To accommodate the development of the solar thermal industry, our company has independently developed a steam turbine for solar thermal applications, featuring: easy start-up, no need for warm-up; simple operation, ready to run in 1 minute; labor-saving, only requires regular checks; easy and convenient maintenance, minor repair every 3 years and major repair every 5 years; automatic grid connection, no manual labor required, saving time and effort; efficiency comparable to international big brands; simple and affordable configurations for experimental units; long-term use units come with a human-machine interface touch screen to display power generation, voltage, frequency, cumulative power generation, and other parameters; mature and stable connections with minimal fault points.
Currently, with the decreasing availability of fossil fuels like coal and oil, there's an increasing reliance and demand for renewable energy by 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 begun 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 projects scheduled to commence construction before 2014, spanning regions rich in solar resources such as Asia, Europe, and North Africa. It is anticipated that by 2015, the total scale of global solar thermal power projects will exceed 17GW.
Solar thermal power generation has become a hot spot for the development of renewable energy internationally. As early as the 1980s, over 20 solar thermal power stations of various forms with installed capacities exceeding 500 kilowatts had been built abroad. Among them, the first and second dish-shaped solar thermal power stations in California, USA, reached installed capacities of 850 megawatts and 750 megawatts, respectively, and solar thermal power generation has already begun commercial operation.
Our country started late, 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 began on the first tower solar thermal power station in Asia, located in Yanqing, Beijing.
