Solar/Air Turbine Generator System

摘要

The invention provides a solar/air turbine generator system that reduces construction and power generating costs and does not require the use of fossil fuel.;A solar/air turbine generator system comprises: a compressor for drawing in and compressing air; a solar receiver for heating the air compressed by the compressor with the use of solar heat collected by a solar collector; an air turbine for driving the compressor and a generator by receiving the compressed air heated by the solar receiver; a regenerative heat exchanger, located between the compressor and the solar receiver, for heating the air compressed by the compressor using the exhaust of the air turbine as a heating medium; and a distribution device, located between the compressor and the regenerative heat exchanger, for distributing the compressed air to the side of the regenerative heat exchanger and to a bypass side, the bypass side being the inlet side of the air turbine. The solar/air turbine generator system further includes a control device for maintaining the air temperature at the inlet of the air turbine at a constant value by adjusting the flow rate of the air turbine exhaust that flows into the regenerative heat exchanger as a heating medium.
