摘要

The device (10) has a power conversion unit (12) that is provided for converting solar energy into electrical energy. A beam element (14) is provided for concentrating solar radiation and for providing the concentrated solar radiation to the energy conversion device. The energy conversion device is provided with a heater (22) for heating a working medium of an organic Rankine cycle using the concentrated solar radiation, and is driven by the heated working fluid turbine (28). The turbine is provided with a driven generator (32) for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. An independent claim is included for a method for converting solar energy into electrical energy using energy conversion device.
