Abstract As a promising application of solar energy, parabolic trough solar thermal power generation technology is one of the most important methods of solar thermal utilization. This paper takes the SEGS VI parabolic trough plant as the research object and proposes an improved 30 MW parabolic trough solar thermal power plant.
However, statistics have consistently shown that with the development of trough solar thermal power generation technology, the installed capacity of trough solar thermal power generation has been significantly improved, but the overall plant efficiency is still at a low level.
Most of the commercially available PTC solar power plants use parabolic concentrators of the aperture with 5.77 m (Eurotrough). However, recently large aperture PTC such as SkyFuel trough of 6 m and Ultimatetrough 7.5 m is under development for reducing the cost of the solar field.
Second, based on SEGS VI Plant, an improved trough solar thermal power generation plant structure that uses a sub-region heating scheme is proposed. Third, the subsystems of the 30 MW power plant are analyzed and an optimization model for the overall plant efficiency is proposed.
Parabolic trough solar collectors are a type of solar thermal collector that can be used to generate electricity. This paper discusses the potential advantages and challenges of using parabolic trough solar collectors. One of the main advantages of parabolic trough solar collectors is their scalability.
A trough solar collector field comprises multiple parabolic trough-shaped mirrors in parallel rows aligned to enable these single-axis trough-shaped mirrors to track the sun from east to west during the day to ensure that the sun is continuously focused on the receiver pipes.
