The heat exchange tubes of solar thermal power generation work in molten salt environment with periodic temperature change. In order to reveal the tensile creep behavior of 12Cr1MoV pipeline steel under high-temperature alkali metal salt environment, the tensile creep behavior of 12Cr1MoV alloy under different applied load and reaction temperature in high-temperature alkali metal chloride salt environment was studied. The results show that the deformation of 12Cr1MoV alloy in 600°C, NaCl-35%KCl mixed salt environment is mainly controlled by diffusion creep; with the increase of stress, the creep life of 12Cr1MoV alloy decreases. The creep fracture mechanism of 12Cr1MoV alloy in 600°C, NaCl-35%KCl mixed salt environment is intergranular ductile fracture; the increase of temperature will enhance the activation and oxidation of the chlorine atoms, thereby accelerating the corrosion of the base metal and increasing the spheroidization speed of the pearlite matrix, and the creep deformation rate of the alloy increases with increasing temperature.

Solar Thermal Power Generation

Of all the technologies being developed for solar thermal power generation, central receiver systems (CRSs) are able to work at the highest temperatures and to achieve higher efficiencies in electricity production. The combination of this concept and the choice of molten salts as the heat transfer fluid, in both the receiver and heat storage, enables solar collection to be decoupled from electricity generation better than water∕steam systems, yielding high capacity factors with solar-only or low hybridization ratios. These advantages, along with the benefits of Spanish legislation on solar energy, moved SENER to promote the 17MWe Solar TRES plant. It will be the first commercial CRS plant with molten-salt storage and will help consolidate this technology for future higher-capacity plants. This paper describes the basic concept developed in this demonstration project, reviewing the experience accumulated in the previous Solar TWO project, and present design innovations, as a consequence of the development work performed by SENER and CIEMAT and of the technical conditions imposed by Spanish legislation on solar thermal power generation.

The thermal storage system is an essential part of the trough solar thermal power generation system. Due to the strong randomness, intermittency, and volatility of solar energy resources, to further improve the system?s overall reliability to meet the needs of variable operating conditions, the paper optimizes the control strategy of the trough solar heat storage system. Taking the molten salt heat storage medium in the oil/salt heat exchanger, the core equipment of the heat storage system, as the critical research object, the article adopts proportional, integral, and differential (PID) control theories. It builds the system in the MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment mathematical model. We use the critical proportionality method to determine many critical parameters in the control system, tune the proportional coefficient, integral time, and other physical quantities in the PID controller, and analyze the proportional control, proportional-integral control, PID controls the respective dynamic response characteristics of these three different control systems. The simulation and comparative analysis results show that: compared with the other two control methods, PID control can effectively weaken the heat storage system oscillation caused by external disturbance, its dynamic response speed is faster, the adjustment time is shorter, and it can meet the requirements of operational stability. The paper adopts PID control, which reduces the control difficulty of the trough solar heat storage system and improves the adaptability to changes in external meteorological resources. The research results have particular guiding significance at the academic and engineering levels.

In the smart grid context, the article combines SEGS-VI solar thermal power station parameters to establish a solar thermal power generation system model. The thesis is based on the First and Second laws of thermodynamics. It uses the white box model analysis method of the energy system to calculate the solar thermal power generation system-concentrating and collecting subsystem, heat exchange subsystem, and power subsystem to obtain the subsystems dissipation of each process. Finally, the article uses the white box model analysis of the total energy system to treat the subsystems as white boxes, and connects them to form a white box network, makes a reasonable evaluation of the energy consumption status of the total energy system, and finds the weak links in the energy use process of the system. Provide a basis for system energy saving.
