Abstract |
|
This research work is focused on the effective utilization of Solar Thermal Power Plant (STPP). The concept is to operate solar thermal plant along with the hydro power plant. It is proposed in this research work that it will lead to improvement in overall efficiency of the system. The other significant advantages are also discussed in detail. The favourable location thought of for this concept is a dam site. There are two reasons for selecting this location. The first one is that we can have advantage of existing head and the installed setup of hydro power plant. Second reason is that we can use baron land including hills and river banks to establish the solar thermal plant which will reduce the initial cost of the plant. The technical details including the parameters, dimensions, available power generation, overall efficiency of the suggested scheme etc. have been presented in detail. |
