4. INTRODUCTION
• Solar thermal power generation system
use mirrors to collect sunlight and
produce steam by solar heat to drive
turbines for generating power
6. TYPES OF SOLAR POWER GENERATIONS
Photovoltaic (pv) Concentrating solar thermal (CST)
• Generate electricity indirectly.• Converts sunlight directly into
Electricity.
7. BASIC WORKING PRINCIPLE
• Reflection and concentration of sunlight
• Conversion of it into heat energy.
• Generation of electricity.
8. THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE (TES)
There are 3 types of systems belonging to this category. They are
• Two tank direct system.
• Two tank indirect system.
• Single tank thermohaline system
9. TWO TANK DIRECT SYSTEM
• Solar thermal is stored right in the same heat
transfer fluid that collected it.
10. TWO TANK INDIRECT SYSTEM
• It functions same as direct system except it works
with different types of heat-transfer fluids.
12. TYPES OF SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEMS
Passive type
• It doesn’t require any equipment.
• Ex: Thermal chimneys
Active type
• It requires some way to absorb ans collect solar
radiation and then store it.
• Ex: solar thermal power plants.
13. TYPES OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANTS
• A) PARABOLIC THROUGH SYSTEM
• B) COMPACT LINEAR FRESNAL REFLECTION
• C) SOLAR DISH/ENGINE SYSTEM
• D) SOLAR POWER TOWER SYSTEMS
18. ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY
• No fuel cost
• Predictable,24/7 power
• No pollution and Global warming effects
• Using existing industrial base
19. DISADVANTAGES OF SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY
• High cost
• Ecological and cultural issues
• Limited locations and size limitations
• Long gestation time leading to cost overcomes
21. CONCLUSION
By using solar thermal power,it may be capable of sourcing electricity to more than 100 million
people in the next 20 years.
