It can be found that the EPT of the CSP-T station is estimated at 4.88 years, accounting for 16.25 % of the operation cycle of the thermal power station, and varies depending on the station's location. It can be reduced to 3.19 years in places such as North Africa with abundant light intensity.
The efficiency of a solar thermal power plant is the product of the collector efficiency, field efficiency, and steam-cycle efficiency. The collector efficiency depends on the angle of incidence of the sunlight and the temperature in the absorber tube and can reach values up to 75 %. Field losses are usually below 10 %.
Like in any power plant, a solar power plant in operation requires maintenance. As the solar power plant becomes older, operation and maintenance (O&M) becomes more and more important for improving the performance of the plant. Most of the solar power plants are located in remote places with unreliable communication infrastructure .
In addition, the EPT of the CSP-T station is related to the local average annual normal direct radiation (Table 11). In western Xizang, which has the most abundant solar energy resources in China, the energy recovery period of the molten salt tower photovoltaic power station will be reduced to 3.92 years.
The solar power tower, also known as “central tower” power plants or “heliostat.” In solar thermal tower power plants, hundreds or even thousands of large two-axis tracked mirrors are installed around a tower.
Also, as the solar power plant becomes older, operation and maintenance (O&M) becomes more and more important for improving or keeping the performance of the plant. Another aspect to be taken into account is that usually the solar power plants are in remote locations with unreliable communication infrastructure .
