Abstract
Description
本発明は、太陽熱タービン発電装置およびその制御方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a solar thermal power generator and a control method thereof.
太陽光を利用した発電装置の1つとして、太陽光の熱により加熱した空気等の圧縮性流体によってタービンを駆動して発電する太陽熱タービン発電装置が知られている。
このような太陽熱タービン発電装置は、例えば下記特許文献1に開示されており、空気を圧縮して昇圧する圧縮機と、太陽光を変換した熱により圧縮後の空気を加熱して昇温させる受熱器と、加熱されて高温高圧となった空気によって駆動されるガスタービンと、ガスタービンの排熱を利用して発生した蒸気によって駆動される蒸気タービンとを備えている。
As one of power generation apparatuses using sunlight, a solar thermal turbine power generation apparatus that generates power by driving a turbine with a compressive fluid such as air heated by the heat of sunlight is known.
Such a solar heat turbine power generator is disclosed in, for example,
同文献では、蒸気タービンによる発電が可能となるように、蒸気タービンの上流に太陽熱蒸気発生器を配置し、集光器で集めた熱によって太陽熱蒸気発生器にて蒸気が生成できるようになっている。これにより、日射強度が低下しガスタービンの運転が停止してガスタービン排熱によって蒸気が生成できない状態でも、太陽熱蒸気発生器にて蒸気を生成して蒸気タービンが駆動できるようになっている。 In this document, a solar heat steam generator is arranged upstream of the steam turbine so that power generation by the steam turbine is possible, and steam can be generated by the solar heat steam generator by the heat collected by the condenser. Yes. Thereby, even if the solar radiation intensity is reduced and the operation of the gas turbine is stopped and the steam cannot be generated by the exhaust heat of the gas turbine, the steam turbine can be driven by generating steam with the solar heat steam generator.
しかし、上記特許文献1は、日射強度が低下した際の熱効率を改善するものである。
一方、太陽光の日射強度が大きい場合(南中時付近)では、上記特許文献1には開示されていない以下の問題がある。
すなわち、一般に、太陽熱発電では、一日を通じてシステムに必要な熱量を集光するため、朝方等の日射強度が小さい(太陽高度の低い)時刻に合わせてシステムを設計する必要がある。なぜなら、日射強度が大きい時刻に合わせてシステムを設計すると、日射強度が大きい時刻では受熱器にて所望の温度まで作動流体を加熱することができるが、日射強度が小さい時刻では受熱量が小さいので所望の温度まで作動流体を加熱することができないからである。したがって、日射強度が小さい時刻に合わせて受熱器を設計せざるを得ないが、日射強度が大きい時刻では、受熱器を構成する熱交換器の設計上、必要熱量を上回る熱量を集熱することができない。したがって、実際の運用では、日射強度が大きい時刻では、一部のヘリオスタットの反射角度を変更して受熱器にて集光させないようにしている。これは、日射強度が大きい時刻では、利用することができるヘリオスタットが存在するにもかかわらず、余剰なヘリオスタットとして利用せず、システムとして稼働率を下げた状態で運用せざるを得ないという問題がある。
However, the said
On the other hand, when the solar radiation intensity is high (near the middle and middle hours), there are the following problems that are not disclosed in
That is, in general, in solar thermal power generation, the amount of heat necessary for the system is collected throughout the day, and therefore it is necessary to design the system in accordance with the time when the solar radiation intensity is low (the solar altitude is low) in the morning. This is because if the system is designed for a time when the solar radiation intensity is high, the working fluid can be heated to a desired temperature with a heat receiver at a time when the solar radiation intensity is high, but the amount of heat received is small at a time when the solar radiation intensity is low. This is because the working fluid cannot be heated to a desired temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to design the heat receiver according to the time when the solar radiation intensity is low, but at the time when the solar radiation intensity is large, the heat exchanger that constitutes the heat receiver is designed to collect heat more than necessary. I can't. Therefore, in actual operation, at a time when the solar radiation intensity is high, the reflection angle of some heliostats is changed so as not to be condensed by the heat receiver. This means that at times when the solar radiation intensity is high, there is a heliostat that can be used, but it is not used as an extra heliostat, and the system must be operated with a reduced operating rate. There's a problem.
本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、例えば昼間のように日射強度が大きい場合であっても有効に集熱することができる太陽熱タービン発電装置およびその制御方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a solar turbine power generation apparatus capable of effectively collecting heat even when the solar radiation intensity is high, such as in the daytime, and a control method thereof. The purpose is to do.
上記課題を解決するために、本発明の太陽熱タービン発電装置およびその制御方法は以下の手段を採用する。
すなわち、本発明の第1の態様にかかる太陽熱タービン発電装置は、太陽光を反射する反射角度が変更可能とされた複数の反射器と、これら反射器にて反射された太陽光が集光される受熱器と、該受熱器にて得られた熱によって駆動されて発電するタービン発電機とを備えた太陽熱タービン発電装置において、前記受熱器は、第1受熱器と、第2受熱器とを有し、前記第1受熱器に集光される熱量が所望値に到達した場合に、該第1受熱器に太陽光を集光していない他の前記反射器である余剰反射器を、前記第2受熱器に集光するように前記反射角度を調整する制御部を備えている。
In order to solve the above-described problems, the solar thermal power generation apparatus and the control method thereof according to the present invention employ the following means.
That is, the solar thermal power generation apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of reflectors whose reflection angles for reflecting sunlight can be changed, and sunlight reflected by these reflectors. And a turbine generator that generates power by being driven by the heat obtained by the heat receiver, the heat receiver includes a first heat receiver and a second heat receiver. And when the amount of heat collected on the first heat receiver reaches a desired value, the surplus reflector, which is the other reflector that does not collect sunlight on the first heat receiver, The control part which adjusts the said reflection angle so that it may condense on a 2nd heat receiver is provided.
第1受熱器に集光される熱量が所望値(例えば定格運転時の設計熱量)に到達した場合に、第1受熱器に太陽光を集光していない他の反射器である余剰反射器が存在する。本発明では、これら余剰反射器の反射角度を調整し、第2受熱器に集光するようにした。これにより、第1受熱器に集光できずに利用できていなかった太陽熱エネルギーを第2受熱器にて無駄なく使用することができ、日射の強い南中時付近であっても有効に集熱することができる。 When the amount of heat collected on the first heat receiver reaches a desired value (for example, the design heat amount during rated operation), the surplus reflector is another reflector that does not collect sunlight on the first heat receiver. Exists. In the present invention, the reflection angle of these surplus reflectors is adjusted and condensed on the second heat receiver. As a result, the solar heat energy that could not be used because it could not be concentrated on the first heat receiver could be used without waste in the second heat receiver, and it was able to collect heat effectively even in the vicinity of the south and middle hours when solar radiation was strong. can do.
さらに、前記第1の態様に係る太陽熱タービン発電装置では、前記タービン発電機は、前記第1受熱器によって加熱されたガスによって駆動されるガスタービンと、該ガスタービンから排気された排気ガスから熱を回収して蒸気を発生する排ガスボイラと、前記第2受熱器によって得られた熱によって蒸気を発生する蒸気発生器と、前記排ガスボイラ、及び/又は、前記蒸気発生器から導かれた蒸気によって駆動される蒸気タービンとを備えていてもよい。 Furthermore, in the solar thermal power generation apparatus according to the first aspect, the turbine generator generates heat from the gas turbine driven by the gas heated by the first heat receiver and the exhaust gas exhausted from the gas turbine. An exhaust gas boiler that generates steam by collecting steam, a steam generator that generates steam by the heat obtained by the second heat receiver, and a steam led from the exhaust gas boiler and / or the steam generator And a driven steam turbine.
第1受熱器によってガス(例えば空気)を加熱してガスタービンを駆動して発電するとともに、ガスタービンから排気された排気ガスを用いた排ガスボイラから導かれた蒸気によって蒸気タービンを駆動して発電することにより、高効率な複合発電が実現される。本発明では、さらに、第2受熱器によって得られた熱によって蒸気を発生する蒸気発生器を設け、蒸気タービンを駆動することとした。これにより、第2受熱器にて得られた熱を蒸気タービンにて有効に利用して発電することができる。 A gas (for example, air) is heated by the first heat receiver to drive the gas turbine to generate power, and the steam turbine is driven by steam guided from the exhaust gas boiler using the exhaust gas exhausted from the gas turbine to generate power. By doing so, highly efficient combined power generation is realized. In the present invention, a steam generator that generates steam by the heat obtained by the second heat receiver is further provided to drive the steam turbine. Thereby, it is possible to generate electricity by effectively using the heat obtained by the second heat receiver in the steam turbine.
さらに、前記第1の態様に係る太陽熱タービン発電装置では、前記第2受熱器にて得られた熱を蓄熱する蓄熱手段を有していてもよい。 Furthermore, the solar thermal turbine power generator according to the first aspect may have a heat storage means for storing heat obtained by the second heat receiver.
第2受熱器にて得られた熱を蓄熱手段にて蓄熱することとした。これにより、第2受熱器にて集光している間は蓄熱しておき、例えば日射が減り発電量が減少した場合や日射が無い夜間に、蓄熱を用いて発電することができる。したがって、日射の強弱や有無にかかわりなく高い稼働率を実現することができる。
なお、蓄熱手段としては、例えば、溶融塩(例えば硝酸ナトリウムと硝酸カリウムとの混合塩)と、溶融塩を貯留する貯留タンクとを備えている。
The heat obtained by the second heat receiver is stored by the heat storage means. As a result, heat is stored while the light is condensed by the second heat receiver, and power can be generated using heat storage, for example, when solar radiation is reduced and the amount of power generation is reduced, or at night when there is no solar radiation. Therefore, a high operating rate can be realized regardless of the intensity of solar radiation and the presence or absence thereof.
The heat storage means includes, for example, a molten salt (for example, a mixed salt of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate) and a storage tank for storing the molten salt.
さらに、前記第1の態様に係る太陽熱タービン発電装置では、前記制御部は、前記排ガスボイラからの蒸気量が所定値以下となった場合に、前記蓄熱手段で蓄熱していた熱によって前記蒸気発生器にて蒸気を生成して前記蒸気タービンを駆動する構成であってもよい。 Furthermore, in the solar turbine power generator according to the first aspect, the control unit generates the steam by the heat stored in the heat storage means when the amount of steam from the exhaust gas boiler becomes a predetermined value or less. The steam turbine may be configured to drive the steam turbine by generating steam.
太陽高度が低くなり日射量が減少してくると第1受熱器にて得られる熱量が減少し、ガスタービンの出力が減少し、排ガスボイラからの蒸気量が減少する。本発明では、このような場合であっても、また、例えば夜間のように日射が無く排ガスボイラから蒸気が生成されない場合であっても、蓄熱手段にて蓄熱していた熱によって蒸気発生器を稼働して蒸気を生成することができ、長時間の発電運転が可能となる。 When the solar altitude decreases and the amount of solar radiation decreases, the amount of heat obtained by the first heat receiver decreases, the output of the gas turbine decreases, and the amount of steam from the exhaust gas boiler decreases. In the present invention, even in such a case, or even when there is no solar radiation and no steam is generated from the exhaust gas boiler, for example, at night, the steam generator is used by the heat stored in the heat storage means. It can be operated to generate steam, and power generation operation can be performed for a long time.
さらに、前記第1の態様に係る太陽熱タービン発電装置では、鉛直方向に立設されたタワーの上部に前記第1受熱器および前記第2受熱器が設けられ、該タワーの周囲に複数の前記反射器が設けられた第1集光領域と、鉛直方向に立設されたタワーの上部に前記第1受熱器のみが設けられ、該タワーの周囲に複数の前記反射器が設けられた第2集光領域とを備え、前記第2集光領域は、前記第1集光領域を取り囲むように複数設けられ、前記制御部は、前記第1集光領域の前記余剰反射器を前記第2受熱器に集光するとともに、それぞれの前記第2集光領域の前記余剰反射器を前記第2受熱器に集光する構成であってもよい。 Furthermore, in the solar thermal power generation apparatus according to the first aspect, the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver are provided in an upper portion of a tower that is erected in the vertical direction, and a plurality of the reflections are provided around the tower. A first condensing region provided with a vessel, and a second collector in which only the first heat receiver is provided on an upper portion of a tower standing in a vertical direction, and a plurality of reflectors are provided around the tower. A plurality of second condensing regions are provided so as to surround the first condensing region, and the control unit supplies the surplus reflector of the first condensing region to the second heat receiver. In addition, it may be configured such that the excessive reflector in each of the second condensing regions is condensed on the second heat receiver.
第1受熱器に集光される熱量が所望値に到達した場合に、第1受熱器に太陽光を集光しない余剰反射器の数は、稼働率を考慮して設計されるので、一般にはそれほど多いものではない。そこで、本発明では、第1集光領域にのみ第1受熱器に加えて第2受熱器を設置し、この第1集光領域を取り囲む第2集光領域には第2受熱器を設けずに第1受熱器のみを設けることとした。これにより、余剰反射器から反射された太陽光は、中央に位置する第1集光領域に設けられた第2受熱器に総合して集められる。したがって、第2受熱器における受熱量が増大し、効率的に第2受熱器における受熱がより有効に行われることとなる。
また、第2集光領域は、第1集光領域を取り囲むように配置されているので、第2集光領域の余剰反射器を第1集光領域の第2受熱器に向けることが容易となる。
When the amount of heat collected on the first heat receiver reaches a desired value, the number of excess reflectors that do not collect sunlight on the first heat receiver is designed in consideration of the operating rate. Not so much. Therefore, in the present invention, in addition to the first heat receiver, the second heat receiver is installed only in the first light collection region, and the second heat receiver is not provided in the second light collection region surrounding the first light collection region. Only the first heat receiver was provided. Thereby, the sunlight reflected from the surplus reflector is collectively collected by the 2nd heat receiving device provided in the 1st condensing area located in the center. Therefore, the amount of heat received in the second heat receiver increases, and the heat received in the second heat receiver is efficiently performed more efficiently.
In addition, since the second light collection region is arranged so as to surround the first light collection region, it is easy to direct the surplus reflector of the second light collection region to the second heat receiver of the first light collection region. Become.
また、本発明の第2の態様に係る太陽熱タービン発電装置の制御方法は、太陽光を反射する反射角度が変更可能とされた複数の反射器と、これら反射器にて反射された太陽光が集光される受熱器と、該受熱器にて得られた熱によって駆動されて発電するタービン発電機とを備えた太陽熱タービン発電装置の制御方法において、前記受熱器は、第1受熱器と、第2受熱器とを有し、前記第1受熱器に集光される熱量が所望値に到達した場合に、該第1受熱器に太陽光を集光していない他の前記反射器である余剰反射器を、前記第2受熱器に集光するように前記反射角度を調整する。 Moreover, the control method of the solar thermal turbine power generation device according to the second aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of reflectors whose reflection angles reflecting sunlight can be changed, and sunlight reflected by these reflectors. In a control method of a solar thermal turbine power generation apparatus including a heat receiver that is condensed and a turbine generator that is driven by the heat obtained by the heat receiver to generate electric power, the heat receiver includes: a first heat receiver; A second heat receiver, and when the amount of heat collected on the first heat receiver reaches a desired value, the other heat reflector does not collect sunlight on the first heat receiver. The reflection angle is adjusted so that the surplus reflector is condensed on the second heat receiver.
第1受熱器に集光される熱量が所望値(例えば定格運転時の設計熱量)に到達した場合に、第1受熱器に太陽光を集光していない他の反射器である余剰反射器が存在する。本発明では、これら余剰反射器の反射角度を調整し、第2受熱器に集光するようにした。これにより、第1受熱器に集光できずに利用できていなかった太陽熱エネルギーを第2受熱器にて無駄なく使用することができ、日射の強い南中時付近であっても有効に集熱することができる。 When the amount of heat collected on the first heat receiver reaches a desired value (for example, the design heat amount during rated operation), the surplus reflector is another reflector that does not collect sunlight on the first heat receiver. Exists. In the present invention, the reflection angle of these surplus reflectors is adjusted and condensed on the second heat receiver. As a result, the solar heat energy that could not be used because it could not be concentrated on the first heat receiver could be used without waste in the second heat receiver, and it was able to collect heat effectively even in the vicinity of the south and middle hours when the solar radiation was strong. can do.
第1受熱器に集光される熱量が所望値に到達した場合に、第1受熱器に太陽光を集光していない余剰反射器の反射角度を調整し、第2受熱器に集光するようにしたので、第1受熱器に集光できずに利用できていなかった太陽熱エネルギーを第2受熱器にて無駄なく使用することができ、日射の強い南中時付近であっても有効に集熱することができる。
また、第2受熱器にて得られた熱を蓄熱手段にて蓄熱することとしたので、第2受熱器にて集光している間は蓄熱しておき、例えば日射が減り発電量が減少した場合や日射が無い夜間に、蓄熱を用いて発電することができる。したがって、日射の強弱や有無にかかわりなく高い稼働率を実現することができる。
When the amount of heat collected on the first heat receiver reaches a desired value, the reflection angle of the surplus reflector that does not collect sunlight on the first heat receiver is adjusted, and the light is collected on the second heat receiver. As a result, the solar heat energy that could not be used because it could not be condensed on the first heat receiver could be used without waste in the second heat receiver, and it would be effective even in the vicinity of the south and central hours when the solar radiation is strong. Can collect heat.
In addition, since the heat obtained by the second heat receiver is stored by the heat storage means, heat is stored while it is condensed by the second heat receiver, for example, the solar radiation is reduced and the power generation amount is reduced. If it does, or at night when there is no solar radiation, it can generate electricity using heat storage. Therefore, a high operating rate can be realized regardless of the intensity of solar radiation and the presence or absence thereof.
以下、本発明の太陽熱タービン発電装置の一実施形態について、図1乃至図4を用いて説明する。
図1には、太陽熱タービン発電装置1の全体構成が示されている。太陽熱タービン発電装置1は、中央に位置する第1ヘリオフィールド(第1発電領域)3aと、この第1ヘリオフィールド3aを取り囲むように配置された複数の第2ヘリオフィールド(第2発電領域)3bとを備えている。第2ヘリオフィールド3bは、同図に示した実施形態では6つとなっているが、その数は本発明において特に限定されるものではない。ただし、同図に示されているように、第1ヘリオフィールド3aを取り囲むようにそれぞれが接近した状態で設けることが好ましい。
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the solar turbine generator of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

圧縮機20は、大気中の空気(圧縮性作動流体)を吸入して所定の高圧まで圧縮する軸流式圧縮機とされている。圧縮機20は、同軸にて接続されたガスタービン13の回転駆動力の一部を用いて駆動されている。なお、圧縮機20は、ガスタービン13に対して同軸にて接続された一軸式に限定されるものではなく、ギアを介して接続された二軸式とされていても良い。
ガスタービン13は、第1受熱器7にて高温に昇温された空気が導かれて回転駆動される軸流式とされている。ガスタービン13の回転動力は、ガスタービン側発電機22に伝達され、電力が得られるようになっている。

給水ポンプ24から吐出される給水は、上述した排ガスボイラ15へ導かれるだけでなく、第2給水分岐点33にて分岐されて溶融塩熱交換器(蒸気発生器)35へも導かれるようになっている。なお、後述するが、第1給水分岐点27と第2給水分岐点33とは、図示しない制御部によって、いずれかが選択されるようになっている(図4参照)。

溶融塩熱交換器35では、給水ポンプ24から導かれた給水と溶融塩とを熱交換することによって、給水を所定の過熱度を有する過熱蒸気とする。溶融塩熱交換器35にて生成された過熱蒸気は、溶融塩側過熱蒸気配管29cおよび過熱蒸気配管29aを経て蒸気タービン17へと導かれるようになっている。
熱媒体として用いられる溶融塩(蓄熱手段)は、蓄熱容量が大きいものが選択され、代表的には硝酸ナトリウムと硝酸カリウムとの混合塩が用いられる。溶融塩は、溶融塩熱交換器35、低温タンク37、低温タンク側ポンプ39、第2受熱器9、高温タンク(蓄熱手段)41及び高温タンク側ポンプ43から構成される閉回路を流れるようになっている。

次に、図4を用いて、上述した構成の太陽熱タービン発電装置1の動作について説明する。以下、朝夕のように日射強度が比較的小さい朝夕運転時と、昼間(南中時)のように日射強度が比較的大きい昼間運転時と、日射がない夜間運転時とに分けて説明する。
Next, the operation of the
[朝夕運転時]
朝夕のように太陽高度が低く日射強度が比較的小さい場合には、ヘリオフィールド3a,3b内のヘリオスタット10をほぼ全て用いてガスタービン13が定格運転となるように設計されているので、ほぼ全てのヘリオスタット10を第1受熱器7へと向けて集光する。したがって、この場合、第2受熱器9への集光は行わない。これにより、各ヘリオフィールド3a,3bにおける第1受熱器7にて空気が所望温度(例えば500℃~1500℃)まで加熱され、この高温空気によって各ガスタービン13が駆動される。各ヘリオフィールド3a,3bにおけるガスタービン13が駆動されることにより、各ガスタービン側発電機22にて発電が行われる。
[During morning and evening driving]
When the solar altitude is low and the solar radiation intensity is relatively low, such as in the morning and evening, the
各ヘリオフィールド3a,3bにおけるガスタービン13から排出された排ガスは、各排ガスボイラ15へと導かれ、給水を加熱して過熱蒸気を生成する。各排ガスボイラ15にて生成された過熱蒸気は、合流した後に、蒸気タービン17へと導かれる。導かれた過熱蒸気によって蒸気タービン17が駆動されることにより、蒸気タービン側発電機23にて発電が行われる。
The exhaust gas discharged from the
蒸気タービン17にて膨張した蒸気は、復水器31へと導かれて凝縮液化して復水となり、給水ポンプ24によって再び各排ガスボイラ15へと導かれる。このとき、図4に示されているように、図示しない制御部によって第1給水分岐点27側が選択されている。すなわち、給水ポンプ24から供給される給水は、排ガスボイラ15へと流され、溶融塩熱交換器35へ流されないようになっている。
The steam expanded in the
また、第2受熱器9にて集光が行われないので、第2受熱器9へは溶融塩を積極的に流さない。ただし、溶融塩の凝固による流路の閉塞を回避するため、小流量の溶融塩を流すようにする。したがって、低温タンク側ポンプ39及び高温タンク側ポンプ43は低回転にて駆動される。
Further, since the
[昼間運転時]
昼間のように日射強度が大きい場合には、ヘリオフィールド3a,3b内のヘリオスタット10を全て用いて第1受熱器7へ集光すると、設計よりも過剰な熱が供給されることになり第1受熱器7内の熱交換器が損傷するおそれがある。そこで、本実施形態では、図4に示されているように、定格運転に必要な所望の熱量に対応する数のヘリオスタット10のみを第1受熱器7へと向けて集光する。これは、図示しない制御部によって、各ヘリオスタット10の反射角度を調整することによって行われる。一方、第1受熱器7へ集光しない他のヘリオスタット(余剰ヘリオスタット11)は、第1ヘリオフィールド3aに設けた第2受熱器9へ向けて集光する。これについても、図示しない制御部によって、各ヘリオスタット11の反射角度を調整することによって行われる。なお、余剰ヘリオスタット11としては、各時刻にて任意に選択できるようにしてもよく、また、図1に示したように、各第2ヘリオフィールド3bの第1ヘリオフィールド3a側に位置するヘリオスタットを選択するようにしてもよい。
[During daytime operation]
When the solar radiation intensity is high as in the daytime, if all the
各ヘリオフィールド3a,3bにおけるガスタービン13の運転は上述した朝夕運転時と同様であるのでその説明を省略する。
Since the operation of the
昼間運転時は、朝夕運転時と異なり、蓄熱運転を行う。すなわち、第2受熱器9にて集光して得られた熱エネルギーを溶融塩へと伝達し、高温タンク41内に蓄える。具体的には、低温タンク側ポンプ39を定格回転数にて駆動し、低温タンク37内の溶融塩を第2受熱器9へと導く。第2受熱器9にて加熱された溶融塩は、高温タンク41内へと導かれ貯留される。高温タンク側ポンプ43は小流量を流すように低回転にて駆動され、凝固による流路の閉塞回避および溶融塩熱交換器35の予熱を行う。
このような蓄熱運転を行っている場合には、図4に示されているように、図示しない制御部によって第1給水分岐点27側が選択されている。
During the daytime operation, unlike the morning and evening operation, the heat storage operation is performed. That is, the thermal energy obtained by condensing in the
When such a heat storage operation is performed, as shown in FIG. 4, the first water
[夜間運転時]
夜間のように日射が少ない或いは無い場合には、ガスタービン13を駆動できる熱量を第1受熱器7にて集光することができないので、ガスタービン13を停止する。
一方、蒸気タービン17は、昼間運転時にて蓄熱した溶融塩を用いて駆動する。すなわち、図示しない制御部によって第2給水分岐点33側が選択されるとともに、高温タンク側ポンプ43を定格回転数にて駆動し、高温タンク41内の溶融塩を溶融塩熱交換器35へと導く。このとき、低温タンク側ポンプ39は小流量を流すように低回転にて駆動され、凝固による流路の閉塞を回避する。
溶融塩熱交換器35では、給水ポンプ24から供給された給水と、高温タンク41から供給された溶融塩との熱交換が行われ、過熱蒸気が生成される。生成された過熱蒸気は、溶融塩側過熱蒸気配管29cを通り、蒸気タービン17へと導かれて蒸気タービン17を駆動する。このように、日射のない夜間であっても蒸気タービン17を駆動して発電することができる。

以上説明したように、本実施形態にかかる太陽熱タービン発電装置1によれば、以下の作用効果を奏する。
第1受熱器7に集光される熱量が定格運転時の設計熱量に到達した場合に、第1受熱器7に太陽光を集光していない余剰ヘリオスタット11の反射角度を調整し、第2受熱器9に集光するようにした。これにより、第1受熱器7に集光できずに利用できていなかった太陽熱エネルギーを第2受熱器9にて無駄なく使用することができ、日射の強い南中時付近であっても有効に集熱することができる。
As described above, according to the solar thermal
When the amount of heat concentrated on the
第2受熱器9にて得られた熱を、溶融塩を貯留する高温タンク41にて蓄熱することとした。これにより、第2受熱器9にて集光している昼間運転時は蓄熱しておき、日射がない夜間に蓄熱した高温タンク41内の溶融塩を用いて蒸気タービン17にて発電することができる。したがって、日射の強弱や有無にかかわりなく高い稼働率を実現することができる。
Suppose that the heat obtained in the
第1ヘリオフィールド3aにのみ第1受熱器7に加えて第2受熱器9を設置し、この第1ヘリオフィールド3aを取り囲む第2ヘリオフィールド3bには第2受熱器9を設けずに第1受熱器7のみを設けることとした。これにより、余剰ヘリオスタット11から反射された太陽光は、中央に位置する第1ヘリオフィールド3aに設けられた第2受熱器9に総合して集められる。したがって、第2受熱器9における受熱量が増大し、効率的に第2受熱器9における受熱がより有効に行われることとなる。
また、第2ヘリオフィールド3bは、第1ヘリオフィールド3aを取り囲むように配置されているので、第2ヘリオフィールド3bの余剰ヘリオスタット11を第1ヘリオフィールド3aの第2受熱器9に向けることが容易となる。
