To accommodate the development of the solar thermal industry, our company has independently developed a steam turbine for solar thermal use, featuring: easy start-up, no need for warm-up; simple operation, ready to run in 1 minute; labor-saving, only requires regular checks, and the ability to operate valves and buttons; easy and convenient maintenance, with minor repairs every 3 years and major repairs every 5 years; automatic grid connection, no manual labor required, saving time and effort; efficiency comparable to international leading brands; easy installation and tuning, with simple configurations for experimental use at low cost; long-term use configurations include a human-machine interface touch screen that displays power generation, voltage, frequency, cumulative power generation, and other parameters; stable connections with minimal fault 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 photothermal technologies. By the end of 2009, nearly 1.3GW of projects were under construction, with 12.6GW of project engineering to be announced for commencement before 2014, spanning regions rich in solar resources such as Asia, Europe, and North Africa. It is projected that by 2015, the total scale of global photothermal power generation projects will exceed 17GW.
Solar thermal power generation has become a hot spot for the development of renewable energy on a global scale. As early as the 1980s, more than 20 solar thermal power stations with capacities exceeding 500 kilowatts of various forms were built overseas. Among them, the first and second solar thermal power stations in California, USA, achieved capacities of 850 megawatts and 750 megawatts, respectively, marking the beginning of commercial operations in solar thermal power generation.
Our country started late, and on June 1, 2007, the first domestic 70-kilowatt solar tower thermal power generation system was certified and accepted in Nanjing. On July 1, 2010, construction of Asia's first solar tower thermal power station began in Yanqing, Beijing.
