6 FAQs about [Solar thermal power station molten salt pump]

What is molten salt storage in concentrating solar power plants?

At the end of 2019 the worldwide power generation capacity from molten salt storage in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants was 21 GWh el. This article gives an overview of molten salt storage in CSP and new potential fields for decarbonization such as industrial processes, conventional power plants and electrical energy storage.

How molten salt technology is affecting solar power plants?

Improved molten salt technology is increasing the efficiency and storage capacity of solar power plants while reducing solar thermal energy costs. Molten salt is used as a heat transfer fluid (HTF) and thermal energy storage (TES) in solar power plants.

How do molten salt pumps work?

Molten salt circulation pumps circulate the primary heat transfer fluid (molten salt) through the solar receiver to heat it up and to either feed the solar steam generator, store the energy during the high sun radiation hours (cold salt pumps), or deliver it after the sunset (hot salt pumps).

What is thermal energy storage in molten salt SPT plant?

In a molten salt SPT plant with thermal energy storage, the thermal energy storage system isolates the heat collection system from the conventional system, so the heat collection system, the SGS and the power generation system are relatively independent. In the discussion part, the receiver and the conventional system are analyzed separately.

How does a molten salt SPT station work?

In the molten salt SPT station, the molten salt stored in the cold salt tank is transported to the receiver through the molten salt pump as the heat transfer medium, heated to 565 °C, and then sent to the hot salt tank for storage.

Can molten salt storage be used as a peaking power plant?

Drost proposed a coal fired peaking power plant using molten salt storage in 1990 112. Conventional power plant operation with a higher flexibility using TES was examined in research projects (e.g., BMWi funded projects FleGs 0327882 and FLEXI-TES 03ET7055).
