Numerical Design of Solar Collector Trough System for Integrated Solar Combine Cycle

Recently, integrated solar combined cycle plants (ISCC) have been introduced in the power generation sector as a technology with high potential to simultaneously reduce fossil fuel usage, environment pollution and to help reduce the costs of solar energy. This paper introduces a calculation method to design of a solar collector trough system integrated in an ISCC with capacity 100 MW. The solar collector trough system supplying heat for a haft of 50 MW steam turbine, which work at night time and daytime. The proposed formulations are verified by experiments, and can be applied to the design of a real system in practice.
