Developing a thermal design for steam power plants by using concentrating solar power technologies for a clean environment

A significant number of installations based on renewable energy sources are currently used in energy complexes in regions with high solar radiation. In particular, importance is attached to the use of direct solar energy conversion systems. The use of solar installations to provide thermal and electric energy is one of the promising areas of resources and energy saving. For more efficient use of solar energy, you can use combined plants that produce both thermal and electrical energy. Installations themselves to save materials, space and assembly time can be combined with the roof of buildings and structures. The authors of the presented work conducted experimental studies and obtained comparative characteristics of the operation of thermal, photovoltaic and combined solar installations. The main purpose of this study is to discuss the possibility of the development of thermal design power plants to produce electric power conventional steam to work the semi-joint system to exploit an array of solar collectors concentrated type parabolic cylindrical in processing the amount of thermal energy for steam turbine unit. In the study of the effectiveness of different designs to link Matrix complexes solar concentration in thermal design of the plant steam and as a measure of effectiveness was the use of the amount of savings in the amount of fuel consumed for the production of an electric power network, as a result of the use of matrix compounds concentrating solar power (CSP) study showed economic efficiency and environmental design of the proposed terms of the amount of savings the lowest in the amount of fuel consumed in the network 177.5 tons/year. Design of thermal energy for solar collectors concentrated matrix. Accordingly, the decrease in the amount of thermal energy and the amount of nitrogen oxides, which produced in the surrounded medium 0.628 tons.
