PURPOSE: A solar power generation system using air as a thermal medium is provided to implement five operating modes of thermal energy storing, thermal energy storing and generation, generation, generation and regeneration which are required for the system, and to reduce installation and maintenance cost according to the simplification of the system. CONSTITUTION: A solar power generation system using air as a thermal medium comprises a heliostat(210), a solar receiver(220), a thermal storage(230), a steam generator(240), a steam turbine(250), and a generator(260). The heliostat reflects solar thermal energy to the solar receiver. The solar receiver receives a collected heat from the heliostat, and absorbs the thermal energy. The thermal storage transfers the absorbed thermal energy of the solar receiver through a pipe and stores it. The steam generator generates steam using a heated air which is transferred from the solar receiver or the thermal storage through the pipe. The steam turbine actuates the rotary shaft of the generator using the steam generated from the steam generator. The generator generates electricity by the rotation of the steam turbine. |
