Abstract
This paper presents a solar power tower generation system consisting of a supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle
a free-falling particle receiver
and a particle dual-tank thermal storage system. The objective is to achieve the maximum efficiency and the minimum levelized cost of electricity. Thermodynamics and economic models are developed
and key parameters of each subsystem
including the turbine inlet temperature
receiver aperture size
and temperature difference of thermal storage system
are analyzed. The results show that the highest overall efficiency
reaching 25.61%
is achieved when the turbine inlet temperature is 680 ℃
the receiver aperture size is 22 m ×22 m
and the temperature difference is 231 ℃. However
the lowest levelized cost of electricity
which is 0.7726 yuan/kWh
is attained when the turbine inlet temperature is 620 ℃
the receiver aperture size is 18 m ×18 m
and the thermal storage utilization temperature difference is 331 ℃.
