Abstract

DAHAN, the pioneer 1MWe CRS (central receiver system) funded by Ministry of Sciences and Technology (MOST), which can be regarded as the milestone in solar thermal power development in China, is now under construction at the foot of The Great Wall nearby Beijing. The major objective of the design and construction of DAHAN is to demonstrate the operation of CRS in China. A software tool HFLD is developed for heliostat field layout design and performance calculation. The simulation results from HFLD approximately agree very well with the published heliostat field efficiency data from Spain PS10. Based on that, the heliostat field layout of DAHAN is designed using HFLD and the whole CRS performance is simulated in the TRNSYS plant model. The modeling and simulation of this plant is presented in this paper.
