Types of Solar Thermal Power Plants
- There are various types of solar thermal plant from small size to large size and with Tow medium and high temperatures obtained from solar radiations.
Following solar plants are briefly explained with their block diagrams
- Low, temperature solar power plant using array of flat collector (temperatures 60° to 100°C).
- Solar pond electric plant using brine solution In pond.
- Medium temperature solar power plant using water to produce steam and using concentrating collectors (temperatures 250° to 400°C).
- High temperature solar power plant central tower using heliostats (temperatures 600 to 700°C).
