Methodology A typical solar tower thermal power generation system consists of three main components: a solar field that collects and concentrates sunlight, a thermal energy storage (TES) system for storing and releasing thermal energy, and a power block that converts thermal energy into electricity.
A solar power tower, also known as 'central tower' power plant or ' heliostat ' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun's rays upon a collector tower (the target).
These include the two-tank direct system, two-tank indirect system, and single-tank thermocline system. Solar thermal energy in this system is stored in the same fluid used to collect it. The fluid is stored in two tanks—one at high temperature and the other at low temperature.
Solar thermal storage (STS) refers to the accumulation of energy collected by a given solar field for its later use. In the context of this chapter, STS technologies are installed to provide the solar plant with partial or full dispatchability, so that the plant output does not depend strictly in time on the input, i.e., the solar irradiation.
Thermal energy storage forms a key component of a power plant for improvement of its dispatchability. Though there have been many reviews of storage media, there are not many that focus on storage system design along with its integration into the power plant.
Active two-tank systems The principal elements for a two-tank thermal energy storage system are the material inventory, HTF, heat exchangers and the storage tanks, apart from the storage material circulation pumps. During charging, the amount of heat stored in the fluid depends on the heat supplied by the solar field.
