Review of Solar Thermal Power Generation Technology

As we all know, solar energy resources is almost inexhaustible and the solar power generation technology is environmentally friendly. In this paper, we enumerate five Solar thermal power generation systems, include the solar parabolic focusing system, the central receiver or the solar tower focusing system, the disk paraboloid focusing system, the solar pool power generation system and the solar energy Stirling thermal power generation system, to introduce the solar thermal power generation technology. Among them, the first three kinds of solar thermal power generation systems are concentrating solar thermal power category. The latter two is a new field of solar thermal power technology research. This paper expounds the advantages and disadvantages of various power generation way. At the same time, it briefly introduces the development of solar power technology in China. And this paper points out the advantageous conditions of our country to develop solar power systems and natural space.
