SOLAR AEROBARIC THERMAL POWER PLANT WITH SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRIC GENERATING SOURCES Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F24J2/42 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: at solar aerobaric thermal power plants (SAB TPP) according to invention a number of solar energy components is used simultaneously: energy of direct and reflected solar beams entering high-temperature solar heat-converting devices, where heated heat-carrier flows; natural wing energy including the energy concentrated in inlet openings of wind air intake channel; energy of phase water conversions in various processes; etc. Natural wind flow and ambient air by means of wind-air intake channel shutters form the base of central energy air flow with rotational-progressive swirling motion path, which makes wind turbine generator being an electric power source in its primary production circuit rotate. Hot heat-carrier moves from high-temperature solar heat-converting devices to heat exchanging or heat transferring elements equipped with aerodynamic devices, by means of which additional energy saturation of central air flow is performed. Hot heat-carrier also flows to heat-accumulating material arranged in heat-insulated heat accumulator, by virtue of which heat energy is accumulated therein during sunny weather periods. At that internal medium of heat accumulator is connected thermodynamically with a tube header which provides the secondary electric power generation circuit with heat energy and consists of steam turbine with electric generator. Volatile fluid the steam of which brings turbine into rotation is supplied to that tube header. After leaving the turbine the exhaust steam is condensed in a cooler, and heat condensation energy enters the central energy air flow through a heat converter.

EFFECT: improving SAB TPP competitive capability relative to heat-electric generating plants, nuclear power plants and wind-driven electric plants, and improving reliability.
