Abstract
The object is to simplify systems in a solar thermal power generation plant and thereby provide a solar thermal power generation system achieving reduction in the construction cost and the power generation cost. The solar thermal power generation system comprises: a solar heat collection device which collects solar heat and thereby heats up molten salt as a primary heat medium; a solar heat accumulation/radiation device including a low-temperature tank which stores molten salt to be supplied to the solar heat collection device, a high-temperature tank which stores high-temperature molten salt heated by the solar heat collection device, and a secondary heat medium heater which heats up a secondary heat medium by using the high-temperature molten salt supplied from the high-temperature tank as a heating medium; and a compressor/high-temperature turbine power generation device including a compressor which generates compressed air as the secondary heat medium by compressing air taken in from the atmosphere to a prescribed pressure and a high-temperature air turbine which drives a generator by taking in the compressed air heated by the secondary heat medium heater.
