摘要 |
The invention relates to a steam Rankine cycle solar plant (10) and a method of operating thereof. The plant (10) comprises a high-pressure steam turbine (20) with an inlet (22), an intermediate stage (24) that is downstream of a first stage, and an outlet (26). A lower-pressure steam turbine (30) with an inlet (32) is fluidly connected to the outlet (26) of the high-pressure steam turbine (20). The plant (10) further comprises a focal point solar concentrator (40) that is configured and located to superheat steam, by either direct or indirect means, as it is fed to the high-pressure steam turbine (20), and a first linear solar concentrator (42) that is configured and located to reheat steam from the high-pressure steam turbine (20) as it is fed to the lower-pressure steam turbine (30). |
