MANAGEABLE HYBRID PLANT USING PHOTOVOLTAIC AND SOLAR THERMAL TECHNOLOGY AND ASSOCIATED OPERATING METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a manageable hybrid plant that uses photovoltaic and solar thermal technology and to the associated operating method. According to the invention, the hybrid plant comprises three generation levels, namely: level 1 (1), photovoltaic generation (42), which covers the plant's own consumption; level 2 (2), generation of the solar thermal plant (44) and another photovoltaic generation part (45), which covers the consumption of the auxiliary services of the solar thermal plant (43); and level 3 (3), generation of the other photovoltaic production area (46), which improves the total production curve. The total power generated by the hybrid plant and discharged to the network (47) is the sum of the generation of the three levels. The photovoltaic modules of the invention are located: on the north or south face of the tower, not occupied by the cavity; in the zone surrounding the solar collectors of the tower; on the roofs of the plant; on the rear part of the heliostats; in the area next to the tower plant.
