Introduction to Photothermal Power Generation

Solar Thermal Electricity (STE), also known as Concentrating Solar Power (CSP), or a new solar energy utilization method. It uses a large number of mirrors to collect direct sunlight from the sun in a focused manner, heats and stores the working medium, and then uses the high-temperature working medium to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam to drive the turbo-generator set to generate electricity. Due to the existence of large-scale heat storage systems, solar thermal power generation can achieve continuous, stable and dispatchable high-quality power output, so it has broad development prospects. Among various forms of photovoltaic power generation technologies, tower molten salt energy storage photovoltaic power generation has become the most mainstream photovoltaic power generation technology route due to its high system efficiency and large cost reduction space.

Advantages of solar thermal power generation

Green, clean and pollution-free

Photothermal power generation is a truly green and clean renewable energy source that can completely get rid of dependence on fossil energy and fundamentally solve the energy problems, air pollution problems, and climate change problems faced by human society.

Continuous, stable and dispatchable

Compared with traditional intermittent renewable energy such as photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation is a grid-friendly power supply. Based on large-scale heat storage systems, solar thermal power generation can provide continuous, stable, and dispatchable high-quality power output, and can assume the role of basic loads and peak shaving loads in the power system, thereby achieving the goal of a high proportion of renewable energy.

Strong long-term economics

At present, solar thermal power generation is still in the early stage of industrial development. With the expansion of the industrial scale, the maturity of the industrial chain and technological progress, there is huge room for decline in its power generation costs, and affordable Internet access can be achieved in the long run.

Strong industrial driving force

Photothermal power generation can absorb a large amount of excess capacity in cement, steel, glass, chemical, machinery and other industries, and promote the development of high-end equipment, automation, software and other industries.
