A solar thermal power system 100 includes a solar receiver 110 and a thermal energy storage arrangement 120 including thermal energy storage fluid to be circulated through the solar receiver 110 to store thermal energy. The system 100 includes a multistage steam turbine 130 operable on variable pressure steam generated by primary and secondary arrangements 140, 150, by utilizing the fluid. The primary arrangement 140 generates and supplies a high pressure steam to a high pressure turbine inlet 132a, and exits from a high pressure turbine outlet 132b. The secondary arrangement 150 having a reheat assembly 158, to generate an intermediate pressure steam from the fluid, received from the storage arrangement 120 through the reheat assembly 158. The intermediate pressure steam and released steam from a high pressure turbine outlet 132b are mixed and reheated in the reheat assembly 158 to be supplied to an intermediate pressure turbine inlet 134a. |
