Gas turbine plant, heat receiver, power generating device, and sunlight collecting system associated with solar thermal electric generation system

摘要

A gas turbine plant associated with a solar thermal electric generation system comprises a heat receiver for receiving the heat from the sun, a gas turbine provided with a compressor and a turbine for operating the fluid compressed by the compressor and heated by the heat receiver as working fluid, a temperature sensor for detecting the heat from the sun, an auxiliary drive device which is driven in response to the temperature of the heat detected by the temperature sensor and activates the gas turbine, and a generator for converting the kinetic energy produced by the rotation of the turbine into electrical energy.
