Solar Powered Thermal Power Plant

Abstract: In the proposed solar powered Thermal power plant, Diethyl Ether is used as refrigerant over water for heating it at minimum temperature, where Refrigerant boiling point is 34.6 degree centigrade which appropriately convert into steam at atmosphere condition and further addition of solar heat for increasing in temperature and pressure up to 55 degree which will produce enough temperature and pressure to drive a turbine blade which will help in generating the electrical energy. The whole operation is performed in a closed loop, while steam is initially evaporated in copper tube using solar heat, then steam will reach at certain pressure then pressure operating value is released automatically, so that the steam is expanded on turbine which tends to rotate it and it is connected to generator/alternator for power generation, after driving turbine the steam is moved to capillary tube where pressure and temperature is dropped and sent back to storage tank so that the cycle is repeated. 5 Claims & 1 Figure

Specification

Description:Field of Invention
This invention is mainly used for generating the energy from the solar by converting heat into the electricity by using low boiling point chemical.
Background of the Invention
There are very few invention with regards to utilizing energy from the sun directly and then converting into the electricity, the earlier invention which uses solar energy to convert electricity is solar panel by using some basic principal such as photovoltaic effect, and the maximum functional efficiency can reach up to 22% with the maximum operating lifespan of 25-30 years, there are various tools for extracting energy from the heat other than solar energy can be geothermal energy who uses the underground heat as a clean and green energy and acts as renewable energy source of energy with the basic principle of extracting the high temperature water inside the core and then pumping up with the high pressure, while it reaches to the surface then it pressure is reduce which directly convert water into steam which further used for rotating the turbine and then further electricity is produced.
Here extracting the green energy is very expensive process, where the solar panel is very costly which merely affordable for semi-urban and rural areas other than solar panel other renewable extracting source like horizontal wind turbine or geothermal plant is very huge and occupy large space which ultimately result in expensive, which cannot be affordable.

Summary of the Invention
The above mentioned limitation is removed which is bulkiness and expensive in nature for extracting the renewable energy.
The present invention is focused on the compactness of design which occupies less space and it can be transported from one place to another easily comparative to others.
The further specific objective of the project is to create the energy from the solar heat which converts the chemical into the steam and then further generation of the electricity by using the steam energy.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The commonly used renewable energy is biomass where the organic matters such as firewood, plants, dead animals, dung, paper millet. Here the process of extracting energy is the organic matter absorb the solar energy and then through the photosynthesis process which converts carbon dioxide and water compound into the nutrients which is mainly carbohydrate, after that the biomass can be converted into the useful energy by creating heat or also process bio-fuel, the electricity can be generated by using the heat created by biomass, there are some of the chemical process which undergoes known as torrefaction or by pyrolysis method. This method is usually very spacious and the large amount of organic matter is needed for creating the biomass for useful energy which can last for long. This type of project is mainly community focused where the people contribute in organic matter.
The current need of the hour is generating the power which uses less space and inexpensive which promotes the green and clean energy so that without harming the environment utilizing the energy which is affordable and easy. Here the complex in nature of design of geothermal plant and other plant which utilizes space and cannot be found everywhere to extract the energy which is a kind of rare, by utilizing the solar energy by simple design and affordability can be used as future source for extracting the energy.
The present invention is mainly focused on utilizing the solar energy to the most and then further process is done for converting the electricity which is the basic principle of this solar powered thermal power plant. Here the chemical used can be any chemical which has lower boiling point such as Diethyl Ether which is also known as DEE has a boiling point of 34.5 degree Celsius which is far below the boiling point of the water which is 100 degree Celsius. Here part (1)) is the tube where the chemical is stored which is directly exposed to the sun for the solar heat, the maximum temperature is can reach is up to 80-85 degree Celsius which is almost double of the boiling point of Diethyl Ether which can be in state of steam which high pressure which is ready to release from the container, the valve can be used at the end of the container for stopping or regulating the steam from entering into the next stage.
In part (4) there are several tubes are attached to the container which can be helpful in the process of convection of energy at the large, the material which the storage is made up of can be used where the material possess the higher conductivity of heat like copper material to transmit the heat very rapidly which helps in converting the chemical into the steam which is further heated init to removing the moisture content.
The part (2) basically consist of motor attached to the propeller which is used for converting the energy from the steam, whereas the steam from the container is released via valves then the high pressure steam is bombard into the propeller which further rotates it and by using the gearing mechanism by stepping up or down as per desired design which further rotates the motor for generating the energy. Here the energy extracted from the conversion of the heat to electricity can be further stored into the battery or It can be ready to utilize into the market supply which is very inexpensive in nature.
Part (3) is box type structure which is placed at the side of fuel container where the fuel steam is entered into it and after bombardment steam is then converted back to its liquid states whereas the cooling process start after steam contact with the propeller, because of the pressure difference from higher pressure to the lower pressure it start converting back to its state and the box is supplied the external cooling to further lower the temperature of the box which was heated by the steam. After converting into the liquid form is goes from the non-return valve which is place below the box between box and the fuel container so the fuel cannot return back to the box.
Our invention can overcome from the above limitation which is very compact in nature and the affordability was the ultimate focus. The complexity of other machinery is resolved and the alternate to the solar energy is created for clean and green energy.
