Design and sizing of a solar thermal power plant with parabolic trough collectors
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this project is to build a solar thermal power plant to supply the MUTSAMA center. The lack of electricity and the need to increase the efficiency of the MUTSAMA center are the main reasons why we decided to carry out this work. To achieve this, we adopted a strategy of studying the selection of the site and the solar resource, calculating and adapting the parameters of the solar thermal power plant and choosing the equipment for our production source. To meet the objective, we carried out a modelling and simulation study of the solar thermal power plant using the SAM tool, and designed a system for orienting the collectors to the path of the sun using an Arduino Uno R3 board and TinkerCad software. The plant's collectors are parabolic troughs made by Solagenix (SGX-1). The plant is built with two collectors, each formed by twelve modules, and produces a power of 0.5 MW with 12 hours of operation in the absence of sunlight. The results show that the plant can produce a power of 517.17KW, an energy evaluated at 325939KWh for one year with a capacity factor of 8.3% and gives a maximum power for a period of 10 hours to 16 hours during the day.
