Hybrid thermodynamic cycle with isothermal heat addition via concentrated solar power array
A system includes a compressor, a concentrated solar panel (CSP) array, a turbine, and a recuperator. The turbine has a turbine casing assembly including at least a first casing and a second casing at least partially disposed around the first casing. At least one of the first casing or the second casing is at least partially transparent to solar energy concentrated from the CSP array to isothermally heat a working fluid as the working fluid passes through the turbine.
CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER STORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD
A concentrated solar power storage system and method convert water into water vapor by the solar thermal energy, and the water vapor further operates a hydroelectric power generation system with a water storage (or an energy storage capsule) through a repeated conversion process.
Method for generating electricity with solar heat pipe absorber
A method for generating electricity with a system having a water tank, an electricity generating plant and a parabolic trough solar power plant including transferring water from the water tank to the solar power plant. The water is received in a helical pipe located within a glass pipe encasing an absorber tube of a parabolic trough solar power plant. The glass pipe and the helical pipe extend from a first end to a second end of a parabolic trough along a central axis of the glass pipe an. During periods of high irradiance the water is converted in the helical pipe to steam by focusing solar radiation on the absorber tube. A sand filled pipe extends from the first end to the second end of the parabolic trough along the central axis of the glass pipe Steam is expelled from the helical pipe. During periods of low irradiance the water is released the water within the helical pipe to the inner pipe located within the sand filled pipe, converting the water to steam with the heated sand in the sand filled pipe, expelling the steam, transferring the steam to a turbine to generate mechanical energy in the turbine, and transferring the mechanical energy to generate electricity.
Solar steam electricity system
An electricity generation system including an electricity generating plant with a turbine, a dynamo and a solar power plant having an absorber tube for a parabolic trough solar power plant that includes a glass pipe which extends from a first end to a second end of a parabolic trough, a helical pipe enclosed within the glass pipe. A sand filled pipe is surrounded by the helical pipe. An inner pipe extends from the first end to the second end of the parabolic trough along the central axis of the glass pipe. A solenoid valve is configured to block the water from entering the inner pipe when the solenoid valve is closed and release the water to the inner pipe when the solenoid valve is opened. The turbine is fluidly connected to the solar power plant to receive the steam and produce mechanical energy which rotates the dynamo.
Onshore electricity generation system
The provided is an electricity generation system which utilises both solar energy and magma energy to generate electricity. The electricity generation system includes a condenser containing refrigerant inside, a pump connected to the condenser, a heat exchanger connected with the pump, heater pipes, a compressor, an air filter II, an air filter I, cooler pipes, and a turbine.
