Shouhang Energy-saving Dunhuang 100MW molten salt tower CSP station is in the southwest area of Dunhuang Optoelectronics Industrial Park. It is independently designed, invested and constructed by Beijing Shouhang Energy-saving. It is currently the world's highest molten salt tower CSP station. The power station started construction at the end of 2016 and was successfully connected to the grid and put into operation on December 28, 2018. China has become one of the few countries in the world that has mastered the technology of 100-megawatt CSP stations. It is currently the world’s largest concentrator, the highest heat-absorbing tower, the largest thermal storage tank, the shortest construction period, and the 100-megawatt-class continuous power generation. Molten salt tower type CSP station.
The CSP station covers an area of 7.8 square kilometers. The 12,000 multi-sided heliostats with a total reflection area of 1.4 million square meters surround the 260-meter-high heat-absorbing tower in concentric circles. After the molten salt is heated, part of the superheated steam is generated by the steam generator and drives the steam turbine generator set to generate electricity, and the other part of the hot molten salt is stored in the molten salt tank to continue to meet the power generation demand after sunset. The heat storage tank is an important part of the heat storage and exchange system of the entire CSP station. The height of the storage tank in the project is 15 meters, the diameter of the cold tank is 37 meters, the design temperature is 400 degrees, the diameter of the hot tank is 39 meters, the design temperature is 593 degrees, and the tank body Strict requirements for thermal insulation performance were put forward, and RockTech ROCKWOOL was finally selected. This product is widely used in storage tanks, container boilers and pipeline surfaces in CSP stations, as well as in cold and hot pipelines. It has a good thermal insulation effect, and has high temperature resistance, good hydrophobicity, low thermal conductivity and high corrosion resistance. Features, can provide the highest level of protection for boilers, furnaces, distillation towers, valve bodies, pipelines and other equipment in petrochemical, power plants and other industrial production to resist heat and energy loss, and avoid fire, noise and other harmful effects.
The first flight of energy-saving Dunhuang 100MW CSP station allowed Chinese new energy companies to enter the global CSP market and become an important player in the world's CSP industry. The power station has an annual power generation of 390 million kWh and can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 350,000 tons per year, creating considerable economic and social benefits. ROCKWOOL Group expects to make more use of the application of rock wool materials in the field of industrial thermal insulation, further improve energy efficiency in the field of industrial production, and promote the sustainable development of society.
