Investigation into the Coupling of Micro Gas Turbines with CSP Technology: OMSoP Project

摘要: Abstract Solar power generation has been gaining worldwide increasing interest by virtue of its ability to meet both the growing energy needs and concerns on carbon dioxide emissions. One most promising Concentrated Power (CSP) technologies under development uses a parabolic dish concentrate solar into focal point, raising thetemperature working fluid which is then used in thermodynamic cycle generate electricity. In OMSoP project, funded European Commission, it proposed use Brayton form micro-gas turbine (MGT), replaces more conventional Stirling engine,with aim ratio electric generated collected improving operability relation short time fluctuations. To achieve these objectives, research will be conducted all aspects system leading full scale demonstrative plant located at ENEA Casaccia Research Centre.The present work deals with activities carried out so far ENEA, principally involved experimental characterization component, integration complete system, terms modelling realization.
