Basics solar thermal power plant simulation full#
Sun, control unit, solar field (SF), Thermal energy storage (TES) and power block (PB).įig. 1 Plant model built using Modelon’s Thermal Power Library®. The summer day scenario results agreed with published performance of the plant.įig. The model results have been successfully validated against the reference plant key steady-state data.ĭynamic response of the power block has shown expected behavior, and transient durations were comparable with settling times predicted in literature.įurthermore, the performance of the plant has been evaluated during a typical summer day including effects such as variation of solar irradiance, charging and discharging the heat storage system, and dumping excess heat in the solar field. In addition, a decentralized control configuration has been developed. The models are developed in a modular, flexible structure with a well-defined interface to easily replace and test modules of various detail and complexity.įigure 1 shows the model, include turbine island, steam generator, solar field and thermal energy storage system.
The highlighted work focuses on dynamic models for analyzing and evaluating energy storage concepts and its interaction with the solar field and the power block.Ī physical model of a 50 MW CSP plant has been implemented using Modelon’s Thermal Power Library® – thermal solar applications are supported in version 1.13 of the library. Modelon is glad to announce the publication of a new article for the field of solar power modeling and simulation with Modelica – Dynamic modeling of parabolic trough solar thermal power plant with thermal storage using Modelica.Ĭoncentrating solar power (CSP) technology with thermal energy storage is an emerging renewable energy technology. New publication interesting for solar power modeling and simulation
