To support the development of solar thermal energy, our company has independently developed a solar thermal steam turbine with the following features: easy to start up without preheating; simple operation, ready to use in 1 minute; labor-saving, only requires regular checks and the ability to turn valves and buttons; easy and convenient maintenance, with minor repairs every 3 years and major repairs every 5 years; automatic grid connection without manual intervention, saving time and effort; efficiency comparable to international leading brands; easy installation and commissioning, with simple experimental unit configurations at low cost; long-term use units feature a human-machine interface touch screen displaying parameters such as power generation, voltage, frequency, cumulative power generation, etc.; stable and mature connections with minimal failure points.
Currently, with the diminishing supply of fossil fuels like coal and oil, there's an increasing reliance and demand for renewable energy in human civilization. This is leading to greater attention being paid to the photothermal industry, as global photothermal power generation is entering a period of rapid development.
Since the 1990s, major solar power nations globally have started establishing demonstration facilities and developing solar thermal technology. By the end of 2009, nearly 1.3GW of projects were under construction, with 12.6GW of project engineering set to be announced for start before 2014, spanning regions rich in solar resources such as Asia, Europe, and North Africa. It is expected that by 2015, the global scale of solar thermal power projects will exceed 17GW.
Solar thermal power generation has become a hot spot for the development of renewable energy globally. As early as the 1980s, more than 20 solar thermal power plants with capacities over 500 kilowatts were built internationally, in various forms. Among them, the Dish Solar Thermal Power Plant No. 1 and No. 2 in California, USA, reached 850 megawatts and 750 megawatts respectively, marking the beginning of commercial operations for solar thermal power generation.
Our country started late, and on June 1, 2007, the first 70-kilowatt solar tower thermal power generation system in China was approved and accepted in Nanjing. On July 1, 2010, construction of Asia's first solar tower thermal power station began in Yanqing, Beijing.
