SOLAR POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F24J2/54 H02S10/00 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to solar power engineering, namely to designs of solar power plants with a Sun tracking photoelectric sensor and systems of azimuthal and zenithal turns of the plane of the solar power plant. The power plant includes a solar energy receiving plane, a control system of drives of azimuthal and zenithal turns of the plane and its turn from west to east, shafts of drives and a Sun tracking system. The tracking system includes two photovoltaic modules fixed on an external platform that is installed parallel to the plane of the power plant, which receives solar energy. The first photovoltaic module represents a sensor of the Sun position as to azimuth, in the design of which there arranged are two Sun tracking photocells and a command photocell of the turn of the plane of the solar power plant, which receives solar energy, from west to east. The second photovoltaic module represents a sensor of the Sun position as to zenith, which includes two Sun tracking photocells. The design of each photovoltaic module includes a mounting platform, on the upper side of which two photocells are arranged, which are separated with a partition wall serving in its turn as a divider of illumination directions of the latter and a support for attachment of a mirror cylinder. The command photocell of the turn of the power plant plane from west to east is located on the lower side of the mounting platform of the photovoltaic module tracking the Sun position as to azimuth.

EFFECT: use of this invention provides for high tracking accuracy as to azimuth and zenith of the Sun position and improved operating reliability of a power plant.
