and shadows). In this type of configuration, therefore, the gross energy that reaches the solar receivers is also increased.
- the heat transfer fluid is water / steam as if it is oils, salts or any other fluid.
- This configuration is such that it allows simplifying the control of the plant, reducing the power flow requirements in the plant (by increasing the efficiency of the receiver) and improving its performance before transients or during starts and stops. And superheated steam is obtained in an efficient and controlled way, in order to guarantee the continued durability and normal operation of said solar plant in its different applications: electricity production, process heat production, solar fuel production and application to thermochemical processes .
- Figure 1 shows a diagram of a tower with three cavities, within each one a medium temperature receiver and a high temperature receiver.
- Figure 2 shows a two-dimensional view of the proposed configuration and a basic arrangement for medium and high temperature receivers within a cavity.
- the numerical references correspond to the following parts and elements.
- the heat transfer fluid circulating through the installation is water, so that the medium temperature receiver (3) is called saturated steam receiver or evaporator and the high temperature receiver (4) is called superheated steam receiver.
- the design of the configuration or location of the receivers (3, 4) at the top of the tower (1) would be the following: three saturated steam receivers (3) and three superheated steam (4), located two to two, in three different cavities (2).
- the superheated steam receivers (4) are located above and slightly ahead of the saturated steam receivers (3).
- the saturated steam receiver (3) is formed by vertical tubes and the superheater (4) by horizontal or vertical tubes, in both cases with manifolds at the inlet and outlet of the fluid in the receiver.
- a receiver of each type is placed in each cavity (2), with several planes for each saturated steam receiver (3) and superheated (4) (that is, the panels form different angles with respect to a given direction).
- cavities (2) are also considered in the same tower (1), oriented towards different places, with a boiler located above the superheated steam receiver (4) in each of the built cavities.
- the radiation reaches the receivers from each of the orientations and while it only affects one of the faces of the saturated receivers (3), the superheat receivers (4) are illuminated by both sides when they hit the area bottom of the back side part of the radiation that reflects the saturated steam receiver (3). That zone, the lower one, is a critical zone since in it the flow peaks are higher therefore, the fact of receiving heat from both sides helps to reduce the tensions of the materials.
- the annual gross energy received by the receiver is increased by having some heliostats a higher focus point than that estimated for other configurations.
