INTERNET OF THINGS TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF INDIRECT DUAL TANK HEAT STORAGE SYSTEM IN SOLAR PHOTO-THERMAL POWER PLANT

ABSTRACT
In order to study the temperature control of the IoT for indirect dual tank heat storage systems in solar thermal power plants, the author proposes a refined design method for heat storage systems. Through CFD software FLUENT analysis, the author proposes a temperature control scheme for storage tanks in solar thermal power plants and applies this method to the temperature control and salt injection processes of actual commercial power plants. The refined design of a systematic heat storage system mainly involves precise calculation of molten salt content and refined analysis of overall and local stresses in the storage tank. For molten salt storage tanks with a diameter of about 30 m, every 1 cm of liquid level design error will result in economic losses of tens of thousands of Yuan. In addition, the design process of storage tanks should fully consider temperature control, salt injection, and some special operating conditions during operation. By numerically simulating the flow process of flue gas and molten salt in the storage tank and the real-time wall temperature of the storage tank, a temperature control scheme that does not exceed the maximum allowable wall temperature difference of the storage tank is obtained to reduce thermal stress during the temperature control process of the storage tank, reduce the risk and failure rate of the storage tank. The temperature control scheme has achieved good results in practical projects.
