SOLAR TOWER POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC F24S30/00 H02S10/30 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power engineering, particularly, to renewable energy sources based on solar tower power plants (solar thermal power plants), which realize a thermodynamic cycle, for example, Rankine or Stirling. In a solar tower power plant comprising a thermodynamic cycle unit, e.g. Rankine or Stirling, with a cycle heater and mirror-heliostats configured to azimuthally and zenithal track the Sun using the drives, and reflection of sun rays on a heater located on top of a tower of a solar tower power plant, and a network of consumers, mirror-heliostats are equipped with a drive control unit, as well as solar photoelectric panels, fixed attached along the perimeter to each mirror-heliostat, or photoelectric panels made fixed and arranged, for example, between adjacent mirrors-heliostats, at that inputs of azimuthal drive and zenithal tracking drive of each mirror-heliostat are connected to outputs of drive control unit, first input of which is connected to common output circuit of photovoltaic panels, and second input is connected to network of consumers.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of solar tower power plants.
