Innovativer solar radiation receiver for solar tower plants
In solar tower power plants, up to several 10,000 movable solar mirrors reflect sunlight to a target surface at the top of the tower. There, the concentrated sunlight hits a receiver and heats a heat transfer medium that flows through the receiver. The solar power plant uses this heat to produce steam, which drives a turbine to generate electricity. While steam was still used as the heat transfer medium in the first tower power plants, new power plants rely primarily on molten salts. These allow high process temperatures of up to 565°C and enable cost-effective storage in large tanks.
