Abstract

With the development of industry, the large-scale exploitation and use of fossil fuels, especially coal, oil and natural gas, cause serious impact on the environment. Therefore, the development of renewable energy has become an important way to solve the problem between energy and environment. Solar energy, a kind of clean energy, with large reserves and distribution, has caused the wide attention of people. Solar tower thermal power generation technology is promising way to use solar energy to generate electric power. This paper established a system model of a 30 MW tower solar thermal power plant, analyzed the system by using the second thermodynamics law. In addition, the storage and release performances of the molten salt thermal storage subsystem under various irradiation have been explored.
