Field of the Invention
The present invention is comprised within the field of solar energy, specifically refers to the solar linear down-beam optical systems, and more specifically to the particle energy collection means of these systems.
State of the art
Solar energy as a renewable source has gained the attention of the industry in recent years and has experienced a high degree of development due to innovations and improvements in this field. Especially, the generation of solar energy by concentration (CSP) using alternative heat transfer fluids, such as dense gas-particle suspensions (DPS), is one of the most prominent and innovative technologies in relation to transfer and storage of energy
On the one hand, in esp technologies, direct solar radiation is usually reflected by a field of heliostats to an upper receiver, which is placed on top of a tower. This upper receiver transfers the solar radiation to a working fluid, which is pumped from the bottom to the top of the tower and then returned to a tank placed at the bottom. This so-called up beam technology has several drawbacks. In addition to the high costs due to the continuous pumping of the working fluid to the top of the tower, the high thermal stresses produced in the receiver due to non-uniform solar energy radiation make its optimal operation difficult and can cause damage to the receiver .
Some of these problems can be resolved by
called down beam optical towers, which are designed following a quadratic curve and can redirect solar radiation to a ground receiver, so there will be no need to pump the working fluid to the top of the tower, and radiation from More uniform solar energy on the receiver will avoid high thermal stresses, since placing the receiver at ground level provides a homogeneous distribution of energy. Optical down-beam towers concentrate the energy reflected by hundreds of heliostats at one point, the lower focus point, where the ground receiver is placed. A power of up to 3000 kW / m2 can be concentrated in the upper part of the ground receiver, which has led to the design of combustion chambers, gasifiers and solar-powered units of thermal storage.
On the other hand, the potential of the DPS that acts as an energy recipient has been widely recognized among the academic community. In these systems, a suitable mixture between the particle phase and the gas phase produces a dense phase, with high heat and mass transfer coefficients. These properties can be used to absorb and / or store solar radiation both in the dense phase and in the gas phase. As a consequence, high temperatures can be obtained, improving the overall efficiency of the system. Usually, the transfer of solar energy to the DPS has been done by intercepting solar radiation by an outer wall and, therefore, the energy transferred to the particles is limited by the low heat transfer coefficient between the wall and the suspension .
Some systems have been proposed that combine a down beam tower reflector with a ground receiver to process solar energy. The applications range from gasification of carbonaceous materials to energy storage in molten salt receivers. See, for example, documents US4038557, US4455153, US2012 / 0186251A1 ° GB2073869A. However, these strategies focus the reflected solar flow at a single point below the descending beam system, in which the ground receiver is placed. Therefore, these approaches are limited to a single point concentration and none of these inventions considers the use of linear reflectors to distribute the solar flux reflected on a linear absorber.
Description of the invention
Briefly, the invention relates to a down-beam optical system comprising a linear particle receiver for storing the energy received from the sun. In preferred embodiments, the linear heliostats reflect the solar flux radiation to the down-beam optical system. In addition, the receiver configuration helps to increase the transfer of energy to both the particles and the upward flow of the gas.
The present invention relates to a down-beam optical system that has a heliostat field, which concentrates solar radiation in a tower reflector configured to redirect solar radiation to a ground-gas receiver placed under the tower reflector. . This ground gas-particle receiver is configured for the horizontal flow of a mixture of gas and particles, or a dense gas-particle suspension (DPS), which receives solar radiation from down-beam optics.
The invention provides a gas-particle receiver in which the falling beam tower reflector and the receiver are linear and parallel. Several lines of linear heliostats can be assembled to concentrate solar radiation on a down beam reflector tower. Preferably, the heliostat lines will be of the Fresnel type, although other types of reflectors may be used. In addition, said heliostats are arranged in a plurality of parallel rows with respect to the tower reflector and the gas-particle receiver.
In systems known from the prior art, heliostats are arranged in concentric circles around the tower reflector, since in such systems the receiver is a focus point below the tower reflector. On the contrary, in the system of the present invention, the heliostats are arranged in parallel rows with respect to the tower reflector and the receiver, placed on both sides thereof, thereby achieving the most efficient reflection of solar radiation at along the entire length of the linear tower reflector.
Therefore, several rows of heliostats can be assembled to concentrate solar radiation on a down beam tower reflector. This tower reflector is the first concentrator, it can be designed according to a quadratic curve, specifically hyperbolic or elliptic curves, although current technical knowledge prefers hyperbolic design, and intercepts solar radiation reflected by heliostats. The ground gas-particle receiver intercepts concentrated solar radiation
5 coming from the top of it.
According to a specific embodiment of the invention, the ground-particle gas receiver of the down-beam optical system absorbs concentrated solar flux radiation from the top of the enclosure through a window
10 transparent to solar radiation. Another embodiment shows an external enclosure with a plurality of windows that act as an isolation barrier. Said enclosure may be in low pressure conditions. Below the outer enclosure, the gas-particle soil receiver has a plurality of compartments connected in series, through which the mixture of gas and particles flows absorbing the
15 solar radiation
Especially, each part of the gas receiver-soil particles comprises two containers, which are an outer container and an inner container, which provide the outer walls and the inner walls. These interior walls
20 form an interior enclosure. The outer container allows the exit and entry of granular material and the proper orientation of the flowing gas. The outer vessel also contains the upper radiation opening, the windows mentioned above, and the inner vessel is the section in which the mixture of gas and granular material can behave as a fluidized or fixed bed depending on the
25 gas velocity and particle properties. The inner container comprises a gas distributor, which is a distributor plate configured to support the deposited particles, allowing the flow of gas through them.
In this way, the plurality of compartments connected in series acts
30 as an integrated cavity that encloses the absorption of radiation from the upper part, providing horizontal transport of the particles and the upward flow of the gas. The interior walls divide the compartments into several adjacent compartments, each of which supports a bed of particles. In this way, the consecutive stages of the passage of gas through the beds
35 increase solar energy absorbed by both gas and particles.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the floor particle gas receiver has a double outer wall. This double wall may comprise an insulating barrier inside, which will preferably be a vacuum barrier. By means of this double wall the gas receiver-soil particles reduces heat losses to the environment and optimizes the energy transferred by the radiation.
During operation, the flow of gas pumped in the dense phase may vary. Depending on this mass flow, you can change the dynamic behavior of the dense suspension, improving the absorption of energy in the gas flow or in the particles. In addition, the mass flow of the particles, the transverse dimensions of the compartments, the type of particles, the type of distribution, and the geometric shape of the compartment can affect the solar energy absorbed by the dense gas-particle suspension.
The system of the present invention comprising a ground level gasparticle receptor overcomes several problems of prior art systems, such as the distribution of non-homogeneous energy in the CSP towers and the low heat transfer coefficients shown by the Conventional dense gas-particle suspensions. The arrangement of consecutive compartments can homogenize the temperature of the receiver, making the flexible operation of the absorption system feasible and increasing the thermal efficiency.
Therefore, the present invention is an alternative system for absorbing solar energy through the combination of a linear descending beam tower coupled with a linear field of heliostats to homogeneously redirect the energy to a DPS receiver.
The features, functions and advantages that have been set forth can be achieved independently in various embodiments or can be combined in other embodiments, the further details of which can be seen with reference to the following description and drawings.
