Solar current generation involves extracting heat with solar absorbers or collectors, generating current with closed Rankine process using e.g. propane, cooling with cold sea water

摘要

The method involves extracting heat by solar absorbers or collectors, generating current with a closed Rankine process using propane, ammonia or another working medium with similar vapor pressure characteristics or an open steam turbine process and cooling with cold sea water. The method can be combined with a thermal sea water desalination plant using the same heating circuit at low temperatures and the same cooling circuit at high temperatures.
