Abstract

A bstract : Solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) systems are the present worldwide trends in utilizing solar energy for electricity generation. Solar energy produced from photovoltaic cells (PV) is considered the main common technology used due to its low capital cost; however, the relatively low efficiency of PV cells has spotlighted development and research on thermal engine applications using concentrated solar power. The efficiency of concentrated solar power is greater than that of PV and considering the solar potential for Sudan. Therefore, this study has been performed in an attempt to draw attention to the utilization of CSP in Sudan since the share of CSP is insi-gnificant in comparison with PV, besides the suitability of CSP applications to Sudan’s hot climate and the high solar energy resource, the study presents a design model of 1 MW parabolic trough collectors (PTC) using the Rankine cycle with thermal energy storage (TES) in Sudan, by adopting reference values of the Gurgaon PTC power plant in India. The design of a 1 MW Concentrated Solar thermal power plant using parabolic trough collectors (PTC) and thermal energy storage is proposed. The simulation was performed for a site receiving an annual direct normal irradiance (DNI) of 1915 kWh/m 2 , near Khartoum. The results showed that the plant can produce between nearly 0.6 to 1 MWh during the year, and around 0.9 MWh when it encompasses thermal energy storage with an average thermal efficiency of 24%. These results of the PTC Power plant encourage further investigation and the development of CSP technologies for generation in

TRNSYS软件在苏丹1MW抛物面槽集中太阳能发电厂模型设计中的应用

摘要：太阳能光伏（PV）和聚光太阳能发电（CSP）系统是目前世界范围内利用太阳能发电的趋势。由光伏电池生产的太阳能由于其低资本成本而被认为是主要的常用技术；然而，光伏电池相对较低的效率已经成为利用集中太阳能的热力发动机应用的发展和研究热点。考虑到苏丹的太阳能潜力，集中太阳能发电的效率高于光伏发电。因此，本研究试图引起人们对苏丹CSP利用率的关注，因为与光伏相比，CSP的份额并不显著，除了CSP应用适合苏丹炎热的气候和高太阳能资源之外，本研究采用印度古尔冈PTC发电厂的参考值，提出了一个在苏丹使用带热能储存（TES）的兰金循环的1MW抛物面槽式集热器（PTC）的设计模型。提出了采用抛物面槽集热器（PTC）和热能储存的1MW集中太阳能热电厂的设计方案。对喀土穆附近一个年直接法向辐照度（DNI）为1915 kWh/m2的地点进行了模拟。结果表明，该工厂一年中可生产近0.6至1兆瓦时的电能，当它包括平均热效率为24%的热能储存时，可生产约0.9兆瓦时。PTC发电厂的这些结果鼓励了对CSP发电技术的进一步研究和发展
