Abstract
Solar Thermal Brayton Cycle (STBC) is the technology chosen for this analysis. The plant uses a parabolic dish to collect and concentrate the solar beam onto a small area, where is placed a receiver. This thermal energy promotes the heating of the working fluid, which moves the turbine of power block, producing electicity. Furthermore the system operates at low pressure, thanks to the regenerative cycle involved; a recuperator is placed after the compressor in order to pre-heat the incoming air using the exhaust gas from the turbine. STBC technology is very promosing among the CSP, thanks to the major peak efficiency, due to the higher operating temperature reachable and concentration ratio designed.
Particularly, the small-scale plant (1-20kW) has been analyzing, thought to provide electricity for the small villages and isolated communities, which aren’t often linked to the main grid as the transmission line can’t cross vast stretches of land
