Solar thermal power generation represents an innovative technology in energy conversion. It employs an ingenious method of utilizing a vast array of reflecting mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto heat collectors, efficiently heating the working medium (such as a liquid) within. This process generates high-temperature thermal energy, which subsequently drives crucial equipment like turbines, ultimately transforming the thermal energy into clean electrical energy. It is noteworthy that this technology is equipped with advanced thermal storage systems, which enable the storage of heat energy and ensure stable and continuous power generation even during periods of insufficient sunlight or varying weather conditions.
Solar thermal power generation is characterised by high stability, with the capacity to withstand fluctuations in solar intensity and weather variations. Furthermore, it is environmentally friendly, emitting no greenhouse gases or pollutants, thereby contributing positively to environmental protection. As a result, solar thermal power generation has gained widespread application and promotion in various regions, emerging as a significant force in driving energy transformation and sustainable development.
Background
In a new energy solar thermal power plant, the reflectors are not only numerous but also occupy a significant amount of space, thus making them an indispensable key component of the entire system. In order to achieve real-time monitoring of the reflectors' status, it is of the utmost importance to accurately capture a multitude of data points, including angle changes, position information, and operational status, such as whether the reflectors are reflecting light as intended, as well as detecting any potential issues such as damage or contamination. To this end, a monitoring and communication system has been designed which is both suitable and reliable for use in new energy solar thermal power plants. The objective of this system is to guarantee the stable and reliable operation of the on-site monitoring system, thereby effectively enhancing power generation efficiency and providing robust support for the operation of new energy solar thermal power plants.
