Zusammenfassung: | A steam cycle for use with solar-powered boilers employs a conventional condensing turbine-generator to produce mechanical power from superheated steam. The condensate is reheated and passed to a steam drum where it mixes with superheated steam from the solar furnace. Satd. steam is produced and is circulated to cool the solar boiler, producing superheated steam which passes to the turbine and to the steam drum as already described. The entire circuit is closed and may be located within the boiler tower at the focus of the solar mirror array. The steam drum may be used as a form of energy storage to even the energy fluctuations arising from changing cloud cover. |
