<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solar thermal power generation system continuously operated without being affected by a reduction in the amount of solar radiation. <P>SOLUTION: This solar thermal power generation system includes: a heliostat 12 reflecting solar light S; a heat receiver 116 receiving heat by incidence of the solar light S reflected by the heliostat 12; a plurality of gas turbines 122 each having a compressor 121 compressing air and supplying the compressed air to the heat receiver 116 and a turbine 114 rotatively driven by being supplied with the air received by the heat receiver 116; a generator 115 driven by the turbine 114 to generate electricity; an actinometer acquiring information on the amount of solar radiation of the solar light S; and a control means determining the number of gas turbines to be driven in order to reduce the number thereof in association with the reduction in the amount of solar radiation based on the amount of solar radiation acquired by the actinometer, and selectively driving the plurality of gas turbines 122. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
