Background
Solar energy is a clean, environment-friendly and widely distributed renewable energy source, and tower type solar high-temperature thermal power generation is a solar power generation technology which is commercialized and gradually improved. The heat absorber is core equipment of the tower type solar photothermal power station, and the light-heat conversion performance of the heat absorber directly influences the operation efficiency and the economy of the whole solar power station.
The heat absorbers adopted by the existing tower type solar thermal power plant are generally a molten salt heat absorber, a water working medium heat absorber, a heat conduction oil heat absorber and the like, the heat storage media corresponding to the heat absorbers are respectively nitrate, water, heat conduction oil and the like, the heat absorption temperature of the heat storage media is relatively low, and the thermoelectric efficiency of the rear end of the solar thermal power plant is severely limited. In order to improve the heat storage temperature of the heat storage medium, when the solid heat storage particles are used as the heat storage medium, the heat storage temperature can reach about 1000 ℃, the thermoelectric efficiency at the rear end of a solar thermal power plant can be greatly improved, the heat storage characteristics of the solid heat storage particles can be fully utilized, and the particle heat absorber is suitable for the particle heat absorber using the solid heat storage particles as the heat storage medium.
At present, solid particle heat absorbers are mainly divided into a free-falling type, a blocking-falling type, a rotary kiln type, a fluidized bed type and the like, and various solid particle heat absorbers have the advantages and the disadvantages. Free fall and blocked fall are widely concerned due to simple structures, but the free fall and blocked fall are based on gravity as natural main power, so that the falling speed of solid particles is difficult to control, the falling speed is high, the heat absorption time is short, and solar energy cannot be fully absorbed; the thickness of the particle heat absorption layer is uneven, so that the heat absorption temperature of solid particles is uneven in distribution and the hot spot problem is easy to occur; when solid particles directly fall to absorb heat, the solid particles are interfered by air flow inside the heat absorber or external environment wind, the particles fall to be scattered, and the flow path of the particles cannot be controlled. Therefore, the invention creates a new type of solar particle heat absorber with a particle flow mode, and realizes the flexible and controllable particle flow speed, thickness and uniformity of the solar particle heat absorber, thereby improving the light-heat conversion efficiency and the temperature distribution uniformity of the heat absorber, and being particularly important for engineering practice.
