According to the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the solar thermal power generation laboratory of the Institute has successfully developed the world's first solar thermal power plant simulator for five years. It can simulate the entire process of solar thermal power plant operation.
Industry experts said that the successful development of a solar thermal power plant simulator and the establishment of a simulation system will help promote the commercialization of solar thermal power generation in China. It will be used in solar power plant program development, process optimization, construction drawing design, and power station operator training. Important role.
It is reported that the solar thermal power station simulator consists of a computer and simulation software package. The simulation software includes the STAR-90 simulation platform, the power station operation operator interface and the model software. The model software includes the spotlight model and the heat sink system model. Energy storage system model and conventional power plant model. At the same time, each model is connected through quality, energy, and information flow to form a full-power system model.
The world's first solar thermal power station simulator system developed by the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with the background of the Badaling Solar Thermal Power Experimental Power Station, heliostat field, superheater, multi-phase heat storage, auxiliary boiler, and water supply system The modeling and simulation studies were conducted with the plant electrical and thermal controls to achieve full-process and multi-operation operation. In addition, it can also load parabolic trough collector modules, air heat sink modules, and various heat storage modules to create trough power plant simulators and solar circulatory system simulators.
Under the support of the National High-Tech Research and Development Program (863 Program), the National Key Basic Research and Development Program (973 Program) and the Knowledge Innovation Project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the solar thermal power station simulator of the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences began its project in 2006, In the study of the non-steady-state “light-heat-work†conversion process, Chinese researchers fully relied on independent innovation to complete the subroutine library for calculating the physical properties of materials, the algorithm library for special models of solar thermal power generation, special software, and equipment model elements. Design and system model building and other research work.
