Procedure for the operation of a solar thermal power plant and solar thermal power plant that operates according to said procedure

摘要

A method for operating a solar thermal power plant comprising multiple solar radiation receivers operated using a molten salt as the heat transfer medium, wherein each solar radiation receiver comprises a reflector device and an absorber tube, includes: preheating of the absorber tubes, in the state in which said tubes are empty of the molten salt, to a temperature T by concentrating solar radiation on the absorber tubes by means of the reflector devices, wherein the temperature T is greater than or equal to the melting temperature of the sa after reaching the temperature T: introduction of the molten salt into the absorber tubes and recirculated conduction of the molten salt through the absorber tubes while simultaneously repositioning the reflector devices depending on the position of the sun; on ending the operation: release of the molten salt out of the absorber tubes.
